First and last time I talk about this topic, but since a lot of you have asked where I’ve been, I think you deserve some context. I disappeared from here for almost a year. Not because I left the magic internet money industry. Not because markets got boring. And definitely not because I had nothing left to say. I simply reached a point where real life became more important than being online. At first, the reason was simple. I wasn’t inspired anymore. Posting every single day started feeling forced. Something that used to come naturally slowly started feeling like an obligation. And since I don’t need X to survive (and generally try to spend my life doing things I genuinely want to do) I eventually asked myself: Why am I forcing something that no longer adds anything to my life? So I stopped. I stepped away from social media and started living more in the real world. I traveled. Spent time with my family. Worked on a lot of things behind the scenes. And gave myself something I probably needed more than I realized: Space. Eventually, though, I started missing this place. I spent years of my life here. Sharing ideas. Talking to people. Building relationships. Documenting the journey. So there was a point where I genuinely felt ready to come back. But the universe had other plans. Without going into details (one day I’ll tell the full story and everything I have done will make a lot of sense), life punched me in the fucking face harder than I could’ve ever expected. Suddenly, everything changed. Social media didn’t matter. Posting didn’t matter. Growing an account definitely didn’t matter. I had things happening in real life that required my absolute and undivided attention. So I disappeared again. The first time, I chose to leave. The second time, I had to. I needed time alone. Time to deal with things. Time to rebuild myself. And that process took much longer than I expected. My life still isn’t perfect today. But I’m finally in a much better place. And somewhere along the way, I started missing this part of my life again. So last week, I came back to Instagram. This week, it was time for X. And somehow, in perfect timing, one of my favorite tokens decided to skyrocket the exact week I came back, lmao. Since I’ve already seen some comments about it, though, let me make one thing very clear: My absence had absolutely nothing to do with the market. People who have followed me for long enough already know this. I was here every fucking day during the bear market before the 2021 run. I was here after it. I’ve lived through enough cycles to know that when markets become painful and nobody gives a fuck anymore, that’s usually when you should be paying the most attention. And even while I wasn’t posting publicly, I never stopped living in the trenches. I kept researching. Investing. Trading. Accumulating some of my highest-conviction positions when nobody cared about them. And sharing the journey privately inside WiFi Money (link in bio, subtle shill lmao), which genuinely became a second family during my absence. The people there know. I didn’t disappear from the game. I disappeared from the stage. There’s a massive difference. I simply wasn’t willing to perform online while real life demanded something infinitely more important from me. Looking back, I’m glad I gave myself that time. Because as difficult as this chapter has been, it changed me. For the better. And now, for the first time in a long time, I genuinely feel ready for whatever comes next. I don’t know exactly where this chapter will take me. That’s part of what makes it exciting. One last thing: Over the past year, my DMs have been full of people asking where I was, checking on me, and genuinely wondering whether I was okay. I saw them. And I appreciated every single one. Thank you all. Anyway, glad to be back. Now let’s make some fucking money. P.S. ā€œWhat stands in the way becomes the way.ā€

One of the biggest mistakes I see people making in the magic internet money industry is that, the moment they start investing, investing becomes their entire personality. And I genuinely believe this is one of the main reasons why so many people struggle to make significant money in this market, even when they manage to identify good opportunities. Let me explain. Investing, at least the way I approach it, should be a mostly passive game. You identify something you believe is undervalued, whether it’s a stock, a cryptocurrency, an index fund, or whatever else. You do your research, develop a thesis, and allocate capital because you believe that, over time, the market will eventually recognize the value you see in that asset. And then? You wait. Of course, this doesn’t mean you completely forget about your investments. You still need to monitor relevant developments, reassess your thesis when necessary, and make adjustments if something fundamentally changes. But for the most part, there’s not really much else you should be doing. Meanwhile, you keep living your life. You work on your business, advance your career, spend time with your family, take care of your health, travel, learn new things, and keep improving yourself in whatever areas matter to you. Basically, you let investing remain one part of your life instead of allowing it to consume the whole thing. Unfortunately, most