the BIGGEST advice for anybody entering their first crypto cycle:
60-70% majors you can hold 6-12 months+: BTC, ETH, SOL, HYPE. add accumulation on a schedule, don't watch it
30-40% degen: onchain, momentum, perps. short timeframe stuff
and JOURNAL every trade. thesis + invalidations, written down. it's how i got good in 2020-2021 - my X is living proof of that
Essentially most guys over 35+ now have this body or worse
You really have to fight this and become ripped to avoid this fate, which means being strict on nutrition and exercise
I call it the "padel body": skinny limbs and a fat beer belly, others call it "pregnant guy" which I like too 😂
It's very risky because belly fat (or visceral fat) is uniquely dangerous: it actively disrupts your hormonal system (which makes you depressed or if you're a guy feminine and if you're a woman masculine), as well as causing body-wide inflammation, heart disease, diabetes and even strokes!
Don't believe me?
🇺🇸 US: Roughly 70% to 77% of adult men over age 35 are overweight or obese, according to national health data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Rates increase significantly with age, peaking during middle age
🇪🇺 EU: Roughly 60% to 80% of middle-aged and older men in Europe are overweight or obese. Data from the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe and Eurostat show that weight-gain heavily scales with age, with male rates consistently higher than female rates
for all yall asking "when bull market?" here's my take:
3 to 6 months. the lows are ALREADY in. what's left is the boring sideways chop where nobody agrees on anything
this is the window. by the time everybody agrees it's a bull market, the discounts are gone

cumicon was the greatest heads-up plo player of all time. at least in my book
if you dont know him, look him up. owner of the famous $8 million straight-line graph. the ultimate grinder turned end boss
i got to watch the whole ride. id be sitting 25/50, 50/100, and id see him in the lobby at 3/6. then 5/10. then 10/20. climbing
funny, i still remember the day he first sat 25/50
now in high stakes heads up theres this nasty urge to bully the new guy. mark your territory. show him his place in the food chain
so i sit and post the blind. not because i really wanted to play him. just to show my dick is bigger and feel good about it. fully expecting a "no thanks"
then he posts
great. i guess we're doing this
still feeling good, telling myself im the favorite against this wannabe
not for long
pretty quickly i realize this dude is already better than me. like… wtf
so i go, "gotta run to dinner. continue later?"
save face and get the fuck out
now youre probably thinking, finally a cool story without this idiot ranting about table selection and how good he was at it
well, jokes on you
i never played him again
Christopher Nolan revealed that he wanted to include the famous “Nobody” wordplay from Homer’s The Odyssey in the film but ultimately couldn’t make it work.
The joke relies on Odysseus telling Polyphemus that his name is “Nobody,” so when the Cyclops cries, “Nobody is attacking me!”, the others leave, thinking nothing is wrong.
According to Nolan, the pun simply didn’t translate naturally into modern dialogue.
Too little exercise is bad for you.
Too much exercise is bad for you.
Stare hard at this image until you get it.
If you are constantly exhausted, you've crossed the ideal limit.
crypto in a low volume market cap is a battlefield
new or old chains. doesnt matter if its robinhood, base or solana
there are never fully "safe bets" in this game, good to understand
you need to build your own conviction and execute your own trades with conviction
I know you guys were not even born in 2004, but when Troy came out we all thought it was Hollywood garbage that didn’t care about source material and just did pew pew bang bang but in ancient greece
ironic how it’s now paraded as a classic masterpiece
🇦🇱🇷🇸 An Albanian man saved a Serbian businessman from being sucked out of Ryanair plane after a window broke during the flight.
"None of the cabin crew helped"
"One man, I think he was an Albanian, was incredible. He did all he could to bring him in and then tried to block the window. We are eternally grateful to him." - said the wife of the Serbian businessman.
This stretch changed my life:
It's called the Couch Stretch and it should be mandatory for people who sit at desks.
Here's how you do it:
1. Get on all fours and put one foot up on a couch or chair and another 90 degrees in front to support.
2. Bring one arm up and lean back until you feel tension.
3. Hold this stretch and breathe deeply.
When you sit for long periods, your legs are stuck at bent angles for up to 8 hours a day.
This causes your hip flexors to shorten by limiting their range of motion. This can create pain in the low back and hips while causing you to become weaker.
The couch stretch counteracts this by mobilizing your hip flexors back to their natural range of motion.
Do this every day for 30-60 seconds and watch your body feel better.
A man usually does not fall apart in one big moment.
It happens in the small choices nobody sees.
Skipping the workout. Opening the app again. Choosing comfort. Avoiding the hard talk. Telling himself he’ll fix it tomorrow.
It all adds up.
Most men are not losing because life is too hard. They are losing because the easy thing keeps winning in their life.
Tell yourself the truth. Cut what weakens you. Build what sharpens you.
Mission over mood. Truth over ego. Discipline over distraction.
Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran?
Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.
Good example of strategy in life. 90% positioning, 10% explosive execution when the timing is right. Activity without achievement is a false god of the modern world.
Something funny I’ve noticed is how a lot of older guys (always out of shape) will tell you to slow down doing physical things because “you’ll pay in the future”
Ironically the fact they slowed down & didn’t take care of their bodies is exactly why they’re in the boat they’re in
