Take notes for the final phase of this bull market 1/ Don’t DCA in. Dollar-cost-averaging works early in a cycle. At the end, time is against you. If you’re late, you need conviction bets. 2/ DCA out. On the way up, scale out. Don’t dream about selling the exact top — nobody times it perfectly. Secure wins instead. 3/ Focus on winners. Cut dead weight. Don’t waste emotional energy on bags that never recovered. Winners compound. Losers drain you. 4/ Don’t lock tokens. Staking rewards look good until your tokens are stuck while the bull ends. Flexibility is worth far more than a few extra percent of yield. Liquidity is freedom. 5/ Rotate less. This late in the game, chasing every narrative leads to overtrading. Sit on your hands. You can’t catch them all. Accept missing some. 6/ This is a marathon, not a sprint. The people who make life-changing gains are the ones who preserve capital into the next cycle. Survive first. Wealth is built over multiple cycles. 7/ Don’t baghold exit coins. When it’s time to leave, don’t wait for tokens that “didn’t pump yet.” Some coins never pump again. Hope is not a strategy. 8/ Cash out regularly. Don’t wait for “the big exit.” Take profits steadily. Build trust with your bank — you’ll need them for bigger moves outside of crypto. 9/ Concentrate your bets. Over-diversification kills upside. A 100x on $5 won’t change your life. Position sizing matters. Focus on high-conviction plays. 10/ Remember volatility. Near the top, swings are violent. Don’t let green candles make you greedy or red candles shake you out. Stick to your plan. 11/ Narratives move fast. AI, gaming, RWA, memecoins — narratives rotate weekly. Don’t chase them all. Stick to a few strong themes and ride them with discipline. 12/ Think outside crypto. Use this cycle to set up for the next phase of your life. Real estate, businesses, equities — crypto should fund your future, not be your only future. 13/ Know when enough is enough. Greed kills more than fear. Have a number where you’ll say “I made it” and commit to it. 14/ This isn’t your last shot. Cycles repeat. If you miss this one, there will be another. Stay liquid, stay disciplined, stay alive. 15/ The bull makes you rich. The bear keeps you rich. Don’t blow it all just because the market feels invincible right now. Discipline is more powerful than luck. Let’s make the best out of it🫡

1/ I started tweeting this account about 2 years ago when SOL was at 30$ with less than 100 followers. Now, 2 years in, I've crossed 32k followers. after 2 years, around the same time, with potential UP-quarter I figured it’s a good time to write this thread — about how my trading style evolved from scalping to MTF positioning, and why two principles changed everything: Fold Pre & Pocket Ace. (feat. @thiccyth0t ) 2/ The Fold Pre Principle is simple. You shouldn’t have taken that trade in the first place. Low conviction positions destroy more accounts than bad entries ever will. The smartest move? Don’t enter low-conviction setups at all. 3/ This applies to life too. Jobs we hate but can’t quit. Relationships we’ve outgrown but hold onto. Dead trades we keep averaging down. Ask yourself: “If I could walk away today, free of cost, would I re-enter this position?” If not — fold pre. 4/ Markets evolved. Short-term trades are now mostly noise. Charts alone won’t show you the real upside anymore. Macro drives most of the flow now, and that’s what I began to focus on — ignoring the noise, and spending real time on research + positioning. 5/ I started just like many of you — BitMEX scalps, leaderboard runs, dopamine loops. But slowly, I changed. Because true edge started to show only on higher timeframe setups with asymmetrical reward. Scalping can’t give you life balance. Big trades can. 6/ There are many ways to make money. Airdrops, farming, funding, degen longs, sniper entries. But in the end — It’s what you do when your Pocket Aces show up that defines you. 7/ And Pocket Aces don’t come often. It’s your job to recognize them — – When fundamentals + positioning + catalysts align. – When you feel it in your gut and your spreadsheet. – When the only thing left is to size in and execute. 8/ That’s how I treat my trading now. Not as a trade. But as an investment. If the opportunity doesn’t align with a clear narrative or conviction — I skip it. If it does, I size in. Simple. 9/ Everyone has different edges. Some people are great at scalping. Some at hunting airdrops. Some at L1 narratives, farming or option flow. Don’t copy others. Just know your Pocket Aces. And when they come, bet like your life depends on it. 10/ Fold Pre is the art of restraint. Pocket Ace is the art of commitment. Both require experience. Both require pain. But if you can master just these two — You’ll not only survive this market. You’ll win. 11/ It looks like we’ll need to enter positions ourselves before mid-month. Keep it simple: → Focus on a few key narratives → Don’t over-complicate → Don’t over-trade → Have conviction in the bet you chose, researched, and verified. Believe in yourself. Keep some cash on the side for new narratives. Time to lock in.

@hpatel @_SEAL_Org @trmlabs @CFInvestigators damn i also got drained across hyperliquid and evm chains about 2-3 weeks ago. no idea how it happened but they got control of my hot wallet and transfered out everything. as far as i can tell with mine it was likely a chrome extension.