people seem completely incapable of doing that. They buy some magic internet money, and suddenly they’re full-time crypto investors. Every morning, the first thing they do is check their portfolio. Then they open TradingView. They start on the monthly chart, move to the weekly, then the daily, and eventually find themselves staring at the 4H chart trying to understand why their favorite token is down 5%. And from that point, their entire mood starts depending on what the market does. BTC pumps 3%? Bull market is back. BTC retraces 4%? We’re going to zero. Lmao. The problem with this behavior is that you’re turning what was supposed to be a long-term investment into an extremely emotional, active game. And that’s where people start making all the mistakes that eventually destroy their portfolios. They sell during corrections because they’re scared. They refuse to accumulate when valuations become attractive because the sentiment is horrible. Then, when the market finally starts moving higher, they suddenly regain confidence and begin buying aggressively again. They FOMO into assets that have already made significant moves, constantly rotate between positions, and change their entire investment thesis based on whatever happened over the previous 24 hours. And the funny thing? Sometimes these people actually bought the right assets in the first place. They simply couldn’t leave them alone. I’ve seen this happen countless times over the years. People identify genuinely interesting opportunities, accumulate them at decent valuations, and then spend the following months obsessing over every little price movement. Eventually, they get impatient. They convince themselves that nothing is happening, that their money could be doing something better elsewhere, or that another token is about to outperform their holdings. So they sell. And sometimes, a few weeks or months later, the exact same assets they spent so much time accumulating start going absolutely parabolic. Without them. All because they couldn’t tolerate the waiting. And this is something I think a lot of people underestimate about investing. Being early can feel exactly like being wrong for a very long time. Just because you’ve identified something that you believe is undervalued doesn’t mean the market has to agree with you tomorrow. Sometimes it takes months. Sometimes years. And if you’re spending every single day staring at the 4H chart, those months are going to feel like a fucking eternity. On the other hand, I’ve also seen people make genuinely life-changing money by doing something much simpler. They researched properly, bought assets they had conviction in, and then simply allowed their thesis to develop over time. Of course, they still paid attention to the important things. But they weren’t constantly interfering with their positions because BTC had a bad Tuesday. They understood that there are periods when the best thing you can do with an investment is absolutely nothing. And honestly, I think this is particularly relevant to the market we’re experiencing right now. For the past few weeks, BTC has been moving sideways, and every little move seems to completely change people’s expectations. One day everybody is convinced we’re about to break higher. The next day BTC drops a few percent and suddenly the entire timeline starts talking about another bear market. Then BTC bounces and everybody becomes bullish again. How the fuck are you supposed to maintain a clear investment thesis if your opinion changes every time the market prints a couple of candles? Personally, I’m still bullish on BTC and the broader market. Until proven otherwise. Could BTC break some important levels and go significantly lower from here? Of course. And if that happens, I’ll reassess the situation accordingly. But I’m not going to spend every single day stressing over whether the next move is going to be 3% higher or 5% lower. If the market gives me attractive opportunities and I have capital available, I can accumulate more. If it starts moving higher, great. My existing positions appreciate. And if somehow my thesis gets invalidated, I’ll deal with it. That’s all. No need to make this shit more complicated than it already is. And one last thing, because I think it’s important. Investing and trading are two completely different games. When I’m day trading, of course I’m paying attention to the LTF, looking for setups, managing positions, and reacting to PA. That’s literally the job. But when I invest in something with a multi-month or multi-year horizon, why the fuck would I manage that position based on what happens on a 4H chart? It makes absolutely no sense. If you’re investing, give your investments the time they need to develop. Have a plan for accumulating, know what would invalidate your thesis, and most importantly, know how you’re going to take profits when the time comes. Then go focus on something else. Build your business. Make more money. Improve your health. Spend time with the people you love. Do whatever makes your life better. Because, at the end of the day, the whole point of investing is to eventually give yourself more freedom. Not to spend the next five years being mentally enslaved by a fucking portfolio. That’s it. Stop overcomplicating things.

