If I had $1M in crypto now, I would:
1. Be full-time crypto
2. Move to a city where cost of living is not too expensive
3. No memecoins, no leverage. Ever.
4. Allocate $500k stablecoins in DeFi at 5-7% to cover my expenses that I NEVER touch
5. Allocate $250k to farm @tradexyz: volume is still low and upside looks big to me as on-chain tradfi is just emerging
6. Allocate $50k into a sybil farm with 200-500 wallets and forcing myself to spend 2h/day doing things + automating + hunting new opportunities
7. Keep 200k USDC/USDT on Aave ready to ape good coins such as $HYPE or $PUMP during bloody days when people are being liquidated
The goal: survive long enough to catch asymmetric bets while never worrying about paying bills.
Cobie reveals the shared trait of traders who reach $100,000,000
“The common thread among people who make $100M in crypto is that they’re highly self-directed. They don’t read Crypto Twitter and ask what trade to copy, they form their own opinions from first principles.”
“They record what they thought would happen, compare it with the actual outcome and create personal training data. That recursive loop continuously improves their mental model of the world.”
“The people who blow up take enormous risks. The people who make it and keep it are satisfied with what they have and are willing to be cautious.”
“Crypto makes it easy to become a multimillionaire and still feel broke because someone else has more. Stop benchmarking yourself against other people or your imaginary all-time-high net worth.”
