no matter how hard you try to make money trading memecoins, it all comes down to emotions.

being able to stay calm and stoic after both wins/losses will make you way more money than obsessively trying to get an edge in the market.

if you can’t control your emotions while trading every dollar you make will be wiped out until you detach yourself from the money.

@TheShamdoo meme season man. everyone's a winner.

@AjiTae888 you posted on goatcoin that CTO is a scammer. any proof of it?

[Sweep @0xSweep]

Someone in crypto can grind for months

Lose hundreds of hours of sleep

Get rugged 27 times

Go broke

Go insane

and still wake up believing that the future will be amazing

2025 has been an interesting year.

I’ve been in crypto for 8 years now, and 2025 has been by far the hardest year I have had.

I went from a couple thousand in 2017 which I saved up from working at Pizza Hut, to $200K in 2018.

I was instantly hooked. Even before I made money I was obsessed with crypto and knew I wanted to dedicate my life to it.

Soon-after I quit my job and decided to focus on crypto full time I ran my portfolio back down to $10k.

I realised very quickly I wasn’t special and that the market has a unique way of humbling those that get over confident.

Nevertheless, I’d fallen in love with trading. Over the next few years I committed every waking moment to finding an edge and learning as much as I could.

By Dec 2024, I’d turned my portfolio into $5M (initials of around $500k - I was very fortunate to get a job in crypto in 2018 which funded my trading).

2024 was my big year, I made a considerable amount of money in both my on-chain port and on majors.

It felt like all the sacrifice (especially my social life) had been worth it.

Friends and family soon started to notice and asked me to trade with some of their money.

At the start of 2025, I ended up running a fund with a chunk of capital from friends, family, investors (in total around $2M).

A mistake I regret massively to this day. Never take money for friends and family, no matter how certain they are of the risks, it’s not worth it.

One of the biggest trades the fund took was $BELIEVE. While I’m okay with loosing money, I realised very quickly I couldn’t deal with the stress of loosing money for others.

By mid November, they were down circa $500k unrealised. The stress was eating me alive.

I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, I stopped going to the gym. I became a shell of my former self.

Early Dec I made the decision to close down the fund and give everyone their initial investment back.

In total, I ended up losing over $2M in 2025. But more importantly I was completely fucked mentally.

I say this because a lot of CT just show the wins. But in reality, 90% of the accounts you see on X are in a much darker place than you would think.

You’re not alone.

That being said I’m not going anywhere, lots of lessons have been learned this year both in my personal life and in trading.

One thing I can promise, is no matter what I will never give up and I will win.

I know many people can relate to the feeling of being mentally drained from trading this year.

My advice is touch some grass. Opportunities are limited at the moment and there will always be more in the future.

Spend time with your close ones (these relationships are far more important than any amount of money) and enjoy the holidays.

@100xgemfinder your post is 1 year late. try again.

[Altcoin Sherpa @AltcoinSherpa]

if looking to buy any coin for the 'long term' (3 months+):

-don't buy a coin that has unlocks ongoing

-don't buy a coin that is from an extinct narrative (ie. gaming)

-buy a coin that still has mindshare in its sector (hype, pump, fartcoin, etc)

-only buy old coins if they have some relevance (LINK)

-be willing to incur drawdown if buying now

-if buying for more than 1 year, only buy majors

-each coin is different. if you're buying XPL you are buying -93% drawdown in 2 months, if you're buying hype you are buying pmf/team/leader, if you're buying BNB you are buying safety, if you're buying fartcoin you're buying momentum, etc.

-Distinguish if it is a trade vs. an 'investment', where investments usually last longer

-understand you are creeping more into fundamentals realm of front running a move (and predicting) vs. buying momentum on established runners.

many more things to consider

[Googly 👀 @0xG00gly]

If you wonder why CT is so depressed, well this is because most alts are trading significantly below FTX bankruptcy lows.

I checked top200 tokens 3yrs ago & vs. where they are trading now:
- Median perf. in USD: -58%
- Median perf. in BTC: -92%

Brutal...

[OverDose @Overdose_AI]

Is it the most painful chart in finance right now?

The "everything rally" is real - unless you're a crypto degen 😑

[Rawl @EtherRawl]

Crypto is not beginner-friendly. If you can’t afford losses, high volatility, or mental stress, this isn’t for you. As bad as it looks right now, crypto will never completely die. Just like during the dot-com era, around 80% of companies failed, yet Amazon, Google, and eBay survived and went on to define the modern economy.

What to focus on is simple: coins that are profitable and generate revenue, coins that have buybacks, and coins with ETFs. These are some of the key factors your holdings should have in order to survive long term.

If you hold only speculative coins (don’t get mad at me) like VANRY, GPU, VRA, and many others, it may be time to reconsider and make some changes. If you hold them with a small portion of your portfolio (for example, 2–3%) and you enjoy gambling on high-risk, high-reward plays, that’s your choice. But your main holdings should never be concentrated in these types of assets.

solana traders have been at an all time low

this is the best time to refine your edge while others are being lazy

lock in

[HPD @harrypauldavies]

the reason there will never be a retail onboarding to memecoins is frankly because the space is so preposterous

we will take @ChillHouseSOL as an example

imagine having to explain to an everyday human who doesn’t know a single thing about memecoins that-

-people have invested thousands of dollars into a cartoon character with a house on its head

-it has a multimillion dollar market cap

-it is a deriv of another meme coin they haven’t heard of

-the chillhouse character will tell you your money is going to 0 and to sell multiple times a day

-it will say the n word every so often

-it is now beefing with a law firm?

like where do you even begin with that

you just sound like a r*tard explaining it😭

[SmokΞy @smokey0x]

Meme coins will always be superior to prediction markets because they have unlimited upside

[John @CryptoGodJohn]

Maybe one day we will get clarity on what really happened on 10/10

Because the market hasn’t been the same for 2+ months

[dogwifcup @dogwifcup]

@PerpetualCow @perpetualcow anything you found worth sharing?

[dogwifcup @dogwifcup]

@vorstytrades @RipJalens Still forming my theories. but i think memecoins would be here to stay. question is whether it will surpass the high of q1 25 again.

[dogwifcup @dogwifcup]

@vorstytrades @RipJalens perhaps. not sure how much though. been thinking too, during q4 24 - q1 25 cycle lots of these tools were there. and traders were experienced.

could also be a wave. flavoured coins. icos. nfts. memecoin (?). prediction markets (??).
