i daily traded for 8 months, from trenches to leverage and ended up losing most of my port
the truth is: 99% of people shouldn’t trade. the day i quit was the day i started making real money
holding spot, enjoying life, and sizing into a few real opportunities is best decision I’ve ever made.
knowing your game is the real skill in this space

you can spend 10 hours a day for months studying narratives, deployers, wallets, bundles, timing, etc. and still get it wrong, because you’re not just trying to predict if a coin is good, you’re trying to predict if enough capital and attention will decide to make it good.
there are basically two different games:
- narrative discovery: is this actually interesting?
- game theory: will wallets, insiders, KOLs or the market push it right now?
also the market doesn’t always reward quality, it rewards attention + liquidity + coordination + timing.
that’s why you can find a genuinely good coin sitting at 30k while some random stuff gets pushed to millions
imo knowing what’s good is only half the game and knowing what the market is going to care about is the other half
I think the hardest thing to do when you trade new pairs is to take the right decision at the right time. You have to be a 250 IQ guy to know exactly what coin to buy, at what price, and understand its ceiling. You also have to check if it’s larp or no, the deployer wallet, the deployer funder, the bundles, the strength of the narrative, if it’s been done before, if it’s viral etc…
All of this, within literally seconds
one of the most crazy things about crypto is that a life changing opportunity can be just a few clicks away from where you’re right now
if you’ve been around long enough, chances are you’ve had moments where you came insanely close to making it big
the opportunities might be less obvious now than they were in the early days, but they haven’t disappeared, and even in the past year there have still been plenty of chances to catch a big W
sure it’ll probably get even more competitive and harder to find those gems over time as more people enter the space, but as long as they’re still out there i’ll keep showing up and putting the work no matter what
you have to be hungry enough to make it happen and that’s the fun part about crypto. you never know when your moment will come or if it ever will, but you’ll never catch a wave you’re not around for

i was working 8 hours making $60 a day a year ago
started compounding few wins, stacking up the port, i remember 1 sol a day was huge for me
you will never find your way to make it by watching others people wins, the hardest thing is to manage the emotions and not fomo into things or panic sell good bags
you don't need a crazy amount of money to find your way to be free and keep pushing forward

took drugs and drank until I was 26, then i left everything behind friends included and literally went dark
started investing in 2023 thanks to a guy who told me about nfts/crypto (he blocked me cause i understood after months he was scamming everyone in the community)
btw i made my first good amount money (i had nothing started with 5k) then i lost everything in jan 2024 when memecoins started taking off
made it all back and more by mid 2024, lost everything again in early 2025
ended up in an nft community where we were constantly told that trading memes was stupid and shit like that, all this kinda stuff, looking back it was basically brainwashing
left everything, came back by myself alone and still grinding today my way up, still showing up and do the work
i’ve made pretty much every mistake you can make on chain but shit happens, you learn, you adapt, you have to keep going
before this i did a shit job for 10 years, i know one thing for sure i’ll never go back to working for someone else
i know the pain when you have nothing and you don’t even want to wake up, and i know what it feels when you want something so bad that you can’t even sleep
nobody is really coming to save you and you will never be lucky somehow/somewhere, you have to work harder than others and believe in yourself
you can lose everything and still start again, just don’t quit

rasmr can lie everyday about insider trading because it’s reached a point his nose can’t physically grow any larger
nothing is better than growing up, you stop giving a fuck about the things you can't control and everything starts falling into place
cut the noise, work for yourself, and make shit happens for the people around you
nobody cares just do the work and start winning.
best advice to those who are trenching right now is being extremely patience, specially if you joined the past months with good volume, being patience is low key the best thing you should practice right now
if you can keep showing up every day, putting in the work, and refusing to give up, you deserve everything that’s coming your way
the market will always create opportunities for those who keep grinding, growing their skills and learn from their mistakes and getting better every damn day
do not rush the process or convince yourself that you have to win today, focus on staying in the game long enough until winning becomes inevitable
winners will always win.
everything happens for a reason even when it doesn’t seem that way, sometimes we just have to learn to let things go and make room for something new. there’s never really an empty space, just room for something we haven’t discovered yet
there’s no need to wait for life to begin making sense. just live and embrace the uncertainty, also trust that some things will find their way to you when you least expect them to
everything is hard in the beginning
going to the gym when you have no time
trading when you keep losing
developing yourself when you lack skills
you have to force yourself to show up because you can't see the bugger picture yet, but stay consistent for a few months and something changes
everything becomes a habit, it gets exciting and suddenly becomes addictive
eventually you’re no longer forcing yourself to do it but you enjoy all the ups and downs that come with it
just start doing things and stop waiting for something that will never happen, momentum always comes later
thinking you need one big win to make things work is a huge psyop
you don’t need a massive breakthrough to change your situation, most people are working a 9/5 for $2k a month or even less. if you can make $100 or $200 a day consistently that already changes everything
stop waiting for the one big win and keep accumulating small wins, nothing is more important than showing up every day and letting everything compound
at first everything is new, it's when u see people making money from left and right and think "oh maybe I can do this too"
then reality hits, you lose some money and suddenly it becomes more of a mental game than anything else
you start thinking “i can’t afford to lose more” or overthinking every trade, that’s usually when people give up
once you get through that phase and you actually start learning from what you're doing and slowly build a portfolio, everything changes and you start seeing the bigger picture
you just gotta enjoy the process, keep learning and keep going. if you really like this you’ll find a way to make it work
there will always be opportunities.
maybe there will be fewer or maybe over time it won’t be possible to make life changing money just a week after you enter this space cause the bar is higher everyday
but imo the most important part is that if you keep showing up and learning, accumulating knowledge and experience, you become better not just at recognizing patterns but also at understanding how different traders behave and how the whole space works around it
always be optimistic and stay in the game as long as possible, you don’t need to catch every opportunity you just need to keep yourself alive long enough to catch the right one
sometimes the best trade is no trade
specially when market gets chaotic, new coins spawns everywhere and volume is crazy
you can def make money but also that’s when you start chasing every move because you don’t wanna miss the next runners
sometimes you just have to watch and stay out if you don’t have enough money to risk, capital preservation is key and you will understand it in a way or another
there will always be another cook
crypto has always had this strange ability to make the impossible feel surprisingly close
you can spend months watching nothing happen and then suddenly find yourself in the middle of an opportunity you never saw coming
most of the time it won’t work, sometimes you’ll miss it and sometimes you’ll be too early, too late, or simply not pay enough attention, but every now and then something actually hits
not the belief that every opportunity will make you rich but the fact that the next one could be hiding just few clicks away from you it’s something you can find only here
you just have to be around to find it
