Don’t trade to be right. Trade to make money. I've seen countless people defending a certain position with their ego. The best traders are always the ones admitting when they are wrong and trying to learn from it.

Just because something is on sale it doesn't mean you should buy it. Imagine going to a store and buying everything on sale but not buying anything you actually want. Now if you can be patient and wait for something to go on sale that you want then that's a winning trade.

Treat trading like poker, not like chess In chess, you know where all the pieces are at all times. The full board state is always visible. Every possible move can be calculated. Outcomes follow deterministically from the rules You have perfect knowledge of all relevant information in the system In a market with perfect information, all traders would have complete knowledge of prices, utilities, cost functions, orderbooks, capital constraints, and all other exogenous variables But trading isn't like that Trading is more like poker. A game of imperfect information where your opponent's cards are not all known. Where you infer other positions and intentions from limited data. Where bluffing and deceit play a bigger role. Where your edge comes from probabilistic reasoning and reading opponents instead of brute force calculation Don't treat trading like chess. Don't try to calculate the optimal move as though you are playing with perfect information Play like poker. Understand that you don't have all the information, and adjust your strategy accordingly In chess, if you play perfectly, you will win In poker, you can play perfectly and still lose Remember that

You’ll find the most value in the way a trader thinks about the market, not in his/her system. That comes later on when you begin understand how to think like a trader. It’ll all fall into place if you give it enough time and energy.

Trading isn't necessarily a game of information.. it’s a game of character.

No such thing as LAZINESS. Don’t fucking LIE to yourself. Drug addicts will go through HELL for their next drug. Video game addicts will grind USELESS games for 12hrs straight. Everyone's got ENERGY. What matters is just how you CHANNEL it.

No one cares about your opinion. Unless you’re rich or you have power, You’re literally just background noise. That’s the reality. So until you’ve got status or capital, shut the fuck up and get to work. No one respects broke confidence. No one values opinions from the bottom. And no one’s listening to someone they wouldn’t trade places with. Get results. Then speak. Until then, stay quiet and build. Too many nobodies sharing their opinion like people are taking notes. No one is.

i just tipped my hotel bellboy his entire monthly salary on my way out. folded it up small in my hand, gave him a handshake, smiled and walked away. didn’t wait for his reaction. didn’t wait for a thank you. why? because real giving has no conditions. most people give & expect something back. a thank you / validation, or some fake feeling of being a “good person.” that’s not generosity, that’s a transaction. the moment you expect something, you’ve already lost. because when you move with abundance, you don’t need it back from them. god, life, the universe, whatever you believe in will return it tenfold. give freely. expect nothing. watch how much more comes back.

Nobody cares about your efforts, Only your results.

In life and in crypto, The hardest truth to accept is this: You don’t get what you want. You get what you prepare for. You can dream of 100x profit, But if you’re not disciplined enough to build a thesis, If you panic sell during every pullback, If you follow the crowd instead of the data, Then you’ll always be the one holding the bag. Success doesn’t come from luck. It comes from stacking small wins every day: Holding conviction when everyone doubts. Buying when fear is in the air. The same applies to life. It’s not about the goals you set. It’s about the systems you build to get there. And right now? Both life and this bull run are giving you a shot. Don’t fuck up.

As a man, Isolation is the price you pay when you start to fix your life.

Competition happens at the bottom. The people at the top are collaborating

Worry doesn't come from a lack of options, But a lack of perceived options. Broaden your horizon, There is always another vantage point to view your 'problem' from.

Lock in brother. The struggle you're facing is a test to see if you are who you say you are.