ā€œTake profits, not screenshots.ā€ A lot of you seemed to like this ā€œquoteā€ I shared yesterday, but I want to add some context because I don’t want the message to be misunderstood. First of all, I know it sounds like a meme. But it’s far from that. It’s a simple ā€œtrickā€ that can literally save your ass when the time comes. So take it seriously. Also, let me clarify one thing: I’m not telling you to start taking massive profits right now. That would make absolutely no sense. This was a reminder for the future. Because if we eventually get the insanely bullish phase we’ve been waiting for, things are going to move extremely fast. Some altcoins could reach ridiculous valuations almost overnight. We just saw a glimpse of that with $QNT. And when that starts happening across the broader market, you need to already know what you’re going to do. You need to have a detailed plan. Right now, most of the altcoins on my watchlist are still sitting inside the same accumulation ranges they’ve been trapped in for years (or have barely just broken out of them). Many are still 80%+ below their previous ATHs. So no, I’m not telling you to randomly one-clip your bags at depressed valuations just because they printed a couple of green candles after the apocalypse. I’m simply reminding you to have a plan before you need one. Because most people don’t. They spend months (in this case, even years) researching and accumulating their favorite assets. Then one day, those assets finally go parabolic. Their portfolio starts printing numbers they’ve never seen before. And suddenly, emotions take over and ā€œtake profitsā€ doesn’t even cross their mind. ā€œThis will go higher.ā€ ā€œI’ll sell at the top.ā€ ā€œOne more 2x.ā€ ā€œI’ve waited three years for this PA. Why would I sell now?ā€ Then the music stops. The market turns aggressively. They hesitate. They convince themselves it’ll come back. They keep waiting. And eventually, they round-trip a life-changing amount of unrealized profit. I know because I did exactly that in 2021. I made so much money on paper, so quickly, that I basically became ā€œparalyzedā€ by it. I was too focused on how much more I could make to appreciate how much I had already made. Why take profits now when everything could go higher? Why sell here when I could perfectly time the top? The problem is: You won’t. Almost nobody does. And that’s the lesson I want you to learn from my mistake. If we get the market we’ve been waiting for (currently a lot of signs seem to be pointing in that direction) and your positions start breaking level after level, there is absolutely nothing wrong with selling portions into strength. It doesn’t make you a ā€œpaper hand.ā€ It doesn’t mean you’ve lost conviction. And it doesn’t mean you need to sell everything. You can sell 10% and let 90% run. Sell another portion higher. Recover your initial investment. Take enough out to materially improve your life. Keep a long-term bag untouched. Whatever fits your situation. There is no universal exit strategy. But there should be a strategy. And ideally, you build it before greed, euphoria, and life-changing numbers start influencing your decisions. Then, when the time comes, you execute it no matter what. Because remember why we’re here in the first place. To make money. Until you realize some of those gains, they’re still just pixels on a screen. Your portfolio saying +$10,000, +$20,000, +$50,000 or +$100,000 doesn’t change your life. A screenshot of your portfolio ATH doesn’t change your life. The money you actually take out can. So if the bull market we’ve been waiting for finally comes, enjoy every fucking second of it. Let your winners run. Make a fuck ton of money. Stay exposed to the upside you’ve spent years positioning for. Just don’t become so obsessed with squeezing every last dollar out of the market that you eventually give everything back.

