From 1 SOL to consistent profits (150k+ pnl) — and how you can do it too.
It’s a long read, but one worth your time.
About a year ago, I started trading memecoins with just 1 SOL. Today, I’m consistently hitting multiple 5-figure PnLs every month. That’s not luck — I almost never have red days. There’s a real strategy to becoming profitable in this space, and I’m going to share the core truths I’ve learned, along with what it actually takes to succeed.
1) Let’s be honest: anyone can become profitable, but not everyone will. Trading is competition. Less than 10% of traders make money, and fewer than 1% become truly wealthy. You can’t “try it out” and expect to win — you have to commit all your time and energy. Even then, it can take months before you see consistent profits.
2) Don’t trust anyone. A cto lead complains he got dumped on? He probably dumped himself. A KOL hypes a “100x gem he just found”? He’s been in since the $10k market cap with his insider friends. A dev claims he’s building toward $100M? He’s already selling from side wallets. 99% of people in this space will lie, manipulate, or scam you. The only thing you should trust is what you can see and verify on-chain.
3) You have to learn this game yourself. If you can't, at least, find a mentor who isn’t trying to scam you. Twitter, YouTube, and “educational” threads are mostly noise. No one gives away real alpha for free — why would they? Don’t blindly trust content creators and KOLs. Test things yourself. Track results. See what actually works.
4) Master the chain. Become an on-chain god (or demon). Track stealth wallets, not the obvious public ones. Find new launches, spot solid devs, and monitor wallet flows to get the earliest signal on new projects. If you’re buying a coin after a KOL has tweeted the CA, you’re already late — and over time, that means you lose.
5) Improve your psychology. It is very difficult to win if you think about sol as real money. You will always be scared to lose, miss entries and sell too early. This is actually the most difficult skill to master in my opinion. Even people who are in this space for years struggle with psychology problems but you still need to work on this.
6) Start building your social presence. This is one of the biggest mistakes I made — I focused only on growing my portfolio and ignored the value of influence. In reality, having a strong Twitter account with real followers is a huge advantage in this game. It opens doors to new connections, big deals with projects, and even the ability to help push coins. All of these can multiply your profits. Remember: trading isn’t the only way to make money here.
These are the biggest lessons that helped me. But let me be clear: no post — not this one, not anyone else’s — will make you profitable. The only way is to put in the hours, experiment, fail, and learn until you truly understand how the memecoin game works. The good news? The game is beatable.
By the way devving is so stupid. It seems impossible for anyone who doesn't already have motion on their DEV wallet.
For example I was first to DEV jjaemu cat, got 0 buys.
A few hours later 2 other guys vamped it. One bonded and one went to 200k ATH.

This game is literally rigged.
Sniper competition is insane.

It seems that this wallet is green every day and made more than 13k in last week, but when you look closer, he spent 10k on fees.
3k in 7 days is still decent money, but having more than 75% of your profits being spent on fees is crazy.
Yesterday @Cented7 one-clipped his coin $Fortnite for 50 sol and I am not even mad at him.
He literally farms his copytraders and followers every day for several years and you people give him green light to do it.
People in crypto space always give the clout to the biggest ruggers/farmers/scammers and then they are surprised that they lose money.
Every each one of you who lost money to Cented trying to track his wallet totally deserves it.