Hey all, My hot wallet was drained across Hyperliquid and EVM chains for millions on 27th Sep. I’m in touch with the FBI, USSS, @_SEAL_Org, @trmlabs, @CFInvestigators, and major exchanges who are now all aware of the stolen assets, their locations & movements (address ending in dHjFY). All are taking the investigation seriously. All have been incredibly responsive. Thank you. I’d be happy to pay a bounty to whitehats or anyone with onchain or IRL information that leads to the recovery of the assets. Please DM me for details 🙏. To the attacker: if you return 80% of the funds, all law enforcement, legal and exchange action will be dropped immediately, and you can keep the remaining 20% as a legitimate whitehat bounty that can be legally offramped and spent. Return 80% here: 2evt4TTjHw6BZjnaaq3UcSnmBrqzJjJnTsWi65yYpLbT Thanks to the @_SEAL_Org members for their first-hand response and initial guidance.

Risking half your stack on every trade is obviously stupid But risking too little on A+ setups is almost as bad I see lots of guys who risk the exact same % of their portfolios on every trade But fixed position sizing leaves edge on the table and limits your opportunities to make money Whereas variable position sizing allows you to go heavy when you have aces in the hole Nothing wrong with risking more on highly asymmetric bets or setups that tick all your boxes for an A+ trade The skill is in recognising which setups deserve the higher risk

Every System Sucks Social media trading glorifies perfect win rate systems with 0 drawdown entries that go straight to target. Gurus don't talk about their losing trades or losing streaks to maintain the fantasy that you can consistently risk and win without losing. This brainwashes their less experienced followers into believing they're doing something 'wrong' if they lose a trade (or multiple trades) and sends them on a goose chase for a mythical trading system that never loses money. It doesn't exist. If you trade, you're going to lose money at some point. Every edge or profitable trading system either decays over time or gets washed out completely by a change in the market regime. Trends end and have false starts. Trend followers get chopped. Breakouts fail. Momentum traders get trapped. Means stop reverting. Mean reverters get steamrolled. That doesn't mean the system is inherently flawed. It's just the cost of doing business. The point of risk management is to allow you to absorb those unavoidable losses and stay in the game. That's why it's called risk management, not risk avoidance. If you want to avoid losing trades, there's an easy way to do it: don't trade. Otherwise, you need to be comfortable with the fact that even the best trading system will eventually serve you losing trades. This is precisely why traders obsess over position sizing: the goal is to maximise your edge while it's there/the regime is supportive, without losing your shirt once it decays or disappears entirely. Crucially, if your previously profitable trading system starts losing, that can be an early warning signal that the underlying regime is changing. Losing streak on a trend following system that was printing? The market may be consolidating. Breakout trades turn into traps? The market may be running out of steam. Mean reversion trades overshooting their expected ranges? Volatility expansion may be underway. These are critical insights, but you can only meaningfully gain access to them if you're willing to stick to your system, learn its nuances, gather data, and take risk instead of panicking and abandoning ship after the first losing trade. To summarise: 1. Losses are inevitable. Every trading system experiences losing trades. They are the cost of doing business, not proof of a flawed system. 2. Risk management is not risk avoidance. The goal is to size such that losses don’t knock you out, not to eliminate losses entirely. 3. Edges decay. Market regimes shift, so a once profitable strategy may stop working and losses can be an early signal of change. 4. Stay disciplined & collect data. By sticking to your system through different regimes and by stomaching variance, you can learn its behaviour and spot regime shifts early. 5. There's no free lunch.

@P3b7_ they fucking got me. somehow they got my hot wallet seed and drained me today.

🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds. If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe. If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now. It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage.

GM bulls How's the vibe?

