It’s funny because “The Trenches” is actually the perfect name for it
You are all soldiers and 99% of you will die on the frontlines whilst getting the weapons manufacturers (launchpads, tg bots) endlessly wealthier
They need to encourage you to continue fighting on the front lines for them to get wealthier
The Fish & Monkey Methodology
I believe we all have a trading nature.
Some are fish - they aim to reach the shore every day. They prioritize consistent gains over life changing stories.
Others are monkeys – they want it big, and exciting.
The first step is understanding your core.
Once you know your nature, the next step is to stay loyal to it.
Loyalty purely means avoiding useless cope.
If I’m a monkey, I don’t cope over roundtripping.
If I’m a fish, I don’t cope over papering moonshots.
When you truly own that, you can start adapting to stages in the market as different markets reward different breeds.
A fish can stay a fish but in a 'believers market', he might add " always keep a 10% moonbag" to his system.
A monkey can stay a monkey, but in a 'jeet market', he might add "always secure initials" to his system.
Fish cry on trees, ︀︀monkeys scream in the ocean - ︀︀keep loyal to your system or be raped by the cat.
i'm a hard believer that anyone is always 2-3 good decisions away from an exponential that makes the rest of their career look like a footnote
look back on the past 2-3 yrs and u'll be surprised by how many ppl 10x outperformed expectations out of nowhere
never underestimate
there were so many free trades in the past 3 months it truly makes me wonder
Is trading about being smart? Is trading about having the best tools?
I dont think so
To be the most profitable, especially from what I've personally seen, is to simply have big fat fucking balls
the type who does not hesitate, the one who knows when to slam their port into a +ev high r/r setup
the one who holds their entire position while everyone else trims and takes partials
these are the true wagmi warriors
over the past two weeks we've had some of the most insane opportunities to make money on-chain
1) $CARDS - 15x in a few days
2) $PUMP - 3x with unlimited size
3) streamer coins like $KIND and $BAGWORK that went to $50 million marketcap + all the other small streamer coins
4) $ASTER - 5x with unlimited size in less than 8 hours
this is just a reminder that even if you miss a play, there is going to be something else that comes up shortly after
this is why I tell everyone to just keep showing up every day
even if you take a break, and you're spending time working IRL or whatever, make sure you're tapped into what is going on because one day you're going to be early to the opportunity that changes your life
don't give up, keep learning, and be ready for the next play
