Profitable trading is boring, yet all of these fake technical analysis gurus make trading look fun. Lesson in there. Simplification is key, you don’t need a Picasso styled chart to read the market. You don’t look smart, instead retarded.

Doing a $500 giveaway every week this month to someone in the (free)/public discord Rules.. 1. Must have posted at least 1 chart in the discord that week. 2. Must have liked this post 3. Must have shared this post

@Albert_618 You’re a good man, Albert. There are many who would take advantage of the desperate, many who would look away, but few who would offer a helping hand.

618ers will open 2 Slots for Scholarships. Free entry for those who deserve but can’t afford. Just DM me and tell me the reason why you. Don‘t need to tell me much about your financial Situation, just be real. I know some could make great use of it and their Situation doesn’t allow it. Tell me about you and why you. If you could afford it and still DM me and trick me - it would be very weak and you just generate bad karma. I will read DMs after Weekend. It wont be public who gets the Slot. It will be discrete like it should be IMO. Have a great Weekend!

@Albert_618 10/10 music choice

Wait and Bleed on the $DAX pre London. It's on 1200% speed, so the holding time was longer. Can you hold that? Can you add when it hurts? Can you wait till it works? New week started, I invite you to do the opposite of what the average person does - your outcome should be different then. Exit the Herd. What do you have to lose? Execution in the Comments.

@TraderDune Nice one 🤝

$BTC +7.5R 💥 You don't need to trade everyday, don't ever have to force an entry on every setup you see. I haven't taken a fresh trade for about a month until now on Bitcoin, then I profit what most make after 20 trades on a single good trade. That's all you need, one single good trade. Don't get me wrong - some are good at taking a lot of trades each day, but that's just not my cup of tea.

@venture_charts Insane how weak some of these are, easy shorts

$HBAR As per video from some weeks ago. There's been a brutal lesson for many in these markets as they accumulated alt coins based on the view that they were at a discount and the number of ppl "happy to be sat in spot" whilst their account is in down only mode (and of course other markets are in powerful bull trends) The cold hard reality is that these assets are worth nothing and their true value is nothing. This is the casino and it is pure speculation. That being said, for those who understand the game and the rules, there's money to be made, but only a small % of participants are willing to put in the hard years and reap the rewards. Until you see a shift in these patterns in these high risk assets, i'd advise caution. $BTC is in a bear market and has been since late summer. The "CNY" or the "inverse 10/10" narratives are designed to get you back in the market just in case you miss a 100% move in an hour. The only person who can help you is you.

@ChainHubCT Let's find out

Would be funny if...

@Moneytaur_ Something I’ve been pondering after witnessing past year’s events. If the trap fades as you say, all the more reason to have extracted as much as possible, then built wealth and sustainability in life to not rely on these markets.

Before elaborating on it, i'd just say this: people will always have money available at some point, whether every month or every couple of weeks, which means they can always keep gambling. There are people with gambling addiction who have been going to casinos almost daily for years. Crypto is simply a casino disguised as investing, airdrops are the "comps" to keep people playing, which allows many to hide behind the "investor" label while continuing to feed the exact same addiction. It's not really about how many times the herd will fall for it. It's about how long whales can keep the machine effective enough to extract from them. Not how many mistakes retail can make, but how long the system remains efficient at monetizing those mistakes. As long as enough people still believe, still hope, still think the next cycle will "make it all back" the game can continue. But once enough people learn the hard way, once enough capital is destroyed, once enough trust is gone, the efficiency of the trap declines. There'll be the people who got wrecked for life, and there will be the people who never played the game but is aware of the majority getting wrecked over several years playing the game, thus scared. And that's when the real strategic question appears: Do whales keep milking the same game with lower efficiency, or do they gradually shift attention to the next shiny object, the next narrative, the next scam large enough to absorb mass hope? Bitcoin gives them a unique advantage in this regard. With the "last coin mined" roughly a century from now the dream can technically be kept alive for decades. That long timeline is not just a feature. It's also the perfect psychological weapon. It allows people to project wealth far into the future, to build life plans around eventual riches to remain emotionally invested for years, sometimes for life. And that's where the trap becomes deeper than price, because now they’re not just holding bags. They're holding identity, belief, future expectations, and the hope that one day all the pain will be justified. If you think like a whale, why would you rush to end that? Why would you kill a system that can keep people voluntarily attached to the dream for decades? A dream that keeps them buying, holding, waiting, and explaining away every rug as "part of the cycle" That's the brilliance of it, not the tech. Not that people lose once, but that they can be conditioned to lose repeatedly while believing they're still on the path to winning. So the real danger isn't that people get rugged once. It's that they spend the rest of their lives planning around a future that never arrives. What can you use to understand whether crypto cycles will keep playing out? 1] In my opinion, everything changes dramatically once whales turn openly pro-Bitcoin. I said that many times before, and then they did. That matters because by the time whales are publicly bullish, the game is no longer early accumulation, but positioning, narrative control, and distribution into belief. 2] You need to find ways to measure whether there is still enough belief, hope, and deployable capital in the system. Not just money, but money willing to sit through volatility for the promise of insane gains. You also need to ask whether whales are even interested in playing a game where the herd is already poor. If the crowd is too drained, too traumatized, and too broke, the upside of running the same cycle becomes weaker. Sometimes whales "give away" money first. Incentives, rewards, grants, random pumps, sudden strength across the board. People read that as opportunity, but often it is preparation. They create conditions that make people feel early again, confident again, hopeful again. Then the herd chases, leverage returns, greed comes back, and the rug becomes much more effective. In that sense, the money they "gave" was never kindness. It was bait, or more precisely, a temporary redistribution designed to be reabsorbed later at scale. It is also important to understand how much whales may have extracted over certain periods, because that tells you how financially comfortable they are, how aggressively they can build in the real world, and how patient they can afford to be before needing another major harvest. They may be extracting constantly through normal market behavior, but that is different from the large extraction events, the real resets, the violent crashes, the moments presented as random when in reality they function as massive wealth transfers. So the question is not just whether crypto cycles still exist. The real question is whether the ingredients for an effective cycle are still there: enough belief, enough fresh or recycled capital, enough patience from whales, and enough despair in the herd to make them chase the next breadcrumb as if it were salvation.

