If you aren’t getting happier as you get older, you’re doing it wrong.

the penalty for being average has never been so severe, but the payout for being extraordinary has never been higher.

Remember, 3 days of blood before the bounce play. Golden rule of crypto since 2013

TBH crypto (both onchain and CEX) is really incredible. I've been here for 4 years, and every year there is at least 1 opportunity for one to make 7 figures in a trade. You might think that's shitty, but that basically means that every year, there is at least a 10x - 1,000x ROI (although 1,000x'es are so rare now) And of course, this means that there are countless opps to 2-10x your returns. You don't always need a 1,000x, just a good 3x on size. The other underrated point is that you really can't find it in any other market in the world. The returns + ease of accessibility - in stocks, maybe there's a 1,000x, but maybe it's some god forsaken random non-US market, or in a penny stock you've never heard of. But in crypto, everyone kinda knows what's happening, and just all participates in it together. AI agents? Lets all play in it. Memes? Yea sure. GPU Coins? Send it. Dog coins? Cat coins? The list goes on And the most beautiful part is - Every year I think on-chain is dead, CEX alts is dead, but somehow there is always money coming in. It obviously has shown that it will never fully die. Like a pheonix, it gets reborn again and again Personally, I have found that what works for me is just enjoying. Staying in the game. It matters not that you missed the 1,000x now. I think I've been here 4 years and I have less than 10% catch rate on these "insane trades" - didn't catch PEPE, didn't catch WIF, didn't catch Aster, didn't catch.... I try not to let it get to me. I will probably miss the next one, it doesn't matter. The truth is, again - I just need a 2-3x on size. 50% YoY returns, over 10 years, is a 57x. Some times I get lucky (Solana at 22, Node monkes at .1, ai16z at 200m, zerebro at 20m, cards at 80m) and hit something more than a 2x. But otherwise, fomo is the mind killer. Always try to be content with what you have. And just optimize for returns over a longer period of time, rather than in short sprints. It's a marathon, after all

How to Get Rich (without getting lucky):

This remains true. Goal is to compound. • Compound 3-5x > gamble/obsess with 100x’s • Asset selection > spray and pray • Timing > hope || timing = flows = f(catalysts) • Wealth = marathon ; wealth ≠ sprint • Mental peace = "save the game" behavior = build good habits

The only real test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life.

@szanarchi Props for the elegant scam

Master the art of moving on Constantly checking a coin's price after you sell is going to cause you to FOMO back in Avoid the following pattern: 1 - Selling for profit 2 - Watching it pump after you sell (regret) 3 - Top blasting because you're emotional 4 - Selling for a loss in the end Once you take profits, shift your focus to the next opportunity and avoid looking back Stay disciplined, emotions have no place in trading