📖 25 "Cheat-codes" to achieve Success in Life 1) If you want to flourish, you take care of the soil rather than the seed. Upgrade your environment, because your environment upgrades you. 2) A flower doesn't go after the bee. The flower flourishes, and then the bee will come. Stop chasing butterflies. Plant a garden (build) so they will come to you (results) 3) Stop hanging out with losers unless you want to be one yourself. Hanging out online included - The sources you choose to receive content from, are one very big reason for your future decisions and outcomes. Choose carefully what you fill your mind it, and what you spend your most valuable asset (time) on. Don't worry about following too many sources or having too many friends. Quality over Quantity. 4) Try to never be the smartest person in all rooms you're in. Be somewhere where you can consistently learn, and be somewhere where you can consistently teach - Teaching is learning twice and can build trustworthy networks. 5) Define one Big goal for your life. Make it explicit. It will serve as your north star. Write it down in detail on a piece of paper and look at it every once in a while to remind yourself why you're doing all of this. People who write down goals are much more likely to achieve them Vs who doesn't. 6) Once you know where you're going, stay in your lane and let the nay-sayers be. They'll try to distract you and discourage you, because deep inside they actually fear you achieve more than they ever did. Remember that you're not competing with them. You're competing with poverty and who you were yesterday. Seek progress rather than perfection. 7) The worst position to find yourself in: No money + No time. Barely anyone on the planet is victim of both combined. The person who has time can always choose to trade it for money. Once you have money, you can begin choosing to trade it for time. Learn this arbitrage and you're sorted for life. 8) There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. Focus on doing what you do, and do it consistently better. It takes thousands of hours to master anything life-changing. 9) For as long as you live remember that the only free cheese is in the mousetrap. 10) Every day, do one thing that gets you closer to your big goal. Venture out into the unknown. Get out of your comfort zone. Remember, boats are safe in the harbor, but that's not what boats are for. 11) Do not quit. Everyone who won at life, simply did not give up. It might take a while, it might be hard, it might be scary at times, but as long as you keep putting one foot in front of the other, you will eventually get to a life most can only dream of. Hardships are life's way of seeing if you're ready to level up. 12) Never assume the answer is No before you ask. Let them be the ones to tell you No. More often than not you'll be surprised by how wrong you were to assume the worst. A "No" doesn't change your reality much. A "Yes" might do. Even if you get a "No", then you can ask what would've made them say "Yes". Their feedback will help you grow. You need the right mindset to understand the value on this. 13) Let them hate. Nobody throws stones at a tree that doesn't have ripe fruit on it. If you begin having haters, you're growing. 14) Stop expecting them to see what you see. Stop expecting them to act the way you would act. Stop expecting YOU from other people. They won't be able to see the world the way you see it. When you talk growth and achievements with people who don't want to grow, to them it sounds like bragging. They'll resent you from trying to move up from where they are, because your progress makes them realize that they are less in comparison. A man with no aspirations sees dreams as arrogance. 15) Others will only see the outcome, not the effort. "Overnight success" usually takes years to accomplish. 16) Stop chasing people. Yes, sex is fun, but making your dreams come true is the ultimate climax. You can't even imagine what it's like to wake up without the stress of having to survive/follow boss's rules. 17) The only real test of intelligence is if you actually get what you want out of life. Ask yourself: "If i'm so smart why am i not rich? Why have i been so many years selling my time for cheap money to make other people rich?" Smart people are able to figure these things out. Maybe you're just smarter than your inner circle and that makes you feel smart enough, but are you?...Self-reflect and you might find the answers to change your life moving forward. 18) Learn to use leverage (and this is not about futures...) Those who use the tools at their disposal outperform the rest. Most people's lives are cheap because they think investing in themselves is expensive. 19) Rise up early. The world is lazy and unmotivated. It's easy to compete with them if you're up before them. An extra hour awake is worth more when you're 30 than when you're 80. It pays off to cut on sleep when you're younger. 20) In life you have to choose one of two pains: The pain of Discipline, or the pain of Regret. 21) You feel bad because deep down you know you could be doing better. The gap between reality and expectations creates stress. Either bring your reality to the level of your expectations, or bring your expectations to the level of your reality. Make a choice. 22) People want you to do well in life, but not better than them. Pay attention to those who don't cheer when you win. They're always ready to give you "advice" or even laugh if you fail, because they never win. 23) You can get rich by taking large amounts of risk with low amounts of money. You stay rich by taking low amounts of risk with large amounts of money. 24) Cost of public failure is the ticket to the life you dream about. Most people live with the fear of public embarassment, so they settle for whatever society tells them to settle for. You don't need others to believe in you if you believe in yourself. You get to decide whether to be your greatest obstacle, or your biggest fan. 25) The world where you were born, no longer exists, so open up your mind and get ready for the future. Lastly, it's not the recipe that you're missing. You're smart enough to know what needs to be done, but you have to do it rather than thinking of doing it later. What you need is 6 months of focus, productive routine. In 3 years from now your life can be so much better if for the next 6 months you put in the work on your mindset and skills.

Learn to react less. When you control your reaction, Nobody can manipulate you.

If you're about to take an emotion-based action, wait 24 hours.

In life, You do not rise to the level of your goals, You fall to the level of your systems. In #crypto it is the same. You don’t rise to the level of your dreams, You fall to the level of your strategies. You don't achieve financial freedom by wishing, You attain it by disciplined trading. You don't get rich by luck, You build wealth through consistent correct decisions. You don't make profits by hoping, You lock them in with a solid exit plan. Success in this space isn’t about setting high goals, It’s about having systems and being disciplined enough to stick with them.

Fear is "What if." Faith is "Even If."

In life you either program yourself, or society will do it for you.
