Legacy markets slowly finding their way onchain, tradable with leverage 24/7.
If you cannot grasp what the future will look like, you are behind.
Its not about "BTC and majors anymore", market cycles wont mean shit cause you can now just hedge with a single button press that is not gate-kept by complex dusty platforms and expensive fees.
Do with this information what you want. But I know what to do.
@ThePenguinXBT I've been a fan of you since the start but idk about this. Was it not because you were risking 5% of your portfolio per trade? Things went south and the stress/blood markers went to shit. I think you are good at trading but at the end of the day you are still a unwise 20 year old
Made half a million at 20
- blew every penny.
Moved to Dubai running businesses, looked fine on the outside. Inside I was a zombie for 6 months and had no idea why.
Zero motivation. Couldn’t feel pleasure from anything. Brain fog so thick I’d forget what I was doing mid-sentence.
Felt like I was watching my own life from the outside on autopilot. Avoided all my friends. Couldn’t order a coffee without my heart racing, hands shaking, blood pumping through my chest. Constant fight-or-flight for no reason.
Finally got full bloods done. Not the basic panel your GP runs -proper ones. The results were not good.
Prolactin 26.9 (range 4-15) - suppresses dopamine. You literally cannot feel pleasure.
Your brain compensates by making you hypersensitive to adrenaline. Everything feels threatening. This is why I couldn’t do basic tasks without anxiety.
TSH 6.08 (range 0.27-4.2)- hypothyroidism. Entire metabolism slows down. Brain fog, fatigue, depression. Nervous system can’t regulate itself.
I was running on 20% and wondering why I couldn’t think straight.
Fasting Insulin 17, HOMA-IR 3.48 -
insulin resistant.
Blood sugar crashes between meals, body dumps adrenaline to compensate.
Feels exactly like a panic attack. Shaking, heart pounding, pure dread. I thought I had an anxiety disorder. It was my blood sugar crashing every 3 hours.
ALT 89 (range 10-50) - liver stressed, can’t detoxify properly, impaired thyroid conversion. All four systems feeding into each other creating a cascade.
On top of all this,-induced panic attack 5 months ago sensitized my nervous system. Amygdala stuck in fight-or-flight
permanently. Layer broken dopamine, broken thyroid and blood sugar crashes on top and you get a 21 year old who can’t leave his apartment.
No dopamine also meant my brain was constantly chasing bigger hits to feel anything. Gambling. Shopping. Nicotine. That’s how I blew 500K.
Not because I’m bad with money - because the hardware was broken.
Day 4 of the protocol. Already feeling different. Music sounds good again. Brain fog lifting. Energy stabilising. These aren’t psychological problems.
They’re biochemical. Fix the hardware, the software runs.
If you feel like a zombie and can’t explain why - get full bloods. Not the basic panel. Get full thyroid, prolactin, fasting insulin + glucose, liver panel, AM cortisol, homocysteine, vitamin D.
Don’t guess. Test.
Your brain isn’t broken. Your hormones might be.

@TraderMeso Good observation but 928 points are out of my own trading which is still a lot considering how much I put in or spent
Variational is the best play for next few months
I did like 3.5M$ volume in this account
Spent barely like 100$ on spread and fees
If I did the same trades on binance or any other CEX, I would have paid 1800$ in fees approx
Plus I gained 350$ as loss refund
Plus 1542 points making me at rank 249, assuming lowest of all 1 point = 10$ it's 15k$
Kindly explain me one reason to not use it? Thanks
