i joined an fnf and saw my ex in there yesterday
dated her 2 years ago
haven't spoken since
everyone wumpus waving at me in gen chat
i notice her from the corner of my eye
i click on the profile, its her
there is a different kind of tension when you're trading in the same fnf as someone who you've dated
i join vc, she joins after me, i felt my heart rate spike
not from nerves. from competitiveness mixed with something else
this isnt just another trenching session anymore
this is personal
here's what happens when you trench with your ex:
every trade is psychological warfare
every sol profit feels like winning the breakup
every dev nuke feels like she's vindicated for leaving
im not playing the trenches anymore.
im playing "prove im better off now" simulator
each buy from my wallet has conviction now
i watch every new pair differently now
i cant just ape anything, she's silently watching my wallet
i see a new pair i ape 5 sol
i normally ape 3 sol, this time is different
someone asks why i bought that in vc
i stay dead silent
she apes 5 sol as well
i know what that means. "i'm better now"
normally id sell, take my profit, but this is different
she's testing if i need that sol, i adjust, i trade different
friends ape in, market cap is climbing
i still say nothing, diamond handing my entire bag, not scared of the outcome.
because silence is the power move
we are having an entire conversation through trading
no words, just buys on the chart
i ape 2 sol
she goes "what is this"
THERE IT IS
the first crack in the silence
that question contains 2 years of unspoken tension
i respond cold "might be something"
i notice dev wallet moving tokens, i trim half my bag
she goes "you just nuked on me" she thinks she's won
i respond "wait"
the vc becomes quiet.. we get a ping, dev sells
i buy 10 sol, i hear her gasp
she realizes i fully predicted a dev sell and got more supply and initials
the vc is silent, the coin starts getting traction
kols buying left and right
everyone starts cheering in vc, we are up 10x
i start trimming, everyone follows
exit the trade up 100 sol
i post my first message in the fnf, its just my pnl card
everyone starts reacting to it saying "we hit"
she reacts with a ♥️
i leave vc. that's it. that's the whole conversation
here's the thing about trading with your ex
the good fnfs are small
you WILL see your ex
you WILL see others flexing their pnl to her
and it WILL feel like therapy mixed with competition
some people can't handle it.
but if you're serious about trading? you play it out.
use that tension. channel that history into performance
she knows your patterns? change them.
she expects you to play safe? all-in
turn the emotional warfare into SOL
the trenches teach you: don't let personal shit affect your conviction
your ex is just another trencher
the history doesn't matter if you're the one posting the pnl card.

+1m~ this month
crazy month with BNB in the first two weeks & dual-wielding SOL for remainder of the month. lot of effort to reach this goal
when I first started trading in january, never imagined myself hitting a pnl like this. grateful for everything this space offers
onwards to november 👍

+456k this month (+90k EVM)
strange month, made a lot in the first half, then market got absolutely cooked. missed huge size plays like ASTER, etc as well (caught XPL thankfully)
not sure when volume will return back to the trenches but regardless ill show up, there's always opportunities. I remember trading daily when sol was at $100 in april so this is nothing new
onwards to uptober 🤞

gave everyone a fair chance at the next 7 figure play
called it 10 times with detailed thesis despite the enormous amount of FUD
doubled down and up 7 figs

I invested in $APEX at 0.6$ thesis is simple: perp dex backed by Ben (Bybit CEO) and sitting at 350m FDV with the same fundamentals as $ASTER which is at 15B FDV I’m expecting 2$ in a few weeks more info soon

+629k this month
my best trading month so far, no red days. very grateful to be performing this well, but still have room to improve
biggest thing I need to work on moving forward is sizing into runners / conviction plays. missed so many free runners this month because I didn't feel like topblasting or the coin narrative seemed weak. adapt or die
onwards to september 👍

Keeping short as I am ill again.
Eth good, btc ok, most everything else bad. CPI this week will be nothing of importance unless estimates way off. Trump admin wants to short term pump markets in exchange for future pain. Play the game with that in mind.
Approaching cycle wide resistance, will let people know when we are there and I’ll mechanically derisk and likely begin to build my sol short to hedge my eth long there. Goal is to be fully short once music stops but easier said than done.
Bubble? Probably. Bubble popping? Don’t think so. Be a bull for now. Want to long dips if they come, if not holding lot of eth.
Hated rally in equities. Tom Lee is right, people are sidelined and scared to buy, higher.
If eth sends with out dragging up btc its time to get very defensive. Still hate sol, still don’t like any other alts for my liquidity requirements.
Follow the money, once treasury company flywheel ends it’s going to send shit into a catastrophic bleed, but it won’t happen for months. Monitor these dat’s
Good luck! Won’t be posting for a while sorry in advance very very sick.

as the trademark OWNER of GOR and GORBAGANA I will prove my point by endorsing whichever fork of Gorbagana I own the most $ amount of in an hour 😂
this is the only way I can think of to resolve this fork war--using the power of lawful intellectual property

which chain Solana Foundation picks to apply SOL trademark to will strongly influence which chain has majority of biz value on it this means they have strong power over fork choice let's not be naive lol, otherwise your desire to say Ethereum was centralized around DAO fork time might also be eroded haha
