Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel: "show me an athlete who did well academically." "an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss." talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level. same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.

@TraderMercury we have all been there sooner or later and hopefully never again

6 years ago today I liquidated the portfolio I spent 2 years building up ~12hrs a day trading all gone to waste because of one decision, ego, and skill issue that was the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

@DjukicVuk @ThomasSowell his kids won't be healthier than our kids, ever..

@ThomasSowell I think he's speaking for HIS children with his husband... which is ok, his opinion...

Sam Altman: "A kid born today will never be smarter than AI, ever… We will think how bad those people of the 2000's had it."

@hkuppy what % is going into traders/investors? can we assume unemployment is bullish liqudity? :D

By Q2, if you aren’t firing lots of employees, your board will fire you for being a dinosaur who doesn’t implement AI. It’s going to happen fast now. Feudalism, here we come…

@UpexiAllan Planning to acquire more SOL?

"Something worth paying attention to. Non-USDC/USDT stablecoin supply on Solana is up 10x since last January. PayPal, Paxos, World Liberty all building there. At what point do people stop calling this memecoin infrastructure?"

As digital assets go mainstream, “privacy coins” like Monero hark back to the industry’s foundational idea: a decentralized electronic cash system running outside the purview of governments and central banks bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@akshat_hk Looks totally fine

Team Red got smoked today by Team Blue in the US. Time for Trump & Bessent to run the printer back turbo in 2026 to hand out goodies so Team Red doesn’t lose big in Nov ‘26. I hope ur long $BTC and $ZEC.

@Galois_Capital Kevin, keep doing it - crypto industry needs more pro's like you.

True but I usually only comment about mechanics. I mean did you like it better when I just shorted shit to oblivion versus trying to be helpful?

@SalsaTekila Swimming is hard in the first 30 mins, afterwards you can go really long, i bet you can do 15km

