Trying to catch the bottom is such a low probability game as you are counter trading trend.
Sometimes itโs as simple as allowing price to fall, let the range build, show signs of accumulation and enter on the right side of the v reversal.
Just woke up in the middle of the night, I know I keep saying this stuff but my dopamine receptors are already fried from the other 50 times my portfolio has gotten fucked so it's fine.
A lot of you are getting zeroed for the first time. I already have a few friends who might not even be alive right now on the other side of the world who said they were gonna end it a few days ago and haven't been online since then.
Not trying to ramble, but my point is, every time you lose unfathomable amounts for the first time it feels like your life is just completely over and there's no chance you'll ever make it back.
If that's you, then you need to completely stop thinking about whatever your ATH port value was. It doesn't matter, nobody ever sells or exits at their exact top anyway, that number is irrelevant.
You need to realize, if you even made that much in the first place then you did something that 99.9% of other people will never do in their lives.
You clearly are capable of recovering from this even though it feels like the world has ended. That feeling of hopelessness will become less and less every day, it might be hard to talk to family or friends for a while.
Take a few days to cry or whatever you need to do but make sure you find at least one person to actually talk to about what happened.
It is INFINITELY harder to deal with this stuff alone, trust me. You don't need to go into specifics or anything. Keeping it bottled up will make this feel significantly worse.
If you still have high 5 figs or 6 figs then you should absolutely not trade for at least a week, revenge trading will make it far worse than it has to be. Your judgement will be severely clouded whether you realize it or not.
Sorry, didn't mean to type so much but just realize that, as much as it feels like the end, it isn't, and MANY people in this space can relate to how you feel right now. I'm not posting this for engagement or anything, I just know exactly how a lot of you feel and have genuinely been there many times.
In a year or so, you will think back to this moment and it'll feel ridiculous that you ever thought it was over, trust me.
The $WLFI launch wasnโt just a milestone - it was a historic moment for institutional DeFi.
For the first time, weโre watching a sovereign-backed, capital-markets-native team go live with real infrastructure, real backing, and a roadmap that could reshape how money flows onchain.
Yes, there's a dip. Yes, people panicked. But its all a setup in greater scheme of things!
Sell-the-news events donโt break narratives like this. They reset them before the next leg.
If the Trump family executes even part of whatโs been laid out - and the institutional capital flows in - the entire #USD1 will 10x from here!
Youโre already seeing the early signs:
- $BLOCK signing major partners like @Vaulta_ (ex-EOS, $4.1B ICO)
- $WLFI pushing forward with $6M+ in digital banking commitments
- Core infra expanding across ETH and Solana through launchpads, incubators, and stable rails
Zoom out.
Reforestation starts with Brett x Invest Islands Foundation ๐ณ
More than 100 participants, including government agencies, stakeholders, local communities, students, and residents, participated in a tree planting event in the Gunung Bongak Ecotourism Area, Indonesia.
A total of 3,000 sengon and tabebuya tree seedlings were successfully planted on 96 hectares of land.
Let's increase public awareness of the importance of the role of trees in maintaining environmental sustainability and ecology.
People are still sleeping on memecoin.
I'm not talking about $MEME (@memecoin) or any individual memecoins, but memecoin as a category.
What more proof do you need when the US President launches a memecoin that shoots up to $6B market cap and $30B FDV in less than a day?
Sure, there are only 475K on-chain holders of $TRUMP.
Sure, most liquidity only shifts from other coins and NFTs to $TRUMP.
Sure, most people who bought $TRUMP are probably not newly onboarded.
But it doesn't deny the YUGE attention and validation this event has created for crypto, especially memecoin. IMHO, its impact on retail is on par with, if not more than, $BTC hitting ATH or crypto ETFs getting approved.
As I was sharing at the Binance TH's "Street of the Future" panel today, I believe 99.9% of memecoins come and go, and the new ones probably go to zero faster than the old ones. However, memecoin as a category will continue growing its market and mind share.
A year ago, we were privileged to help launch $MEME, the namesake token of the memecoin category. (Fun fact: $MEME is the 1st result when you Google "memecoin" and the 2nd result when you Google "meme coin")
Today, we are officially launching MemePay (https://t.co/8Egdym2dxF) โ the Mastercardยฎ credit card with 0 fees, crypto rewards, 420% cashback, and more! It is probably the world's first and only memecoin-focused credit card!
Whether you have launched a memecoin or are planning to launch a memecoin, please drop a message to @Memepaycom, @0xChar, or @thisisconan if you want to get your memecoin on MemePay. Let's talk.
It's still Day 1 in our journey to bring memes and memecoins to more people.
FUD or no FUD, we sail on. ๐ดโโ ๏ธ

After a lot of back and forth, and chatting through with @gondixyz I decided to take a 27 ETH loan out on my Punk for 365 days, and use the money to sweep 10 @Memeland Captainz.
I really don't feel that opportunities this obvious arise that often, and my conviction in @9gagceo@0xChar and the rest of the team is painfully bullish.
Now sitting at 22 Captainz, earning ~34,000 $MEME per day, which should be enough to cover the loan on it's own over the next 365 days, without needing to sell any of the NFTs.
Let's see where we end up in a year. Thank you @SignoreGondi for taking the time to chat with me about this and setting up the loan.
