Just learned a buddy had been buying $200 worth of $ETH/week since 2018, ~$40k to date. He cut $800 monthly expense to do this by cooking, biking to work, cancelling subs, reducing frivolous spend, etc. His stack is now ~$250k. He hasn't sold yet & intends to keep going. Respect.

At this time I have confirmed that it was a Google login that caused this compromise. An unknown Windows machine gained access about half a day before the attack. It also spoofed the device name, so the notification of the new activity alert

@NunoClara_
This is also why in trading algorithms are designed to identify where clusters of stop losses are which tend to be right under round or “nice” numbers and “attack” those positions by selling/shorting into them and trigger cascading stops to then profit then buy lower.
Update on the hack theft and additional opsec lessons learned:
I have now further confirmed the 2FA bypass attack vector was a man in the middle attack. I had received an email from Indeed job search platform informing me that they received a request to delete my account within

Total compromise appears to be about $800k. I suspect this was a Google chrome compromise containing a possible keylogger targeting specific wallet extension apps (either due to a Chrome vulnerability due to me delaying regular updates or getting malware that wasn't detected by
See, the thing with $SOL defi right now is that cash grabbers can’t easily fork shitty EVM clones onto it and are forced to actually develop something useful from scratch. Way less noise. This will be literally Defi 1.0 all over again so get a

The coin I've been adding over the past several days is $SEI, which I briefly mentioned before.
I'm very bullish on this specialty L1 (Cosmos SDK, Rust coded, future EVM compatible) and I think it could go on a big run if the market keeps rallying like this. Here's why.

So we’re ok with the other candidate who got us into two new geopolitical armed conflicts, failure to stamp down dramatic inflation in four years, inability to defuse tensions with the largest economic rival, obscenely expensive unlivable housing, and a perpetual migrant crisis?
I DCA'd more $MATIC @ $1.33. While folks are distracted w/other networks, this
@coinbase
post flew under the radar:
"we plan to integrate Polygon as our first scaling solution"
A fiat on-ramp CEX enabling ERC20 token withdrawals directly via $MATIC has serious bullish effects.
They say breaking $1M is extremely hard. This is attributed to a few factors:
-$1m is still alot, so folks become lazy & don't research or put in as much work/DD
-U get reckless & re-invest/overexpose too quickly
-U prematurely spend more on lifestyle
-U are still holding $SUSHI
The system will never be equal. Some of u will have to work harder than others. Poverty is 80% mindset.
The hungriest spend sleepless nights learning, researching, networking, & improving. The type that'll say "how do I afford it" over "I can't afford it".
That should be you.

The last 10 days have been a wild ride for me after launching $SEIYAN token. Here are some things I learned:
-There are ton of smart people building things on $SEI, more than I thought
-Sei is resilient to short term market downturns because of collective bullish confidence in
After 3 months of my entry into the
@SeiNetwork
ecosystem and engaging with the team throughout my journey, here's what I think about them so far:
The $SEI team is well organized and extremely engaged with the community, & fosters enormous amounts of networking and building.
imo it takes 3 bull cycles to really build wealth in crypto
-1st is wen u give it all back
-2nd is wen u preserve some
-3rd is wen u have some $ now that you're ok to miss out & wait for ez mode, leading to less noise + natural wealth preservation, a learned skill of intuition

Seeing people talking about frontrunning $1 $SEI target now
$SEI mindshare consensus and escape velocity are occurring before EVM parallelization is in place

Think bigger
The mkt appetite is clearly for newer coins that never went thru the 2021 bull. Coins born in the bear have shown favorability for higher ROI as shown by the likes of $TIA & $TAO. Likely less downside due to narrative confluence. The timing for a $SEI run is perfect.