@CryptoShadowOff great thread

Here is the largest amouny of alpha I can possibly drop on you in a compact post. If you're in a rut or simply want to reach 6, 7, 8 or 9 figures and are struggling. Read it. Bookmark it. Unpack it. In order to smash through in barrier and become elite, you must realise that trading is only about 7 things 1: Knowledge of market mechanics 2: Risk management 3: Game theory 4: Psychology 5: Analysis 6: Execution 7: Review And getting to the heart of these 7 things. In this post, i will drop one simple piece of alpha for each that will help you achieve this. This seven tiered system represent why my brand is called Tier 7 that respects the truth i uncovered many years ago. It is the 7-point principle areas of material that lead to trading perfection. Before you continue you must understand that each area must be mastered as a separate skill. They should be considers separate beams holding together one structure—the structure of success. If one goes missing, the structure eventually yields under the weight of psychological and or informational volatility of the markets. And they are skills that can take people years to learn independently. Market Mechanics 1: Unless you know how markets truly work via statistical & principle truths that are found across every single market, such as "pigs get slaughtered," "max pain theory," "negative sum game," "how the order book is a battle against competing forces," "the real expected growth curve," "how progress is not linear," "social media illusions vs. hard statistics," "how the market is illusory in rewarding you for bad actions (sometimes your system can be based on absolutely nothing and therefore random)"—then learn them so deeply they become automatic inserts into your perception that help you filter knowledge. Disaster awaits if you don’t. Because without them, you stray far from the truth. And when you stray far from the truth, you become food. Illusion = food. Risk Management 2: Unless you learn that risk management is about immortality first, the ability to strike at extreme deals second, how to read probability third, and how to assess RR fourth—you will NOT have the foundation for becoming rich. Without it, you will lose everything multiple times & at best, never progress. This simple topic is so complex that part of success is just having an epiphany on how complex it actually is. Alongside every other point here. Game Theory 3: Game. Theory. Unless you learn that any market can be symbolized by people sitting around a table playing poker, and that the market—from a first principles basis—reacts based on how their collective perceptions intersect with the ideas of a zero-sum game over time, you will always be food. Different liquidity does different jobs in the market. Much of it is invisible because all we see is candle prints. Learning to unpack the unseen will take you to the truth of why the market moves. It is not random. Psychology 4: Once a method for locating asymmetry is achieved, risk immortality is achieved, and a simplistic edge is achieved, the whole game graduates to becoming 100% psychological. Before that, it's a knowledge game. If you don’t know how shit works, "being more disciplined" means jack shit. But once you know everything at its depths, you only really have the ' base'for beconjng rich because ding is always the hardest thing. If you cannot stabilize your perception to be balanced when required, your results will not be balanced either. This is why lower time frames rekt. Because they give the individual far less time between decisions to reestablise, to develop pre and post conviction. Stoicism, pain tolerance, dopamine, objectivity, understanding instinct, backward-engineering impulses or instincts to locate truth, consistency, thriving through volatility, rest, balance, concentration—these are just a few of the areas that need to be absolutely mastered so that your brain functions as an amplifier to your wisdom, not a hindrance to your wisdom. Learning something is one skill. Actively learning to hold its hand through the fire on a consistent basis is another. It's almost a secret art. True Analysis 5: Until you learn that analysis is the art of reifying stories in the form of information, using context, game theory, deep thought, objectivity, and methods of understanding what a series of candles may represent over time (as it synthesizes with game theory & also market mechanics)—into a simple opinion or plan (using liquidity, exhaustion & value as your compasses), to get as close to the evolving truth as possible, you will forever be surprised. Since the market is fluid, it is your job to pay attention to how the story is evolving & and to then create a plan based on today or your relevant timeframe. One that is so simple and water-tight that it can be used consistently. 'Analysis is the art of reifying complexity into simplicity. A complex story into a simple plan. One that is so simple it is easy to use under fire, as it accounts for multiple scenarios, wins or losses. Similiar to a war on an open field' If any of you are struggling with the fluid nature of the market, think of it like this: Metaphorically, it is about how the current piano note changes the context of the entire song. I.e., how a candle changes the narrative of what has come before—or affirms it. Execution 6: In the same way football and tennis are different skills, execution is a completely separate skill from analysis. Your failure to realize that execution requires its own Bible will result in fumble after fumble until you eventually quit. It requires years of study. Nothing matters more than your ability to follow a plan under fire. Fire is the ultimate perception test. It's hard to stabilize your mind, listen mostly to logic, weigh instincts that matter, & filter out harmful ideas unless you are habitually trained to do so. 7: Review means evolution. Without making mistakes, there is no basis for getting richer and richer. Because mistakes reveal your blind spots. The biggest wins seldom occur from having no prior losses. They are dependantly evolving towards perfection. Each rung getting more and more subtle. Becoming rich is not just about making mistakes. It's about defeating them for next time. Without this, you are stuck indefinitely. Which is okay because perhaps you are for sale. But for progress, Review must be taken seriously. Conclusion: This is just a short primer into the 7 tiers that serve as a basis for success or failure within any financial market and my brand @tier7network I've written a thousand pages on it. There is much more to each tier, which can be found if you take our course @Tier7Network—but even the above is enough to transform your journey. I might delete this later, so make sure you absorb the free alpha for now. It will help you to level up dramatically. God bless. ❤️

@jvb_xyz very pro-level thread

Crypto traders want “alpha” (pocket aces), but they usually have no idea how to play those aces. In poker, SIZING BETS is the key to results. Here's how I think about it in my personal trading account: 🧵👇

@DavidVorick Can’t DM you

Glow just pulled in $1.6 million in on-chain revenue in a single day. That is perhaps the most on-chain revenue ever collected by a DePIN in a single day.

@jessepollak @delzennejc @AerodromeFi @coinbase That is game changing

@delzennejc @AerodromeFi yes @coinbase does 1:1 conversions

onchain FX with EURC<>USDC is: - 10-100x faster - 2-10x cheaper the global economy is moving onchain