Over the past few days, I’ve received a ridiculous amount of messages from people telling me that I was one of the reasons they originally bought $QNT back in 2019, 2020, 2021, etc. Some of them just made ridicolous money. And honestly, that makes me insanely happy. There’s something special about having conviction in something before the herd sees it, sitting through years where almost nobody gives a fuck, and eventually watching the market recognize what you saw much earlier. That being said, I’m about to say something that some of the hardcore QNT community probably won’t like. I hope you took some fucking profits. Don’t get me wrong: I love QNT. I’ve believed in it for a long time. And yes, I still believe it will reach significantly higher valuations over the coming years. But remember something extremely important: Your profits aren’t really yours until you realize them. QNT just did roughly a 6x in an absurdly short period of time. After a move like that, taking absolutely nothing off the table because you’re convinced QNT will eventually reach $1k, $5k, $10k, $20k, or whatever your long-term target is, in my opinion, isn’t the optimal way to play this game. And I’m saying this partially because I made that exact mistake in 2021. I became so focused on the future that I forgot to capitalize on the present. I made close to a 100x with QNT, and what I actually got out of it was basically peanuts because, in my mind, $400 per QNT was a retarded valuation if compared to its potential. Obviously, QNT today is in a completely different position than it was back then. The ecosystem evolved. The partnerships evolved. The thesis evolved. But the principle remains the same. Don’t become so obsessed with the destination that you refuse to collect anything along the journey. You can believe QNT will eventually reach some ridiculous valuation while simultaneously acknowledging that a 6x, 10x or 15x is life-changing money for many people. Those two ideas aren’t contradictory. That’s why my strategy going forward is extremely simple. I’m mentally dividing my QNT holdings into two buckets. One portion is there to be sold progressively into strength. When QNT makes another insane expansion, I’ll take some profits. If it keeps going, I’ll still have exposure. If it eventually retraces brutally, I already paid myself. The other portion? That’s my forever bag. It sits in cold storage. I don’t care about short-term PA. Hopefully, eventually, the ecosystem allows me to stake it, generate yield from it, or otherwise benefit from holding it over the long term. But I’m not building my entire strategy around some hypothetical future price. This way, I get both sides of the equation. I monetize the thesis when the market rewards me. And I remain exposed if the thesis becomes significantly bigger than I ever imagined. Because ultimately, we didn’t spend years researching, accumulating, holding through drawdowns and watching paint dry just to have a beautiful number on a portfolio tracker. We invested to make money. So enjoy the win. Pay yourself. Keep enough exposure to participate in whatever comes next. And don’t repeat the mistake a lot of us made last cycle by believing that taking profits somehow means losing conviction. It doesn’t. Sometimes, taking profits is simply the reward for having conviction when nobody else did. And again, to everyone who messaged me saying QNT changed their financial situation in some way: I’m genuinely fucking happy for you. But we’re not done. Now it’s time to make even more fucking money.

Absolutely insane. ethereum:0x4a220e6096b25eadb88358cb44068a3248254675 basically 6x’d in a matter of days. But as far as I’m concerned, what we’re seeing right now isn’t the insane part. The insane part was watching it go basically nowhere for five years straight despite what Quant has been building underneath the surface. And the same can be said for a fuck ton of solid projects across this industry. You could look at QNT as an isolated event. ā€œQNT holders got lucky.ā€ ā€œWish I bought that one.ā€ Whatever. And sure, it’s definitely great to be a QNT holder right now. But don’t think for a second that what we’re seeing with QNT can’t eventually be replicated across several other altcoins if market conditions remain favorable. That’s the bigger picture. In my opinion, magic internet money remains one of the few major speculative industries where a lot of assets are still sitting at extremely depressed valuations. There are legitimate giants in this space that have spent the last three to five years doing basically one thing: Going sideways. Or even worse, going down. The real insanity was the price action we had to sit through. Years of bleeding. Then months and months of accumulation at levels nobody cared about; this industry was a ghost-town. Every promising move getting rejected the moment altcoins started showing any strength. And when you zoom out, many of their charts look surprisingly similar. ATH in 2021. Years of decline. A long and painful accumulation around the lows. Nobody cares. Nobody talks about them. Nothing moves. Until one day, something does. QNT is