Cardano is down more than 93% from its 2021 peak and is still worth nearly twice as much today as solana:DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263 was ever worth
$ADA today: $7.7 billion
solana:DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263 at its absolute peak: $4.35 billion
$ADA in 2021: over $90 billion
this shows how fucking small the memecoin run actually was
people look back at 2024 like crypto went insane, but it never came close to the amount of capital that entered this market in 2021
people still turned a few thousand dollars into millions and that happened during a tiny version of what this market can really become
in 2021 the new technology was defi, decentralized finance, which allowed people to lend, borrow and trade without using a bank
venture capital firms believed it could become a completely new financial system, so they threw billions at almost every project connected to it and that wave of capital helped push coins like $ADA above $90 billion
in 2024 the big idea was memecoins and the belief that crypto did not need vcs anymore, the public could buy a coin directly as a community and push it up without a group of investors getting in first
that still created millionaires, but not needing vcs came at a cost because the market also lost the billions they would have invested
that is why even the biggest memecoins never came close to the size of ordinary coins from 2021
bitcoin etfs prove those investors are still back in crypto, but before they put billions into smaller coins again they need a new reason to believe those coins can produce a serious return
that reason will become the next crypto narrative
either a brand new piece of technology like defi was in 2021 or one huge idea with real use that most people are not even speaking about yet
all markets move in cycles and when that narrative appears, vc money will flood back into the projects built around it and crypto will pump harder than ever before
(i am currently running a $1,000 to $1,000,000 trading challenge before that narrative arrives so we have more capital to play with when it does, if you want in it is in my bio)
If you’re reading this right now
Congrats
You’ve survived the bear market.
You’ve watched people quit.
And you’re still here.
I’ve been through this before.
My first cycle humbled me.
My next one changed my life.
I’m not telling you everyone here will become a millionaire.
That’s bullshit.
But I am telling you
You’re here at a time people will wish they paid attention to later.
I’ll share what I see.
I’ll share what I’ve learned.
And I’ll do everything I can to help you get this cycle right.
Don’t fuck this opportunity up.
no capital
If you don’t have the capital to buy into something right now, whether to potentially trade a BO or to accumulate spot crypto at these levels, that’s completely fine. I had less than 1k available in 2021.
The important thing to understand is that crypto will always offer asymmetric trading opportunities. The next bull run, with new narratives and new cycle dynamics, especially now with all the new trading apps and platforms, institution pushing for market share, agentic AI… will inevitably create plenty of new trading opportunities and market dynamics.
So there’s absolutely no reason for you to feel FOMO. There will always be new trading opportunities. Focus on improving your market read and execution. The skill set you build now will be the one that ultimately leads to your success years down the line, when you have significantly more capital to deploy.

i told everyone exactly how crypto traders would lose money in 2026 on christmas eve
8 months later they have spent the entire year proving me right
i said 2026 would be an eternal range
everyone would keep trying to pick a direction only to get chopped up by the next reversal
that is exactly what happened
but the most profitable part of my prediction has not happened yet
when this range finally breaks the market will go from painfully slow to extreme volatility
that is when we make the most amount of money
most people will only lock in once price is already flying
by then its too late, they have fomo
we started the $1,000 → $1,000,000 challenge before it
perfect timing
lock in
Biss dont miss
Lots of people have already been taking the trades i called on livestream last week
some have already 2x’d their accounts using my systems
i’m letting everyone get a head start because i’m so kind
let’s run it
I’m completing a $1,000 to $1,000,000 trading challenge
This time, I’m doing it all live for full transparency
Every trade and update will be posted in real time on X
I’ve never done anything on this scale
150 likes and I will start
Reply “1000x” and I’ll DM you the livestream link
Notifications on
the more people doubt
the higher the ROI
the less people doubt
the lower the ROI
nobody catches a 100x buying what everyone agrees on
the 100x lives where people laugh at you
where they call you stupid
where nobody wants to look
by the time the doubt turns to belief
the move is already over
doubt is the price of opportunity
i was forced to cancel my $10,000 to $1,000,000 trading challenge
i spoke to a trader who has made over $50 million from the markets, and he completely changed my mindset
he told me something i had never considered before
when you trade a public account, the challenge changes as your audience grows
at the beginning, nobody is watching
but once thousands of people are following every move you make, your positions become public information
people can track your entries, understand your strategy, and know exactly what you are trying to do
so instead of starting with $10,000, i'm going back to making it even harder
i'm starting with $1,000
turning $1,000 into $1,000,000
for everyone to follow along
a 1,000x challenge
the entire journey will be documented publicly, with every trade live-streamed and every decision made in front of everyone
you will be able to follow along from the very first trade
i will be announcing the official start date very soon
make sure you have notifications on, because this is going to be one of the biggest challenges i have ever attempted
I called so many 10x coins last cycle
$LINK $INJ $NAKA $PEPE $AVAX $XRP $TITS
Now these are all dead.
these will NOT do well this bull run.
Why?
not because they’re shit
(no hate towards them)
but because liquidity doesn’t return to old narratives
every cycle has new leaders
the coins that pumped last time already had their moment
everyone who wanted in got in
there’s no fresh money left to move them
the next 10x won’t come from the past
it comes from where nobody is looking yet
and that’s exactly where I’m hunting
i think i have one final trading challenge left in me
i've proved myself so many times now it's stupid
I done: $2k -> $5 million in 2021
$1k -> $100k publicly
students turned $1k into seven figures in a single cycle
then I had everything stolen from me
started again with €3,000
I got back to seven figures within a year all posted on my profile
most recently i helped traders turn less than $10k into $111k in under 90 days and he did it during a bear market
so here's the deal
i probably have one final challenge left in me for people with small accounts
one last time where i take everything i know & show you exactly how i would aggressively grow a small account from the ground up
the goal this time is simple
we are going for six or seven figures
after that i'm done helping the masses
i'll only work with intelligent people who already have serious capital & understand the opportunity in front of them
but i'm not committing unless the demand is obvious
i need at least 100 ❤️ on this post
reply “CHALLENGE” & i'll DM you the plan