THE CURRENT ETH APEX PLAYBOOK After this morning’s shakeout, we’re now entering the most delicate phase - the accumulation zone. If ETH can hold above $4,400 through Friday afternoon, especially with volume tapering off, that’s the signal the predators are absorbing supply - not selling into strength. For the next 2-3 hours, expect a tight range and indecision. But if price stabilizes and subtle bids show up into the TradFi close, that’s not retail - that’s positioning for what’s coming. Then comes Saturday - where Apex thrives. Volume fades, the market chops sideways between $4,380 and $4,480, and sentiment gets shredded. This isn’t random - it’s designed to frustrate. We’ll likely see fake dips under $4,380, maybe even toward $4,350. But if those are quickly bought up, it’s not a breakdown - it’s a trap. The name of the game right now isn’t volatility - it’s misdirection. Hold structure above $4,350 this weekend, and the real move begins Sunday night. SUNDAY The Setup Day Early (US Hours): Continue chop $4,400-$4,480 Afternoon (US Hours): Start grinding toward $4,500 Sunday Night (US HOURS/ASIA MON OPEN): The move begins Target: Push above $4,500-4,520 Intent: Trap late shorts who think it's resistance MONDAY MORNING US Pre-Market: Target: $4,540-4,580 Intent: Gap up to force short covering Key: Break above 4H EMA at $4,535 US Market Open: Scenario A (60%): Gap and go to $4,600+ Scenario B (40%): Retest $4,500 then launch Ultimate Target: $4,680 liquidation cluster THE EXECUTION FRAMEWORK BULL TRIGGERS (Confidence Builders): Hold above $4,400 through Friday close Defend $4,350 on any weekend dip Break above $4,500 Sunday night Volume increases above $4,480 BEAR WARNINGS (Exit Signals): Lose $4,350 with volume Can't break $4,480 by Sunday Funding turns heavily positive (>0.02%) L/S ratio flips to majority long THE CRITICAL PIVOT: $4,350-4,400 zone Above = Squeeze narrative intact Below = Flush to $4,200 possible HIGHEST CONVICTION PLAYS: If we hold $4,400 today: The weekend will be accumulation, Monday will be fireworks The Sunday Night Tell: If we're above $4,500 by late Sunday eve, the squeeze is on The Trap Zone: $4,480-$4,520 will see massive short adds. That's the fuel. Monday's Key: First hour of US trading will set the week's tone. Above $4,580 = possible run to $4,800+ THE APEX TRUTH: The predators have successfully created maximum fear at optimal levels. The global liquidation map says the juice is above, not below. The extreme short positioning is unsustainable. The weekend's thin liquidity is perfect for position building. Bottom Line: Defend $4,350 Accumulate $4,400s Break $4,500 Sunday Squeeze $4,680+ Monday The hunters become the hunted starts now.

there are 2 potential HYPE sell events i am keeping an eye on i will be holding regardless as i possess astronomical testicular fortitude the events are: 1) November 2025 - $440m / month HL team unlocks start. this is...material, and nobody is really talking about it. will the team preserver their pristine image and diamond hand, or are they mere mortals like us swamp dwellers, and will sell hype to acquire penthouses on the monaco waterfront? i am curious to see how they handle this. selling would be completely understandable (and expected) from a human emotional perspective, but in some sense it would violate the purity of the protocol 2) November 30, 2025-January 1, 2026 - USA 1-year long-term cap gains treatment date takes effect, post-TGE. a lot of US-based holders will sell on/around this date to save the 17% in taxes that they'd incur from selling 1 day earlier. some will defer the sale until Jan 1 to roll the taxes owed to their 2027 filing (for tax year 2026). ask your CPA, this is just my understanding i will not be selling but i am curious to hear thoughts about these from others

Red days are blessings. Green days are curses. Remember how you feel on green days. Frozen out, unable to get an entry and wanting to FOMO every chart you look at. Then when the red appears, don't be a pussy, don't turn bearish, and actually take the opportunity on offer.

ETH and Totals 2 & 3 coming into significant levels Sustain a bid above at some point later in Q3/Q4 (give or take a correction prior) ... And our beloved shitters might just catch a bid

i grew a port to 600k w/ memecoins & blew it down to 30k this was the result from simply overclicking, oversizing, and not letting narratives play out its so important that if you bid a coin (with a valid thesis), to hold it strong all of the best traders are bidding narrative, cult, ai coins at a market cap that they believe has room for growth & selling on the pumps all of the worst traders are bidding a coin, seeing it go down 20-60% or up 20-60% & FSH'ing the whole position bidding less & just letting your thesis play out over time is significantly higher ROI rather than rotating into something else when you're up/down 20% any time you see "a better bid" (if you have smaller port/low winrate) i didn't realize how important it is to remain positioned for huge moves & also taking profits as it goes up but just leaving positions IN THE COIN the learning curve in this game is so fucking insanely hard (for me) but if you can figure it out without blowing up, it can be generational

a lot of the big CT traders are still not trading on @base, even as the ecosystem starts to go into overdrive think this is a mix of lack of familiarity with the tools, lack of awareness, and some bias tag your favorite not-yet-based trader and I'll onboard them by hand

Remember... Protect your capital before you protect your ego. The best trades feel obvious in hindsight, not at entry. Price action is noise. Liquidity is the language. Never chase - let the prey come to you. Plan the exit before you take the entry. Green candles feed greed; red candles feed patience. Survival is the only strategy that compounds forever. The market engineers emotion to sell you bad trades - kill emotion or it will kill you. 🫡 From the depths — The White Whale 🐋

@AlexOnchain Man I did the same, left NYC, flew to Mexico City, and just went south for a year and a half. Agree with everything said all those places are amazing! I personally got stuck into little town Colombia and just spent weeks at a time in places

I quit my job last year, flew to Mexico and just kept traveling for the next 14 months It was amazing - I wouldn't trade it for anything Finally got round to writing up: • My full route • How much I spent (it's not what you think) • My favourite places Full travel thread:
