there are months where days happen, and there are days where months happen.
stay patient, stay locked in, and recognize opportunities when they appear.
shooters shoot, you don’t need every shot to win. my win rate isn’t that impressive, but the wins tend to massively overcompensate for the losses.
we’re starting to see more and more fair launches on @base, and I expect this trend to continue. a lot of founders struggle to secure proper fundraising through traditional incubators despite building genuinely strong products.
now they have a new path, bootstrap their startups and raise directly from the community on @base. permissionlessly from anywhere in the world. and that’s huge.
I expect more strong founders building strong products to choose fair launches on @base going forward, and more 100-1000xs to come.
stay positive, stay locked in.
Being a complainer is one of the worst personality traits a person can have
Constant negativity, self pity, and finding problems in everything
People seriously underestimate how much constant complaining ruins not only their life but the lives of those around them
I have to disagree with Salsa here
You don't have to be a grifter to outperform buy-and-hold
If you had the chance to buy BTC under $5,000, you also witnessed:
- ICO season + ETH run
- Binance launchpad + BNB run
- DeFi summer
- L1 ETH killers run
- NFT season
- Memecoins
- Hyperliquid
This space has been one of the easiest to make money in over the past decade
If people could not outperform BTC, this is skill issue

THE OFFICIAL PROFIT INTERVIEW
@FlippingProfits will be joining us on @ShaamsSunday to finally reveal his more personal side to CT.
See you all on May 17th @ 7 pm CST.
The hardest part about trading is not really finding narratives or speed or sizing, the hardest part is understanding asymmetric upside based around the market
Whether to dial up your sizing, pushing more volume, exiting quicker, buying earlier, it all boils down to how you understand the current markets and whether your actions will result in a higher chance of a gain than a loss
I recently been reading over a lot of analysts predictions for the SP500 and they all have something similar
There's always been periods that favored aggressive approaches when it comes to leading industries but vice versa there's been plenty of times where it's been highly effective to just be safe in diversified holdings
Crypto works in similar fashion but usually with more asymmetry when it comes to r/r
Your job as a trader will always be to know when to dial it up or down
You can't be a holder in a flippers market, you can't be a flipper in a holders market (I say this loosely cuz obviously you can but more times than not you'll be punished for it) But there will always be transitional periods where what's needed flips slowly and that's where legends are made (or makes a comeback)
Believe in something
High-agency people are relentless reality-benders who treat life like a puzzle they will solve.
High-agency people genuinely believe that reality is negotiable in a "there are always more levers to pull" way. It's about having this bone-deep conviction that if you keep poking at something from different angles, eventually something will give.
High-agency people seem to have insane luck. They don't. They just tried 47 things while everyone else tried two and gave up.
The conviction that reality is negotiable is generative, it makes you creative. Because if you believe there's always another angle, you start looking for angles other people don't see.
Instead of letting yourself be discouraged by the effort it will require, be motivated by the future rewards you’ll reap.
Luck is fishing. And you control how many lines you have in the water. The person with 47 lines in the water isn’t “luckier” than the person with 2. They just have 23,5x more surface area for
something to bite.
A moving man will surely meet his luck.
I find it so interesting how people will blindly follow numbers put in front of them
Bundled 34% -> sounds good
Insiders 14% -> sounds good
Snipers 3% -> sounds good
People online 5000 -> sounds good
24h Volume 500m -> sounds good
People taking a shit looking at this chart 500 -> sounds good
It's like people don't question at all what's in front of them, they just blindly assume
'yea that sounds about right, don't know how you got there but sounds good'
