how i feel when i read about all the gacha companies struggling to source cards

@Flip_Research absolutely epic. esp the bit where you sold it all. thats as impressive as all the grinding for mine

Continued from: x.com/Flip_Research/… I sat staring at my Binance account balance: $300K . It still didn’t feel real. $15K to $300K in a matter of months. This was starting to look like serious money. Part of me wanted to cash it all out and continue with my life. But that was never going to happen- I’d been thinking about crypto almost every waking hour of every day, and that wasn’t a switch I could just turn off. I HAD to find the next deal. VeChain came up in our chat. It had just ICOed, but we hadn’t given it serious thought because everyone was still so focused on WTC. I started looking into it properly, and wondered what I was missing. A charismatic founder in Sunny Lu, former CIO of Louis Vuitton, fluent English, project launch in 2015, and a collaboration with PwC. They appeared to be doing what WTC was doing, only better. This was a far easier narrative to sell. The more I looked into it, the more I came to the realisation: this was the one. There was only one small problem: there was no liquidity. VEN was only trading on a small exchange called Liqui, which is now entirely defunct. I had no idea who the owners were, whether it was safe, or whether I’d ever see my money again. But I had no other option, so I poured all my WTC gains onto the exchange. I spent days staring at the order books, manually filling any sell orders I could find. By the end, I’d done it: over a quarter of a million dollars in VEN, at around a $300M market cap. This was either incredibly brave or completely insane. Perhaps both. VeChain became my new obsession. I became a regular in the VEN Telegram channels, and eventually found my way into their whales group. My conviction bordered on fanaticism. VeChain would change the world. Their marketing was on another level too, constantly hinting and teasing announcements. The market loved it. Mindshare grew, and so did the price. In November, they got their first major exchange listing: Binance. The market cap jumped to over $1B. On paper, I was now sitting on over a million dollars, but it felt numb. Just numbers on a screen. Then in December, a new account appeared on Twitter: “The Coca Cola Kid”. He would post hints about VeChain partnership announcements. When those hints started coming true, the community went wild. Every tweet he posted seemed to make the price spike. It was incredible marketing. The market went into full mania mode. My bag doubled to $2M - I kept holding. January 2018 was peak bubble. TradFi outlets were talking about VeChain. The discussions in the VeChain whales group were less about the project now, and more about watches and sports cars. I was starting to get nervous. Coca Cola Kid was in full posting mode, teasing a big announcement. And the announcement turned out to be a big one: the VeChain staking program, the VeChain Thor mainnet launch, and a token swap from VEN to VET. The next couple of days were quite possibly the wildest of my life Off the back of the announcement, prices went parabolic, and so did my portfolio. I remember being out at dinner, and during the course of the meal my balance went from $3M to $4M - a day later, it was at $5M This didn't feel real. Warning bells were ringing in my head, but I couldn’t bring myself to sell. The volatility wasn’t all good either. Within a few hours, the price dropped 30%, and I was down $1.5M from the peak. Suddenly, the money felt much more real. It was devastating. I decided it was time to sell. At peak mania, my sells barely even moved the market. Late 2017/Early 2018 was the most magnificent market I’ve ever had the privilege to experience. Up only, with every ICO being profitable, just a modicum of DD needed. A few K into the RedPulse ICO- 20x in a week. WaBi- 5x. $200K into the Titanium BAR ICO, flipped for a 25% gain on TGE despite being a trash tier project (it later turned out to be a complete scam, and I think the founder is still in jail) Then there was Fusion. The founder was reportedly key to both VeChain and Qtum, but there was lots of skepticism over whether it was legit. So a friend and I arranged a video call with him. We literally didn’t listen to a word he was saying, all we cared about was whether his face matched the profile of who the founder was meant to be. It checked out, so I threw $600K into the ICO...+50% in a week. But it wasn’t all plain sailing. I also top-ticked one of the most hyped coins of the cycle, ICX, for a $200K loss. Honestly, I think my biggest win of the cycle was being almost completely in cash by the end of February 2018. My entire social circle was piling into crypto. Family members were asking me to invest for them. It was time to get out. Maybe that was luck more than judgement, idk Reflecting back, I think there are a few takeaways: - The time you put in directly translates to the outcome. It’s hard to explain just how much time and effort I put into crypto during that cycle. My routine involved sleeping in 2–3 hour stints, so I was constantly switched on. Without that, I’m sure I wouldn’t have built the conviction I did in my positions. - Inertia is a killer. If you think it’s time to buy or sell, just do it. Ask questions later. - Plan for success in advance. I did no tax planning, and ended up giving a chunk of my profits to the taxman. - Being a lone wolf is incredibly tough. ALWAYS find a group if you can. Multiple perspectives, different information channels, and shared motivation matter. I simply couldn’t have done it without that support. It’s also why I’m building a social app now, to help CT make those connectionsa and find alpha amongst the noise. - Don’t beat yourself up over the “what ifs”. I can always do the mental gymnastics to paint a picture of failure, but that’s human nature. Use it as fuel. - This is a young man's game. Now I'm older and with a kid, I just can't summon the same level of intensity and handle the level of risk that was needed to make it in that first cycle While I've had decent success after this, I haven't experienced anything close to that first cycle again. It was truly generational. I suspect it's not the last time it'll happen, but when it does happen again, it'll take a very different form. Hope you found this interesting and somewhat useful, please like/rt etc. Thanks for reading *Clarification* After looking back at my tx history, I realised my previous dates on WTC were wrong. I bought WTC in early September 2017 and sold in October/November on the rumours of the staking program. If I can make money while having the memory of a goldfish, you can too

Now that we have both Read and Write on @AlfaClubdotapp we can pinpoint EXACTLY where my @HyperliquidX goes wrong (usually at entry) & wen I should shut my mouth (usually at all times), thenceforth so I have developed a fool-proof plan to counter this, by creating a bot
