My goal: Create the #1 protocol on @solana for value returned to users.

If we don’t make @DefiLlama create a new metric for us, we haven’t done our jobs.

The next generation of protocols shouldn’t extract value.

They should create and distribute it.

Stay tuned.

I gave GPT access to things I have written both in and outside of crypto and asked it to summarize my essence in a paragraph. What do you think - does it know me?

One thing that’s constant with CT: there’s a group of people who love to remind and judge you based on your worst moment.

I was transparent about my large liquidation on 10/10 in the hopes that my experience would help others. In reality 10/10 was one of four times I’ve been liquidated in my entire trading career.

No liquidations YTD with over a 97% “close in profit” rate.

I would call on those who seem to get hung up on a guys worst moment and refuse to move on to examine what is in their own life and trading journey that causes them such joy to celebrate the old, past moments of others.

If you need a hug, just ask.

@Mufasa__67 🫂 right here, sir

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@what_xbt I did actually

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

I’ll never forget when I posted this last year how many people lost their minds over the funding and missed the profit.

I learned that day why many people stay broke. If your mind is constantly focused on the risk you will be blinded to the reward.

A good trader sees both.

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@drift_trades Well those were two different and distinct events. I didn’t stay long in regret/self pity but I really didn’t get my confidence back until probably the beginning of April of this year.

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@zjust___e I owned a traditional business for many years before I became a trader. So I entered the game with some money but not as much as I wanted to fully retire. Crypto is now my full time job.

@Cruzo_eth 🫂 take a breath and uncook - you’ll bounce back

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@lateeftitilay0 🫂 thanks for sticking with me through all of the craziness. Everyone grows up hard, some do it publicly in the spot light.

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@etxbees 💯

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@mrillustriouss 🫂 give yourself space and time to heal. The market will always be here. Clouded mindset and emotions compound losses, tho. Come back to it when you truly feel ready.

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@Maki___007 Without a doubt, I got you 🫂

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@Godwithos 🫂 cheer up, king. Nothing is permanent.

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

Both. I was stubbornly contrarian which normally pays me. But I got so focused on being contrarian I missed some of the obvious signs. So I would have been red and had to cut at a loss at some point anyway, even if not for the full account balance I had parked on HL. On the the technical side it was a catastrophic failure of crypto. Market makers pulled liquidity everywhere because they temporarily couldn’t hedge on the largest exchange (Binance) during that exchanges own cascade of failures that day.

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@DaveTechBeyond No doubt. Stay strong, king. 🫂

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@GodianFran4590 I got you, brother 🫂

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@robb_schmidt Ouch man, I’m so sorry. Here’s to cheering on your recovery!

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@onlywemmy I feel you. We all are, whether it’s personal, financial or trading related. This too shall pass 🫂

[The White Whale @WhiteWhaleLabs]

@coded7_ Got you! 🫂
