we are living through the greatest period to be a trader in human history
Trump as pres with direct incentive to pump markets & not afraid to directly influence positions when needed
now fed not using forward guidance so we will have increased volatility in both directions giving more opportunities for trades, especially great for those terminally online and paying attention
at same time we are experiencing the most revolutionary technological step change with artificial intelligence & 2027-28 the models will get even exponentially better than they currently are
open source ai quickly catching up to closed source ai in usability, so experimentation from founders going to increase meaningfully
AI stocks already up infinite and individual retail has a lot of cash on hand while also being risk on
crypto still the best environment for new traders to go from $1000 to $1,000,000 because of opportunities onchain & popularity of perps as a product with access to *all* trending assets not just coins
ability for trades to go viral online, which means that @X becomes a tool for activist investing as people putting on the trades can also be very loud about them which makes the trades more viral & in turn more popular
crypto down -80% for the most part, & trades especially fast momentum wise, will only take a few good retail stories of people making a lot of money for interest to return again & to surprise ppl to upside
solana specifically has improved fundamentals substantially and is at a decision point wrt future plans on improving tokenomics while core infra teams have only gotten better, lots of tailwinds possible if they are able to not only sustain retail interest with memes but also on things like tcg/rwas & perps
a reminder that @blknoiz06 was once in your position
anything is possible fam
keep grinding, never give up, keep trying new shit
eventually you will figure it out
Trading is about learning in real time.
I faded $ANSEM even though I first saw it around $10M. Went to sleep and decided I'd bid in the morning cuz I figured it already pumped too much
Woke up to $50M and it just kept going, so I cope bid.
I was originally against the creator meta from past experience. I've seen how extractive it gets.
But Ansem has made the right moves. Focusing on one coin, airdropping, the overall direction. You can see it in onchain volume up across the board.
Shows you what's possible when you have a crypto native with long time horizons leading a creator coin.
The worst thing you can do is trade the market you wish existed instead of the one in front of you.
Your job is to trade what's real.
End of the day, if $ANSEM teaches 3 things:
1. Focus on one coin
2. Rotate less
3. Believe in higher ceilings
Then I believe this is good for our space.
Crypto is the tail end of the risk curve.
If you're here for the innovation, understand that people don't give a fuck about innovation unless it makes them money.
Make people money > Make crypto cool again > Make builders want to build here.
And the innovation follows.
