Nagato 𓂀

Yesterday I was in a taxi, on my way to Christmas dinner, casually scrolling X. I wasn’t even looking for content. And then I saw this guy. Absolutely convinced he cracked the code. His thesis? “Nobody wants crypto anymore. The old crypto crowd moved to prediction markets and stocks. Crypto is dead. Nobody will ever come back.” And I’m reading this thinking: You have to be completely sleepwalking through life to believe this, but the real comedy is thinking it’s an intelligent take. Let me ask you something. In 2021, during the biggest crypto bull run ever (in terms of global adoption)… why do you think everyone suddenly loved crypto? Was it the tech? The philosophy? The decentralized utopia? Or was it simply because everything was going up like crazy and people dreamed of becoming millionaire instantly? Be honest. Do you think people were buying NFTs because they believed in the “future of digital art”? Or because you could buy any random JPEG and 10x your net worth in two days? Exactly. It’s always the same story: Greed. Speculation. Easy money. Nothing else. Now fast-forward to today. Crypto PA has been nuked for 2–3 years. 95% of the magic internet coins look completely dead. No easy money. No cheap dopamine. So what happens? People get bored. People get tired. People leave. They chase stocks at all-time highs. They chase prediction markets. They chase metals. They chase whatever just pumped. Which is… normal behavior for (allow me the technicism) retards. Because when money isn’t easy anymore, the majority can’t think beyond the next candle. Meanwhile, behind the scenes: Adoption keeps growing. Infrastructure keeps improving. Institutions keep positioning. But retail doesn’t care about that. Retail only cares after the chart goes vertical. Same with stocks. Same with gold. Gold was “boring” when you could buy it for a third of today’s price. Now it’s at highs and suddenly it’s: “Financial freedom. Safe haven. Smart money.” No, you’re just late to the party. You’re not investing. You’re chasing pumps. And guess where you can still position before real liquidity comes and the upside actually happens? Yes. Magic internet money industry. So all these people screaming “crypto is dead” at the bottom? They have zero understanding of capital rotation. Zero understanding of macro & liquidity cycles. Zero understanding of how money actually moves. To conclude this quick Xmas rent: If you want to sell your crypto here to chase stocks or precious metals after the monstrous uptrends they already had, it’s your call. But, in a few months from now, there is a high chance you will regret this decision. So, before letting idiots on X convince you to abandon the most undervalued industry in this time in history, maybe (just maybe) do some research on what crypto can become in the next 5/10 years. Look at the mega-trend behind it. That’s all. Wish you all a wonderful Christmas.

@JoxCap @i_am_jackis I mean… Hahaha

@CryptoNagato @i_am_jackis Nagato max aura farming…

Let me take this opportunity to address a few things 🧵 First of all, thank you again @CryptoNagato for these truly kind words 🫶 Second, this is my call to summon you to come back to us once more (whenever you are ready brotha) Third, even Nagato is a happy reader of the J'Nest, give it a try too (link in bio) Fourth, was really busy with everything today so the Newsletter release is getting postponed till tomorrow. Apologies for that but as you know me, I hate speeding things up when they aren't properply finished. Fifth, thank you all fo your attention to this matter😄 and mainly for all each of yours support, whether it is comment, repost, DM or a simple like on my work 🙌

@i_am_jackis Let me grab a cappuccino and read the latest one. Anyway, I appreciate the summon (once again haha). Almost time to come back.

@i_am_jackis @JoxCap Lmao

@JoxCap @CryptoNagato

@i_am_jackis @JoxCap @Sykodelic_ @aintomega I mean… If Jackis summons me like that, I might have to come back for real this time haha

@JoxCap @CryptoNagato @Sykodelic_ @aintomega Thanks Jox, cannot wait for Nagato to fully come back 🫶

People kept spamming me with the rising wedge. Fair to say it is playing out, just not in a way they thought it would 🙃 Beautiful bounce from its lower boundary & clearly above range highs Bitcoin is now just 2% from potentially creating the first Weekly HL & HH in 9 months & as I said, bulls had & have the higher ground

@Bobby_1111888 No-brainer.

I've been aggressively purchasing Alts.

@eliasluoto 🫶🏻

@CryptoNagato well done for pushing forward. life is hollow without a sense of purpose, and once making money ceases to be a proxy for meaning (either because you give up, or because you make it), you get to discover what actually fires you up. glad to see it's a mission to empower others.

@m_existryan Kinda fire pic, not gonna lie. HNY brother 🤜🏻

Happy new year sir @CryptoNagato

You know what’s actually funny? Every day it becomes more and more obvious what MMs have been doing for months. If you still don’t see it, you’re sound asleep. Ask yourself this: How do you extract liquidity from the average trader and crush the conviction of long-term believers at the same time? Simple. You turn price action into psychological warfare. Every extremely violent push up is shortly followed by an equal (or worse) push down. Zoom out and look at BTC over the past 3/4 weeks. What do you see? BARTs. Everywhere. Straight up. Straight down. Again. And again. And again. The latest one happened earlier today. BTC ripped $3/4k in hours. Shorts got liquidated. Hope came back. Then, almost immediately, price retraced straight back to where it started. Late longs destroyed. Everyone emotionally drained. Once again; all by design. And here’s what most people completely miss: Even though MMs are loving doing that right now, this isn’t just about flushing high-leverage gamblers on both sides. This absurd PA is mainly designed to mentally annihilate the last remaining Magic Internet Money believers. Every time they think: “Okay… maybe we’re back,” They get slapped an hour later. Over. And over. And over again. That’s not randomness. That’s design. This is how you shake out even the most stubborn bulls before the next obvious move. They don’t even bother hiding the game anymore. Insane. Here’s what really puts things into perspective: If someone had slept through the last 24 hours and opened the chart right now… BTC would be at the exact same price. The exact. Fucking. Same. Nothing happened. But because most people live on lower timeframes, they felt everything. Up $4k. Down $4k. Confidence destroyed. Sentiment crushed. Even though price went nowhere. That’s the trap. So what do you do? You zoom out. You stop letting intraday noise fry your nervous system. You focus on where this industry is going and on key macro dynamics, not on every 15-minute candle. And before ending the rant, a quick reminder: We’re heading into monthly and yearly closes. Volatility will absolutely be part of the equation. Don’t fall prey to MM mind games. I highly recommend you to spend the next few days as a “PA spectator” and enjoy time with your loved ones instead. Wish you a wonderful start of the week.

