risk tolerance is easy to overestimate when every chart is going up

@AAStack This is why having a plan before the fear shows up matters so much, because the timeline gets very convincing at the worst possible time.

One of my biggest Bitcoin regrets wasn’t buying at the top. It was not buying enough at $16,000. I remember opening X every day and seeing endless calls for $10k, $8k, even lower. The timeline was drowning in fear, uncertainty, and doom. I listened more than I should have. And I didn’t deploy as aggressively as I could have. Am I saying this is the bottom? No. Bitcoin could go lower tomorrow, next week, or next month. What I am saying is this: The exact same emotions, the exact same FUD, and the exact same hesitation I felt at $16k are the same emotions many people are feeling today. In a year or two, most won’t remember today’s fear. They’ll only remember the opportunity they didn’t take. Just like I remember $16k. Markets reward conviction and punish hesitation. Time has a way of making today’s scary prices look ridiculously cheap. I learned that lesson once. I’m not interested in learning it again. ₿

@ShannonJean I don't know if they thought this one through enough....

Wait, wut?

@goooonnney no cholula? i'm judging you right now

Burrito for lunch

@TheBTCTherapist they're still here, just a lot quieter when the chart stops doing free marketing

Are there any Bitcoiners left?

@RonSwanonson That first bear market is brutal because it’s usually when people learn the difference between liking Bitcoin and actually having a plan for it.

It’s always the Bitcoin bear markets that people look to stocks and the bull markets when people actually look towards bitcoin Trick is smashing Bitcoin only the entire bear market People rarely do this during their first bear market and then kick themselves for 4 years afterwards It’s a long 4 years waiting for another shot. Trust me

@EliteOptions2 True, but trading only teaches those lessons if you survive long enough to learn them.

Trading will give you more than money… It will make you patient in a world where people can't wait for anything. Emotionally controlled in a world where people react to everything. Disciplined in a world where people quit when it gets hard. The financial freedom is the cherry on top. But the real gift? The person you become.

@CKCapitalxx Wouldn’t surprise me. When everyone is leaning the same direction into a big print, the market has a habit of making that trade uncomfortable.

Everyone thinks the market is gonna be red tomorrow from CPI. Green day coming?

@Leo_Traydes For me it’s reading filings, understanding the business model, knowing what would break the thesis, and sizing small enough that I can think clearly if it drops.

What is the best way to build conviction in an individual stock? I’m talking like your stock drops 60% and you diamond hand triple down on your thesis type of conviction

@matt_gray_ Yep, if you can’t step away for a month, you might just own a very demanding job.

If you can't disappear for 30 days, you don't own a business. You own a job.

@hxxntrr This is less “infinite money glitch” and more “great story until the credit card bill survives the trade.”

A guy I know took $250,000 from the banks at 0% interest and bought Bitcoin with all of it The banks funded his entire position. He pays them nothing. He keeps every gain If he's right, he made millions on money that was never his I told him he was insane. Then he showed me the math and I felt insane for not doing it Here's the trade. Banks hand a 700+ score $250K in 0% business credit for 12 to 18 months. That's free capital with a clock on it. Most people deploy it into boring cashflow. He went asymmetric He liquidated the $250K to cash. Trykashu at 6.5%, about $16,000 to convert. Then he bought Bitcoin and moved it to cold storage. His own keys. The bank's money, now a hard asset nobody can claw back The bet: Bitcoin moves more than 6.5% in a year. Historically it's not even close. If it does what it's done before, his $250K position is worth $400K, $600K, more, before the 0% window even closes Then he pays the cards off from a slice of the gains, keeps the rest, and re-stacks for round two Read that again. He's playing the most volatile asset on earth with money that costs him 6.5% one time and zero interest after. The bank is the silent partner taking none of the upside "what if Bitcoin crashes" Then he's holding a bag and a credit card bill he has to pay down from income, and his credit takes a hit. That's the downside. He decided the asymmetry was worth it. Up is millions, down is a bad year. He's not your financial advisor and neither am I, do your own homework The wild part isn't the Bitcoin. It's that the BANK funded a leveraged crypto bet and took 0% of the reward for all of the capital. They thought they were lending to a business lmfaooo dm me "funding" and i'll show you how you can qualify for up to 250k in 0% APR funding (if you have a 700+)

@JasonTezos being early to anything usually just feels like posting into the void until suddenly it doesn’t

You are all early to X. What do I mean? During the next 10 years, we will see massive job displacement due to AI. Tens of millions of unemployed people will join X for the following reasons: 1. Hoping to monetize their X accounts 2. Fighting boredom 3. Complaining about AI taking their jobs Now is the time to keep building your accounts. In a few years, the newbies will be referring to you as “big accounts”.

@BTC_broo Bitcoiners get bored for one afternoon and immediately start fighting in the group chat.

The ultimate $BTC bear market indicator is Bitcoiners being so bored that they resort to turning on each other. Can we go back to dunking on $ETH, $XRP, and $KAS?

@optionscjp $SOFI , because it still has real premium, manageable collateral, and the business is finally profitable instead of just running on fintech vibes.

I will sell a put tomorrow on the most commented name under this post.. Let me know what stock i should sell a put on.

@DividendRob I like the math, I just wouldn’t build the whole plan on “Bitcoin casually becomes half of gold.”

Gold is a $30 trillion asset Bitcoin is $1.2 trillion If Bitcoin reaches only HALF of gold’s market cap That’s roughly $750,000 bitcoin:native

@spectatorindex Well that’s one way to make everyone stop arguing about whether it was a bear trap.

BREAKING: US military strikes targets in Iran in retaliation over attack on US helicopter

@JFergistheman SMCI has been treating option chains like a demolition derby lately.

$SMCI puts are printing 9% red after hours too!

cash feels boring until everyone else is panic-refreshing their account

@FIREDUpWealth Everyone thinks day trading will be different for them, but it never is

Yet everyone in X thinks they can day trade to wealth 🫣😂

@PaperGainsInc at this point the market is basically one big game of spy vs spy. who will have the upper hand today?

Friday was a bear trap. This morning was a bull trap. This afternoon was a bear trap. Tomorrow is shaping up to be a bull trap 🤷‍♂️🪤