Important to keep in mind that trust in crypto has been eroded to levels we've never seen before. Most aren't here to get rich anymore. They're here trying to recover losses and spread their frustration with as many people as they can, so by starting a super-cycle in a market of fools, whales wouldn't be into wealth creation, but refunding the herd, and whales don't refund losses. They give breadcrumbs so people keep playing the game. That shift alone changes everything. That super-cycle the herd kept talking about, already happened. Bitcoin's entire 15-year run was the super-cycle with the real climax in 2021. What we're left with now isn't easy money anymore, but a market that punishes late entries, blind conviction, and emotional holding. Remember someone saying something like "be fearful when whales turn Pro-Bitcoin" and it's been quite the shi*-show ever since. By the time whales are openly bullish, they're not accumulating anymore, they're distributing. You could see it clearly with Michael Saylor alone, doing constant Bitcoin-related interviews across major news outlets right near and at the top. So, you either time the moves properly, manage risk, take profits when others don't, or you end up like the average Verasian and Hexican, delusional and poor, or worse. Interesting how the majority of Bitcoin maxis are in profit, simply because they chose not to gamble in the casino. Yet this space is still mainly populated by people driven by aggressive gambling addiction, constant stimulation, and other destructive traits. Same market, very different psychology, and therefore very different outcomes.

@CryptoChase02 Won’t spoil it but insane plot twists last ep…

@killwickram Still need to watch the last 2 episodes 😛

Completely trading unrelated but that last Jujustu Kaisen episode was peak. Absolute Cinema 🙌

@CryptoError369 Nice short, saw the signs

Bitcoin ⚠️ x.com/CryptoError369…

@mnr_bond @Albert_618 Thank you good sir

@killwickram @Albert_618 Great trade

$BTC I closed some before news and the rest got stopped. Didn't see the 1h. Now we have a new Situation. x.com/Albert_618/sta…

@lava_xbt Yep just chop and range honestly, trading the two extremes has paid well 🤝

@killwickram Nice. The altcoin PA has been rancid this entire time

Stopped BE on the first short, now short again as planned from the swing high on $BTC 📉 Classic move we've been seeing in the last 6ish months in this market. Supply is ignored initially, rejection from the swing high, followed by respect of supply. Stops BE, enjoy weekend ✌️

@Albert_618 Yes, only they take much longer to fully play out. What I learned from LTF I carry on over, it’s priceless

@killwickram Now imagine do HTF only and collect 100s of trades to find out who you are. To find out what works.

I See more and more posts in my bubble about how to favor HTF over LTF / Session trading. The noise rarely to never comes from real traders. If you are a trader, you simply do one thing... You trade. It doesn't matter if HTF MTF or LTF - you do it cause you love it. In the Video below you see a low risk end of the Week Scalp with beautiful Music. It cost me some minutes on the Livestream and was fun. Meanwhile I'm in about 20+ Swingpositions, mostly on Stocks. It's completely irrelevant if I tell someone my opinion what would be better. If you scalp the 15s or you do a Swing or whatever. Relevant are results. Results show themselves when you look in the mirror. Did you give up? Deep inside you know if you build yourself or an illusion.

@Albert_618 To get good enough you put in many hours over many days, journal and reflect on 100s of trades each week. After your edge develops can get away with much less time imo

@killwickram Why lots of time?
