People talk about having an "edge," usually meaning 1000s of trades, journaled setups, secret sauce, etc.
Most Crypto holders won't ever come to this stage, and that's okay.
But here’s a more straightforward edge for most people:
1. Know the cycle stages.
2. Recognize that 95% buy when it feels safe and avoid selling when it feels terrible (euphoria).
Gain an edge by understanding:
- Buying should feel uncomfortable and scary.
- Selling should feel bad and uneasy.
This likely means you’re buying early and selling when euphoria hits.
''Buy when buying feels scary, and sell when selling feels uncomfortable.''
One of man's deepest desires is not to be a burden on anyone and to earn his way. Burdening others brings him shame. He aspires to self-sufficiency so he can be one that gives rather than takes. He does not pursue independence out of vanity, he covets self-reliance out of honour.
Your mileage may vary, but my observation is that the most important progress in trauma recovery is made in teeny, tiny blocks of time & effort. It's the two minute block of focus. It's the next teeny, tiny baby step. It's the micro choices about self talk, focus, & physiology.
@elonmusk@elonmusk life has become too expensive for people, mostly because of central bank policies and failing governments. But you could help start 1000s of families creating the new generations by using your wealth via a foundation of some kind.

The dream: own property in the city you love.
⚡ The reality: you now live in the city your property is in.
Those aren't the same thing.
Geopolitical shifts happen in one day.
Regulations change rental yields without warning.
Your life changes which time zone you want to be in next year.
🌍 The sovereign move isn't buying property everywhere you like.
It's building income streams that let you rent whatever you want, wherever you want, whenever you want.
Flexibility isn't a consolation prize for not owning.
It's the whole point.
how sad one has to be to trick one´s followers in longing, dump on them a couple of days later with zero warning, while already having insane amounts of money, and then thanking one of the few honest builders in this space, Jeff, while showing off some food
if i had one wish for crypto it is that all the criminals like CZ, pretenders like Raoul Pal, and scum like you just disappear from this space forever and never come back. It is honestly what this space needs
Why is crypto not going up while everything is?
Because a large majority of you cunts spent the last cycle promoting garbage negative sum meme coins to newcomers
Now those people hate crypto and your meme coin is worth zero regardless while some scamming cunt drives a new lambo
The ambitious are trapped in an abusive relationship with fear.
They're stuck in a cycle of worry, driven by the need for control and an obsession with earning enough to isolate their families from the world.
But look beneath the surface, and you'll notice a strange, indulgent feel to it.
Like scratching a scab.
Like biting the forbidden fruit.
It offers comfort, reassurance, motivation for the driven; a seductive magic that lures you in and convinces you it's edge.
Your unconscious mind understands the truth of this inner torture.
And so do you. You know it's a game you play with yourself, because play is the highest form of productivity.
To free yourself, you've got to remember it's an inner game you choose to play.
Success is a game of symbolism.
The higher you climb, the more apparent this becomes:
Metrics reflect potential.
Droughts innovate genius.
Pressure is the timer.
Now look closer each destructive force carries an equal creative potential:
Depression = raw creative fuel
Overthinking = strategic precision
Anger = unfiltered truth
Fear = pattern recognition
Learn your game, study it's scoreboard, accept the truth of who you are and refuse to shame yourself for it.
Consequently if you ignore this you are condemned by the constant panic and dread of self betrayal.
Which reflects in the disconnection from all players of the game within your life: work, relationships, self.
so want to work REALLY FUCKING HARD and achieve all of your dreams, but you just can't seem to do it?

99% won't have the guts, but this is the recipe to ACTUALLY make it happen
because saying "just do it bro you just have to start and be disciplined" is not enough.
we need a radical approach to achieve radical change. all of these are non-negotiable:
1. delete all social media off your phone and put on gray scale
2. tell your friends and family you won't be able to see them much for the coming 6 months
3. get rid of the "fun" things you have in your home/ everything you normally use for escapism today
4. acquire everything in the 80/20 cognitive enhancement stack and use it religiously https://t.co/AWQJdR66Ed
the focus is on all-around optimization. biology, environment, distractions, options.
the goal is to achieve an extremely high level of focus.

act on it today: https://t.co/SsTNclaSgC
your work should be the most fun thing in your life if you want to automatically do it a lot and to the best of your ability everyday.
this achieves that.
NOW GO FUCKING DO IT AND I'LL SEE YOU AT THE TOP
Can’t enjoy anything anymore
Music doesn’t hit the same
Video games aren’t fun
Can barely sit through a movie
Crypto and the chase for money may have broken me completely
All I wanted was to be loved
Psychology calls it functional freeze — a state that can happen after prolonged or extreme stress.
When the brain becomes overwhelmed, it may disconnect from the body’s normal drive to act, making even the simplest tasks feel impossible.
Getting out of bed, leaving the house, answering a text, or responding to messages can require more energy than you have available.
From the outside, it may look like laziness or avoidance. In reality, it can be the nervous system’s way of coping with more than it knows how to handle.
High cortisol doesn’t just make you stressed.
It physically remodels your brain.
It shrinks the hippocampus — the brain’s calm/context center.
And enlarges the amygdala — the fear center keeping you anxious, reactive, and scanning for threats.
Stanford’s Robert Sapolsky explains why.
Here are 8 signs it’s already happening to you — and how to change it: 👇
1. You wake up exhausted even after 8 hours of sleep.