Crypto macro bull, a thread 1/16
I've been through the cycles since '13; time & time again we've been brutally shaken out during bullruns on what seemed to be end-all doomsday news. Yet what seemed to be an experimental fad has evolved into what is now a mainstream powerhouse.
0.4% $MATIC remaining on all exchanges. LESS THAN A PERCENT.
Sell side liquidity crisis. Just like $ETH defi when all the ETH got locked into farms and price soon mooned.
If we buy all the supply up and withdraw on chain then we force exchanges to buy back higher, right guys?
In Dec I impulsively created the $SEIYAN token for fun
After launch I got called a rugpuller, was wished cancer & death etc
Today the project has built numerous tools for the Sei ecosystem + became the 1st Sei token to be listed on CEXs
We really did meme our way into utility

His reply was "either I was basically paying to get healthier or maybe I'd make $ in the process"
You may have heard about EVM parallelization as a hot narrative on $SEI but may seem too technical. Here's what it means in plain english:
-EVM + Metamask support (ie, solidity based contracts)
-Super fast TPS due to simultaneous tx's instead of sequentially like other chains

2. Get out
Most folks who become temp millionaires will fail to keep their profits, not cuz they didn't sell or held to the ground, but cuz their greed bought an 80% dip during a true market reversal, only for it to go down another 90%. So pay yourself small profits on the way & lock it in.
Apparently the China FUD is very serious after asking around my contacts at funds & CEXs. Miners got very spooked & unloaded a lot on multiple CEXs. At the same time heavy cash bids have been soaking up the dump, with $BTC exchange outflows. A big transfer of wealth is occurring.

I traded in & out last cycle of many coins but realized my best performers all had info asymmetry. Being hyperfocused on just 1 or 2 tokens allows you to remove distractions & know what's happening at a deeper level thru networking & compounding effects. Bet harder.

ONE OF
EVM-compatible $MATIC is severely undervalued w/huge upside. Reasons:
1. Major fiat onramp CEX backing (Coinbase)
2.
@0xpolygon
TVL is 3rd, behind $ETH and
#BSC
3. $ETH gas congestion
4.
#BSC
has pseudo centralized reputation
This makes $MATIC the next obvious
#defi
choice.
$ETH is useless for direct defi'ing atm. It's now a valuable foundation layer but useless for Uniswapping til they solve gas problems. Liquidity farming/optimizing/arb'ing is impossible unless you're moving huge stacks by whales/funds.
For this reason, mega bullish on $MATIC.
my thesis for the bull market is simple
2024 is year of the dragon
dragon is pronounced 'long' in chinese
thus it is the year of the long
therefore china needs to bid in order to save face or else bring dishonor to their families

In late '17 I discovered margin trading
I didn't get how it worked & went 10X with 15 $BTC

Then an OG margin trader told me I had to lower leverage so I went 5x. I reduced size & risk, scanned fundamentals, used better indicators. Then I got liquidated
2 days ago a reliable source told me big funds already full-exited $BTC into USD @ ~60k. I ignored it, thinking we'd have more time, as my other intel projects 6 digits by EOY. My take is a correction has started like mid-'17, when folks think it's over b4 a mega final exit pump.
Each morning I say my ritual affirmations to myself:
-You have a wealthy mindset & attract wealth
-Money is good cuz you use it for good
-You provide value to others
-You deserve to be rich
-You're grateful for wealth
-You allow wealth to flow into your life
-Buy the fucking dip

Market psychology basics 1/3
Resistance is the max point at which greed becomes fear. As price moves towards resistance, sellers are more likely to sell & buyers less likely to buy. This historical block is also a prior group of short entries & thus often their stop loss point.
$SEI unconfirmed weekly in the works looks like a god candle is coming
Strong chance of daily forming its third GMMA trend support bounce
Typical Jump mm pattern in bula
I started crypto in my 20s. In a few years I’ll be hitting 40. In hindsight I reached financial freedom cuz I took risks early. Time is scarce & increasingly valuable the older u get. In youth u can afford long term investments & recover from setbacks. Risk more+often wen young.
Here's how most of
#defi
works
1. Lurk fave CT influencers
2. Learn of 5 billion APY%
3. Buy a shitcoin & LP it
4. Print mega yields
5. Hold until whale dump
6. Watch your underlying coin dump -80%
7. Tweet about how great farm is while hoping for recovery
8. Capitulate LP
🤝
Did I make lots of money this run? Yes
Did I apply some knowledge learned from 2017-18 experience? Yes
Am I going to buy a bargain dip at some point? Yes
Am I going to hold it down another -80%? Also yes
