"If someone calls out a memecoin at a $200k market cap and it eventually gets listed on Binance... most of the herd will think they're an alpha. But in my understanding, the timing of their call is basically just luck I personally called DOGE at $180k, Whitepaper at $200k, and Mars City at $15k... all luck. The real alpha entry point for Whitepaper was when CZ tweeted about it in the plaza, and the narrative upgraded past $1M. The real alpha entry point for DOGE was when Trump confirmed the establishment of a DOGE department at $2M, not when someone like me, a news-driven trader, bought in just because Musk floated the idea. How to define alpha? Everyone might have a different opinion, but one thing's for sure: this market will always demystify players who’ve achieved big results. Use your own brain, think independently, and no KOL, leader, or hype master can take advantage of you. The thief in the story didn’t want to work hard but ended up eating shit, getting beaten, and fined anyway... There are no shortcuts in trading. Only when you personally experience the pain of losing money, the self-doubt, the idolization of others, and the eventual disillusionment... will you realize there are no true gods in this market. There’s only your own growth and improvement." #KeepLearning #CryptoJourney #NoShortcuts
