Every month it’s zero or 100k, I will simply enjoy the ride to both

Asset maturity.

An era where most of the soldiers that stand on the battlefield come from different values and goals than you or I.

When one of them runs, so will they all.

Keep your coins.

The sun shines behind us.

[ace 🦚 @formershell]

happy 100k to those who celebrate

[ian @ianxbt]

Observed another figure get added to the price.

Seen them all live.

Bought on principle.

Yet another cycle of being told to sell for 6-7 months right before the fun begins.

Back to the routine.

@wizardofsoho I think this is sort of the new norm, less correlation and more rotational.

Same way crypto flows from majors to alt szn, we will flow from equities to crypto szn.

Just not enough liq to fill all the buckets at the same time rn.

@chairperson Immaculate tweet

The best part is you can repost this later when all of the funds they’re in hit ATH with crypto exposure

Truly evergreen content, bravo

[ian @ianxbt]

@ResearchAvocado Every god damn time, can’t escape this shit.

About to wyckoff myself

[ian @ianxbt]

@ThinkingBitmex What if the SFP isnt until the other one though, ya know the one just left of the pic.

[ian @ianxbt]

@RNR_0 It would’ve been a more peaceful path but would have less BTC for sure. There’s periods of each cycle where you can throw darts blindfolded onchain and take profits into BTC/ETH and walk away happy.

The challenge is identifying when to throw the darts and when to walk away.

@IamNomad The playbook was already exposed that Sahil tells them to let him be the bad guy and they split the money.

Certainly this stops working soon right?

[ian @ianxbt]

@uttamsangwan Fading new perps on a lot of shit during the ‘23 run must’ve been a cook

When the world had free liquidity Binance had the Midas touch sending shit +9 figs on a rumor lol

Something something VCs have no personal hygiene and want to destroy Gotham City

[ian @ianxbt]

@uttamsangwan That’s a funny ass chart. I’m gonna look for more like this for entertainment purposes.

[ian @ianxbt]

@alCamel77 Shortin range lows on lev again

Peculiar

You’d think the double triple quadruple picoussy top at ~70 would’ve brought more shorts

But it seems they wanted the breakout too or were scared of one

More evidence bears are just bulls without balls

[ian @ianxbt]

@fewseethis Over and over and over. I can’t believe how much lev was ran through in this range. Some things never change.

[ian @ianxbt]

@barkery91 It’ll be a sight to behold as the regulatory green lights come and 99% abandon the laser eye “mUh sElF cUsToDy” mentality.

A) Lose your nw because you wanna larp about being “bankless”

B) 2x it because you buy coins that the gov says you can

I’ll be sad but I’m choosing B.

[ian @ianxbt]

Loading up (gif coded) spot here then logging off until ATH was a beautiful path.

Inverse the instinctual spending habits based on market condition.

Live lavishly in the bear and trench body it for the bull.

Missed a lot but now we grind.

[ian @ianxbt]

Short term directional accuracy will become irrelevant.

The urge to be correct is a siren call.

Check your ego.

Unfathomable prices are inbound.

[ian @ianxbt]

Low end volatility estimates were hit.

Big moves have been near-exclusive to "macro" information/news for many months. The Merge was never going to change this.

But it was fun and technologically significant.

As always, the most important thing is profit.

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

And we finalized!

Happy merge all. This is a big moment for the Ethereum ecosystem. Everyone who helped make the merge happen should feel very proud today.

[ian @ianxbt]

Bad behaviors in the books..

Wick it down again I guess