showing you what can happen when price finally escapes one of those structures. And if you look around the market, there are plenty of other major altcoins still building similar bases. Some of them are already starting to show signs of breaking away from those accumulation ranges. That’s why I kept saying: Everything is boring until it isn’t. Accumulation is supposed to feel boring. You buy something you believe is undervalued, and then potentially spend months (or even years) watching absolutely nothing happen. That’s the price you pay for positioning before the move instead of chasing after it. Because once liquidity starts properly flowing back into this market, things can change extremely quickly. QNT just reminded everyone of that. If the market eventually transitions into the second phase of a typical bull cycle (the phase where capital starts rotating further out on the risk curve and altcoins finally begin moving), I don’t think violent repricing across quality projects should surprise anyone. Things would simply be returning to some form of normality. This industry, and especially the altcoin market, spent years trading at depressed valuations while development continued underneath the surface. It almost feels like the same large entities people suspected of suppressing prices while positioning themselves have finished accumulating and are finally ready to flip the full-send switch. That doesn’t guarantee anything. None of this means every altcoin is going to pull a QNT. And it definitely doesn’t mean you should start randomly buying whatever hasn’t pumped yet. Quality still matters. But if liquidity and attention properly return, I genuinely believe QNT could simply be an early example of the violent repricing we may eventually see elsewhere. And if we enter a proper speculative phase, I don’t think it will take particularly long for some of the strongest altcoins to start teleporting toward much higher valuations. That’s when the psychology changes. Prices move. Attention comes back. People who ignored the market for years suddenly rediscover magic internet money. Capital follows attention. And the same assets nobody wanted near the lows become the shiny objects everyone wants after they’ve already moved. Meanwhile, the people who spent the boring months researching, accumulating, and positioning themselves are already sitting exactly where they wanted to be. We’ve spent a long fucking time waiting. Researching. Accumulating. Watching paint dry. GG to everyone who survived the boring part. If you didn’t leave when nobody cared… If you kept researching. Kept accumulating. Kept positioning while everyone else was calling the industry dead… This is exactly what you were positioning for. Now let’s see if the market finally rewards that patience. Things might finally be getting interesting.

You know what’s actually funny? Every day it becomes more and more obvious what MMs have been doing for months. If you still don’t see it, you’re sound asleep. Ask yourself this: How do you extract liquidity from the average trader and crush the conviction of long-term believers at the same time? Simple. You turn price action into psychological warfare. Every extremely violent push up is shortly followed by an equal (or worse) push down. Zoom out and look at BTC over the past 3/4 weeks. What do you see? BARTs. Everywhere. Straight up. Straight down. Again. And again. And again. The latest one happened earlier today. BTC ripped $3/4k in hours. Shorts got liquidated. Hope came back. Then, almost immediately, price retraced straight back to where it started. Late longs destroyed. Everyone emotionally drained. Once again; all by design. And here’s what most people completely miss: Even though MMs are loving doing that right now, this isn’t just about flushing high-leverage gamblers on both sides. This absurd PA is mainly designed to mentally annihilate the last remaining Magic Internet Money believers. Every time they think: ā€œOkay… maybe we’re back,ā€ They get slapped an hour later. Over. And over. And over again. That’s not randomness. That’s design. This is how you shake out even the most stubborn bulls before the next obvious move. They don’t even bother hiding the game anymore. Insane. Here’s what really puts things into perspective: If someone had slept through the last 24 hours and opened the chart right now… BTC would be at the exact same price. The exact. Fucking. Same. Nothing happened. But because most people live on lower timeframes, they felt everything. Up $4k. Down $4k. Confidence destroyed. Sentiment crushed. Even though price went nowhere. That’s the trap. So what do you do? You zoom out. You stop letting intraday noise fry your nervous system. You focus on where this industry is going and on key macro dynamics, not on every 15-minute candle. And before ending the rant, a quick reminder: We’re heading into monthly and yearly closes. Volatility will absolutely be part of the equation. Don’t fall prey to MM mind games. I highly recommend you to spend the next few days as a ā€œPA spectatorā€ and enjoy time with your loved ones instead. Wish you a wonderful start of the week.

