A reminder for myself and fellow traders as we approach the final innings:
USDC is your best friend. Stable 100% of your biggest wins, and stick to a consistent rule — for example, 80% stable / 20% SOL, adjustable to your risk management and portfolio size.
You will never perfectly sell the top and buy the bottom. However, you can DCA within a 10–30% margin near ATHs. Ask yourself: is it really worth risking a significant amount of money for a 10–15% gain?
While it’s important to have a portfolio goal in mind, it isn’t the end of the world if you don’t hit it exactly. Getting close to that goal and locking in profits by stabling is what matters. You will have plenty of opportunities in the future — especially in the bear — to make it.
On the other hand, if you beat your goals by a significant margin, you might feel on top of the world. Everything’s going right… until there’s a major correction and you’re no longer at your portfolio ATH. It’s crucial not to get fixated on returning to that ATH immediately. That mindset can lead to forcing plays, chasing losses, or abandoning strategies you would normally stick to when thinking clearly.
Know when to stop and book that vacation to Mykonos. When you see the tide pick up speed, the Melanias and Libras come out in full force. It’s important to recognize when we’re in “max extraction mode,” as these periods tend to drain on-chain liquidity.
It’s equally important to know when you’re reaching your personal limit. Money isn’t everything in life — your health, mental fortitude, and relationships matter far more. Money is simply a tool to navigate life more easily and enrich those areas.
Keep track of macro-moving events, the tide can shift very easily.
You will be drowned in opportunities. Don’t beat yourself up on missing some of these, lock in and catch the majority.
Finally, I wish everyone reading this the mental clarity to never lose sight of what drives you to be the best version of yourself — the reason you get up every day and trade for however many hours. Keep yourself grounded and your ego in check. Control your emotions and find your purpose, once you do that there’s nothing that can stop you.
Remember, it only takes one cycle to retire your bloodline.
You say all of this yet have a group guiding new users to trade memecoins
Memecoins brought attention and users to Sol and is why it dominated the narrative this cycle
Otherwise Sol is doing what everyother chain already did and loses it's identity amongst newer chains that provide the same fast experience that Sol does now
