There are lots of people who have been in crypto since my time (early 2017) that basically haven’t made any money You just don’t hear about them because dead bodies don’t talk You need to assume that you’re an impulsive idiot who will round trip most of your money So hedge against yourself Get a job (in crypto or otherwise) and shove it into the S&P 500 as a cushion It’s not sexy and your ego will take a hit, but it simply works ‘Worst’ case your crypto trading will be lower stress, you’ll make better decisions, and you’ll have more dry powder to execute on a few big trades per quarter or even per year What you see on your feed isn’t real: it’s massive survivorship bias with varying amounts of LARPing Zoomer trenches have microwaved normal people into thinking they need to be rotating 10x/day while ‘trading’ 16 hours/day while copy traders farm them, all while underperforming BTC Most people lose most of their money Survival is an actual edge in crypto, but you need to stick around long enough to make the most of it - and that means doing ‘boring’ stuff that works GM(Cred)