Over the years, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat itself. People start businesses. They struggle. They fail once or twice. They quit. They go back to a ā€œnormalā€ life. Same with investing. Same with trading. Same with anything worth doing. And a lot of this comes from the generation we live in. This society glorifies cheap dopamine and instant gratification. Everything has to work fast. Everything has to feel good immediately. They want insane results instantly. But that’s not how any life-changing path works. If you look at history, or if you talk to the most successful people you know, you’ll realize something very simple: They failed more times than most people ever tried. I’m not trying to motivate anyone. I’m just stating reality. Instant gratification is the root cause of most failures you see around you. But there’s another problem, maybe an even bigger one. Most people are trying to make things work for the wrong reasons (aka average IG lifestyle guru). If you want to make money just to buy watches, fast cars, and impress people you don’t even like… At the first real struggle, you’re done. Your vision isn’t deep enough. Your motivation isn’t strong enough. At some point you’ll ask yourself: ā€œWhy the fuck am I struggling this much?ā€ ā€œFor what?ā€ ā€œFor a car?ā€ ā€œFor a watch?ā€ And mediocrity will suddenly feel very comfortable and almost a no-brainer. On the other hand, the people who actually make it all have something in common: They have big goals. Not surface-level goals. Not Instagram goals. Real ones. For me, it’s simple. I want to be free and live life on my own terms. I want my mom and brother to never worry about money and experience the finest things in life. And I want to become the best version of myself so I can take care of my future family the right way. So when things get hard (and they do get hard all the time, it’s just how life works), when I’m tired, frustrated, close to giving up… I pause. I breathe. I think about those goals. And every single time, I get goosebumps. That’s what keeps me going. Because those goals aren’t optional. They’re non-negotiable. For me, it’s not ā€œnice if it happens.ā€ It’s ā€œit has to happen.ā€ Failing isn’t an option, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to look at myself in the mirror. And that gives you a level of stamina most people don’t have. Because you’re not only doing it for yourself. You’re doing it for people you love. People you care about. That’s extra strength. And make no mistake; whether you want to be an entrepreneur, an investor, or a trader… You will go through a fuckton of hardship before things work. If your mindset isn’t right, you won’t survive that phase. So make this a priority going into 2026: Sit down. Write down real goals. And yes, you can have material goals too. ā€œI want a Rolex.ā€ ā€œI want a nice car.ā€ That’s fine. Just don’t build your entire life around shallow goals. Dig deeper. Because only when you dig deeper you tap into real strength. And that’s what separates the ones who make it from the ones who disappear along the way. Wish you a wonderful Sunday.

Yesterday I was in a taxi, on my way to Christmas dinner, casually scrolling X. I wasn’t even looking for content. And then I saw this guy. Absolutely convinced he cracked the code. His thesis? ā€œNobody wants crypto anymore. The old crypto crowd moved to prediction markets and stocks. Crypto is dead. Nobody will ever come back.ā€ And I’m reading this thinking: You have to be completely sleepwalking through life to believe this, but the real comedy is thinking it’s an intelligent take. Let me ask you something. In 2021, during the biggest crypto bull run ever (in terms of global adoption)… why do you think everyone suddenly loved crypto? Was it the tech? The philosophy? The decentralized utopia? Or was it simply because everything was going up like crazy and people dreamed of becoming millionaire instantly? Be honest. Do you think people were buying NFTs because they believed in the ā€œfuture of digital artā€? Or because you could buy any random JPEG and 10x your net worth in two days? Exactly. It’s always the same story: Greed. Speculation. Easy money. Nothing else. Now fast-forward to today. Crypto PA has been nuked for 2–3 years. 95% of the magic internet coins look completely dead. No easy money. No cheap dopamine. So what happens? People get bored. People get tired. People leave. They chase stocks at all-time highs. They chase prediction markets. They chase metals. They chase whatever just pumped. Which is… normal behavior for (allow me the technicism) retards. Because when money isn’t easy anymore, the majority can’t think beyond the next candle. Meanwhile, behind the scenes: Adoption keeps growing. Infrastructure keeps improving. Institutions keep positioning. But retail doesn’t care about that. Retail only cares after the chart goes vertical. Same with stocks. Same with gold. Gold was ā€œboringā€ when you could buy it for a third of today’s price. Now it’s at highs and suddenly it’s: ā€œFinancial freedom. Safe haven. Smart money.ā€ No, you’re just late to the party. You’re not investing. You’re chasing pumps. And guess where you can still position before real liquidity comes and the upside actually happens? Yes. Magic internet money industry. So all these people screaming ā€œcrypto is deadā€ at the bottom? They have zero understanding of capital rotation. Zero understanding of macro & liquidity cycles. Zero understanding of how money actually moves. To conclude this quick Xmas rent: If you want to sell your crypto here to chase stocks or precious metals after the monstrous uptrends they already had, it’s your call. But, in a few months from now, there is a high chance you will regret this decision. So, before letting idiots on X convince you to abandon the most undervalued industry in this time in history, maybe (just maybe) do some research on what crypto can become in the next 5/10 years. Look at the mega-trend behind it. That’s all. Wish you all a wonderful Christmas.

I know how heavy this period feels. I know how violent this price action looks when you’re inside it. Your mind is probably crowded right now: fear, doubt, confusion. And that’s not accidental. This is exactly what ā€œtheyā€ want. They thrive when the average participant can’t think clearly. When emotions take over. When reality gets distorted. You don’t know what comes next. Your brain is searching for certainty. And in that moment, it becomes easy to manipulate. That’s the game. But here’s the truth most people miss: Reality is not as broken as your emotions are telling you it is. Reality is not as broken as they want you to believe. It would take you two minutes to look at the full picture — the data, the structure (two charts I shared), the macro environment, to clearly see that. What you are seeing is a masterpiece of a smoke screen, perfectly orchestrated by wolves to get the most from what’s ahead. That’s how liquidity is harvested. That’s how the average participant gets annihilated. When price moves don’t make sense, it’s usually because they’re not designed to make sense; they’re designed to condition behavior. Panic. Capitulation. Disbelief. Exit. And then, once most people are no longer around, continuation. How to see through their lies and manipulation? When your mind starts spiraling, there’s only one move that actually works: Zoom out. Detach from the noise. Look at the data. Look at structure. Look at context. I’ve been in your shoes more times than I can count. I’ve felt exactly what many of you are feeling now. And every single time, the moment it felt the worst, was when the manipulation was working best (now). Leaving the market and "move on" always seemed like the best option. And every single time, in hindsight, it would have been a giant mistake. i'm not here to convince you, of course. You are free to do whatever you want. Just remember: Markets don’t usually reward those who react to fear. They reward those who can see through itšŸ„€

Over the past few months I’ve been noticing a phenomenon that honestly pisses me off. This new wave of ā€œday trading gurusā€ (especially on TikTok and Instagram) purposely brainwashing young people into thinking that trading is the easiest career path in the world. Open those apps and what do you see? Supercars. First-class flights. Luxury hotels. Designer clothes. All presented as if they were funded by ā€œsimple day trading strategiesā€ and a couple of squiggly lines on a chart. And they want you to believe that’s the path. That with some ā€œsolid hard workā€ and their $997 mentorship, you’ll consistently beat the market and reach financial freedom. Absolute delusion. Because if you dig even 2 centimeters below the surface, you quickly realize something: 95% of the money these people make doesn’t come from trading. It comes from selling you something. Courses, mentorships, signals, whatever. And if you dig a little deeper, you’ll see their entire ā€œmentorshipā€ is 90% technical analysis. Why? Because the average person thinks TA is the missing piece. They think learning patterns, indicators, and magic lines will turn them into the greatest trader alive. They completely ignore the fact that TA is like 10% of the game. The other 90% is psychology, discipline, emotional control, experience, self-awareness, risk management… Stuff you can’t learn from a 3-hour video course. Stuff you only learn by getting punched in the face by the market repeatedly. That’s why it genuinely makes me sad to see young people fall for this scam. They’re being sold a dream by people who don’t even trade. And you know what’s even crazier? Even in crypto, you have people pushing this narrative that day trading is somehow easier than long-term investing. Which is a fucking joke. I was watching an interview of @RaoulGMI recently, and he said something that stuck with me: In decades of his career, he hasn’t seen many successful traders. But every single multi-millionaire and billionaire he knows made their money by riding long-term trends — not scalping 5-minute candles. Read that again. The big money is in mega-trends. Not micro-moves. And what are the two biggest mega-trends of our days? AI and Crypto. That’s