@Len_web3 We’ll make them proud.

@CryptoNagato We talked about this in 2021 after my father's death. Really appreciate you, brother, and your work. I’m still here and grinding the only option is to win! There are bumps in the road, but every failure is a lesson, and the big win is coming. All the best, brother! 🖤🧿

Over the years, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat itself. People start businesses. They struggle. They fail once or twice. They quit. They go back to a “normal” life. Same with investing. Same with trading. Same with anything worth doing. And a lot of this comes from the generation we live in. This society glorifies cheap dopamine and instant gratification. Everything has to work fast. Everything has to feel good immediately. They want insane results instantly. But that’s not how any life-changing path works. If you look at history, or if you talk to the most successful people you know, you’ll realize something very simple: They failed more times than most people ever tried. I’m not trying to motivate anyone. I’m just stating reality. Instant gratification is the root cause of most failures you see around you. But there’s another problem, maybe an even bigger one. Most people are trying to make things work for the wrong reasons (aka average IG lifestyle guru). If you want to make money just to buy watches, fast cars, and impress people you don’t even like… At the first real struggle, you’re done. Your vision isn’t deep enough. Your motivation isn’t strong enough. At some point you’ll ask yourself: “Why the fuck am I struggling this much?” “For what?” “For a car?” “For a watch?” And mediocrity will suddenly feel very comfortable and almost a no-brainer. On the other hand, the people who actually make it all have something in common: They have big goals. Not surface-level goals. Not Instagram goals. Real ones. For me, it’s simple. I want to be free and live life on my own terms. I want my mom and brother to never worry about money and experience the finest things in life. And I want to become the best version of myself so I can take care of my future family the right way. So when things get hard (and they do get hard all the time, it’s just how life works), when I’m tired, frustrated, close to giving up… I pause. I breathe. I think about those goals. And every single time, I get goosebumps. That’s what keeps me going. Because those goals aren’t optional. They’re non-negotiable. For me, it’s not “nice if it happens.” It’s “it has to happen.” Failing isn’t an option, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to look at myself in the mirror. And that gives you a level of stamina most people don’t have. Because you’re not only doing it for yourself. You’re doing it for people you love. People you care about. That’s extra strength. And make no mistake; whether you want to be an entrepreneur, an investor, or a trader… You will go through a fuckton of hardship before things work. If your mindset isn’t right, you won’t survive that phase. So make this a priority going into 2026: Sit down. Write down real goals. And yes, you can have material goals too. “I want a Rolex.” “I want a nice car.” That’s fine. Just don’t build your entire life around shallow goals. Dig deeper. Because only when you dig deeper you tap into real strength. And that’s what separates the ones who make it from the ones who disappear along the way. Wish you a wonderful Sunday.

If you think this isn’t by design then you need to rethink.

Glad a lot of you are seeing through the smoke screen. If you’re looking to connect with likeminded people, you know where to go. Link below.

“If you think the price of winning is too high, wait until you get the bill of regret.”

@JBarronCS October 10th was “normal market stuff” for you?

I know how heavy this period feels. I know how violent this price action looks when you’re inside it. Your mind is probably crowded right now: fear, doubt, confusion. And that’s not accidental. This is exactly what “they” want. They thrive when the average participant can’t think clearly. When emotions take over. When reality gets distorted. You don’t know what comes next. Your brain is searching for certainty. And in that moment, it becomes easy to manipulate. That’s the game. But here’s the truth most people miss: Reality is not as broken as your emotions are telling you it is. Reality is not as broken as they want you to believe. It would take you two minutes to look at the full picture — the data, the structure (two charts I shared), the macro environment, to clearly see that. What you are seeing is a masterpiece of a smoke screen, perfectly orchestrated by wolves to get the most from what’s ahead. That’s how liquidity is harvested. That’s how the average participant gets annihilated. When price moves don’t make sense, it’s usually because they’re not designed to make sense; they’re designed to condition behavior. Panic. Capitulation. Disbelief. Exit. And then, once most people are no longer around, continuation. How to see through their lies and manipulation? When your mind starts spiraling, there’s only one move that actually works: Zoom out. Detach from the noise. Look at the data. Look at structure. Look at context. I’ve been in your shoes more times than I can count. I’ve felt exactly what many of you are feeling now. And every single time, the moment it felt the worst, was when the manipulation was working best (now). Leaving the market and "move on" always seemed like the best option. And every single time, in hindsight, it would have been a giant mistake. i'm not here to convince you, of course. You are free to do whatever you want. Just remember: Markets don’t usually reward those who react to fear. They reward those who can see through it🥀
