If this is your first cycle: Set a $ goal and make list of what you gonna do with the money. Once you hit it, get out and do exactly what you planned to do. You are not a genius investor/trader. You just got lucky and most likely will give it all back. Almost all of us did.

How to get rich in crypto with no money: 1) Post on Twitter 2) Farm Airdrops and document 3) Pick up an intern job and save 4) Re-invest in your farm and buy low caps The new class of crypto bros don't know how easy they have it now. Back then, we didn't have this luxury.

This rally is another example of how important it is to stay connected to the market during ogre times. Sentiment shifted so fast, similar to the start of 2023. During those shifts, the best EV is to deploy fast and size up immediately, then try your best not to paper hand.

Be market neutral: There are times when it makes sense to place directional bets. But most of the time, it's better to be market neutral. Long the strong coins and short the weak ones. I can't emphasize how much more stable your profits will get by doing this.

@TheDegen_TradeX Your timeline is your CV. I suggest you start sharing your ideas and trades, so others see you will not just suck alpha from them without anything in return.

Friendly reminder to set some profit targets before it's too late. The deeper we’re into the cycle, the more ridiculous your targets will become. Do it while your expectations are still reasonable. Then follow through with it. Don't fall victim to the “just a 2x from here”