where you should focus all your effort and allocate the majority of your capital if you want to have the best chance to multiply your wealth. Day trading should be a small portion of your portfolio — a tool to maybe outperform short-term, stack some extra cash, and then throw that money into long-term positions. But don’t ever fool yourself into thinking day trading is ā€œeasyā€. So let me leave you with this: Forget the yappers. Forget the shortcuts. Forget the ā€œthree-month trader to millionaireā€ bullshit. Look at what actually made people wealthy in this space: People who understood Bitcoin early. People who positioned themselves in Ethereum before the herd. People who accumulated quality alts before the narrative caught fire. People who rode cycles, not 5-minute candles. That’s where the life-changing money has always been made. And that’s where it will always be made. Your job is simple: Pick the right trends. Position early. Survive the volatility. Let liquidity do its magic. That’s it. Everything else is noise designed to extract liquidity from the impatient. In this market, the ones who get rich aren’t the hyperactive scalpers. They’re the ones who stay sane during chaos, hold conviction when everyone else capitulates, and wait for that small window at the end of the cycle where everything goes vertical. That tiny window pays for the entire journey. So, all you have to do is: Stay aligned with the megatrends. Play them right and you’ll never need a fake trading guru in your life. Get rich slowly. Get rich silently. And let the idiots keep selling dreams while you collect reality šŸ„€

ā€œBro, why are you so calm with all the madness that’s been happening?ā€ To be honest, there were moments where I also got a little emotional. The October flash crash, for example. That was insane. But for the most part, I’ve been chilling for one reason: I’m playing a completely different game compared to most people. Average person: ā€œMy bags haven’t moved much in two years. I’m doomed. Crypto is a scam.ā€ Me: ā€œMy bags haven’t moved much in two years, but I know they will. Let’s keep building.ā€ Once you understand macro cycles, everything becomes crystal clear. The main problem is that most people overcomplicate things. My investment principle is simple: I want to be in the market when the last euphoric phase comes. Because that’s when the majority of money is made in that tiny window at the end of the cycle. That’s it. What happens in between doesn’t concern me. If the market goes up, fine. If the market goes down, ā€œoh, another opportunity.ā€ So what have I been doing these past few years? Alternating between chilling (when my favorite coins were too high) and accumulating (every time there was a crash). And honestly (if you invest in solid coins), that’s all you need to make a crazy ROI. I’ve seen 2017. I’ve seen 2021. And despite my mistakes, I was extremely successful in both runs. Also, my portfolio back then was a fraction of what it is now. So my thought process was simple: If I made that kind of money then, what kind of money will I make this run if history repeats itself? Or even just rhymes with the past two cycles? That’s the only question I’ve been asking myself. And I know it’s going to be that easy. All I have to do is sit on my ass and let liquidity do the rest. Because the deeper I look, the more everything keeps pointing toward the same pattern we’ve seen before. So why would I stress? Why would I overcomplicate things? I’m focusing elsewhere. I’m making money elsewhere. And since I invested properly, with a plan and risk management, I don’t need the money tomorrow. I don’t need income from my portfolio to survive. I just know it’s going to be a hefty bonus in the coming months. That’s why I’m calm. That’s why, on every dip, I buy more of my high-conviction plays. I’m not like the average person who sells in panic. I’m slowly accumulating. That’s how you play the macro cycle. Study. That’s all you have to do. As the late Charlie Munger said: ā€œThe big money is not in the buying and the selling, but in the waiting.ā€ And that’s where most people fail, the waiting phase. Don’t be like most people. Follow the clues š“‚€
