This millionaire trader just revealed how he uses fomo app to find coins and what he checks before he buys.
"I go through the feed first, then I see the theses. I'd probably take a 400K market cap, because I can swing from 400 to 900K to make a quick buck."
"I do minimum 100 transactions, then volume ratios as well."
"Every coin has an initial pump and it dumps. There's usually a second wave that I try to pick up."
"I'd check the Twitter just for safety, to make sure it's actually a real Claude AI token."

This millionaire trader reveals the signals he watches before getting into the crypto market.
His first move is tracking whale activity to spot when big money starts flowing in, then watching Solana for signs of a wider market move.
"I have alerts for whales. When big money starts coming into crypto, like big mints, that's when I see the market starting to move up."
"If Solana starts pumping, then I'll start looking down at the smaller coins too."

This millionaire trader says if he lost it all tomorrow, he wouldn't go back to crypto. He'd start a marketing agency.
"I wouldn't go back to crypto right now because there's not a lot of volume."
"I'd start a social media marketing agency, just because I have connections and it's easy money to flip."

Maurits says LinkedIn hiring is dead, because your socials are now your resume.
"People's socials are their CV. When I go to hire an editor or an assistant, I look at their socials."
"How am I going to hire an editor who can't get any views for himself?"
"If you're going to hire a CMO that has 12 followers and follows three people, what do you know?"
"I would much rather hire someone that understands the algorithms and has done a good job."

insentos says if you're starting memcoins trading with $1,000, the best thing to do, is to not trade at all. Study every day and wait for the one play that's almost guaranteed.
"If I had a thousand dollar port, I wouldn't trade at all and just study and wait for that PVE kind of guaranteed play."
"The last thing you want to do is get zeroed out and not be able to trade."
"Picture you've been studying for a year and you see Ansem launch a coin. Anyone with a gun to their head would bet this is going above 100 million, and you enter at 20, 30, 40 million."
"If I'm a new trader with a thousand dollars, I'm just waiting for a PVE narrative and studying every single day. There's always going to be another one."

Maurits says there's more people trading forex than crypto, even when forex is the worst thing to trade.
"There are still more people trading forex than there are people trading crypto. Forex is the worst thing ever to trade."
"You're trading against central banks and Apple, who sells phones in Japan. They're going to have the best algos. You're just going to get absolutely cooked."
"In crypto you can hit 1000x, 10,000x. It's much more exciting."

Maurits says people think his life is nonstop trip to, Japan, Monaco, etc, but a normal day he’s on his laptop, calls and bed.
"It's boring to film my everyday life. I just sit in the office in front of my laptop and I'm on calls. Then I go to bed."
"They'll see the vlog, 400K in Japan or 500K in Monaco, and it looks like this crazy spectacle."
"I think it's had its time under the sun, and I don't find as much enjoyment from it now."

"Step one of winning is surviving… then the next step is getting Ethereum actually used at a much higher scale." - @VitalikButerin
Vitalik says @ethereum is making sure it is fully secure against quantum computers and AI, so it can scale into prediction markets, decentralized social, identity and DAOs.
He also says private transactions that cost more than 300,000 gas today will get much cheaper and become quantum safe.
I asked him about the next decade of Ethereum.
> What used to be hard or expensive on Ethereum that will become easy and cheap in the next 18 to 24 months?
> What becomes newly practical for users and builders over the next 3 to 5 years of lean Ethereum?
> What does winning look like for Ethereum in the next decade, and what early signals would show it?
> How does Ethereum's edge with institutions compound as more assets move on-chain?

Im not a big poetry guy, but this poem has done a lot for me through out my life.
give it a read
Carry On by Robert W Service (1916)
It’s easy to fight when everything’s right,
And you’re mad with the thrill and the glory.
It’s easy to cheer when victory’s near,
And wallow in fields that are gory.
It’s a different song when everything’s wrong,
When you’re feeling infernally mortal.
When it’s ten against one and hope there is none,
Buck up little soldier and chortle!
Carry on! Carry on!
There isn’t much punch in your blow.
You’re glaring and staring and hitting out blind.
You’re muddy and bloody but never you mind.
Carry on! Carry on!
You haven’t the ghost of a show.
It’s looking like death but while you’ve a breath,
Carry on my son! Carry on!
And so in the strife of the battle of life,
It’s easy to fight when you’re winning.
It’s easy to slave and starve and be brave,
When the dawn of success is beginning.
But the man who can meet despair and defeat,
With a cheer there’s the man of God’s choosing.
The man who can fight to Heaven’s own height,
Is the man who can fight when he’s losing.
Carry on! Carry on!
Things never were looming so black.
But show that you haven’t a cowardly streak,
And though you’re unlucky you never are weak.
Carry on! Carry on!
Brace up for another attack.
It’s looking like hell but you never can tell.
Carry on old man! Carry on!
There are some who drift out in the deserts of doubt,
And some who in brutishness wallow.
There are others I know who in piety go,
Because of a Heaven to follow.
But to labour with zest and to give of your best,
For the sweetness and joy of the giving.
To help folks along with a hand and a song,
Why there’s the real sunshine of living.
Carry on! Carry on!
Fight the good fight and true.
Believe in your mission, greet life with a cheer.
There’s big work to do and that’s why you are here.
Carry on! Carry on!
Let the world be the better for you.
And at last when you die, let this be your cry.
CARRY ON MY SOUL! CARRY ON!

Maurits says that if crypto disappeared tomorrow, he'd lose his money, his connections and his brand all at once.
"My whole life is exposed to crypto through content, through the nature of my work, through deal flow. So I'm already basically all in."
"If this crypto thing disappears tomorrow, which I think is a 1% chance, not only is my capital gone, but my connections and my brand are also worthless."
"In a bear market, as a creator or as a company, you're just worth less than you are in a bull."

fomo co-founder Paul reveals how he and Seyong split work at fomo: Seyong handles user acquisition, and Paul handles brand building.
"Every day there's emergencies and we're both just grabbing as much as we can."
"On go to market, Seyong is more focused on user acquisition, and I'm a lot more focused on brand building."
"I come from a perspective that's more empathy with a normal user, where Seyong has more empathy with the trader."

Maurits says people on X are way richer than people on Instagram, and his 350K Instagram followers aren't worth 1% of his X audience.
"The quality of people on Twitter is crazy."
"I guarantee you I've got 50k accounts on X worth 100 times the net worth of my 350K Instagram followers."
