Trades, memes and dreams. Let's start again, shall we?
What I intend to share and talk about: - High conviction trades with clear theses - Models and workflows for approaching crypto markets - Meditation and managing my own mind - Research/resources I find generally helpful in my trading journey - Goofy memes and writings
This is a new beginning. I have been through 2 phases in my trading journey: 1. Knowing nothing, making some money and losing it all. 2. Knowing something, making a lot of money and losing it all. This is phase 3. I'm not a pro. Yet.
It's a tragedy that we spend so much of our lives stepping over the present moment, in search of a moment in which we can finally be present.
Solana trenchers will see 5 people queueing for a coffee and call it a 'community'.
"It is what it is" seems clichéd until we truly learn to accept things as they are. Acceptance is freedom. It is detachment from the illusion of control. It is detachment from the idea that, in this moment, the world could be any other way.

Started new wallet and took my first trade. Tiny size. Current plan is to focus on win rate then as confidence builds, improve avg. % returns. Tbh could be weeks before I share a trade. I need to be willing to work for that bag.
Sending a clear message to yourself & not being a degenerate You received a tremendous gift which is being able to function in a body/energy machine that is capable of sustaining high levels of consciousness Now disciplining your emotions, doing inner work, inner development,…
I have given away more money than I currently have, funny to think about and probably not a bad thing. Better in the hands of people that needed it.
I’m growing increasingly allergic to what’s happening with lets bonk. Perhaps not a good frame of mind for a trader. But we’re seeing identical copies pump because “they’re on bonk”. Why should I be bullish on vamps? That’s not culture or community, it’s a lack of ideas.
If the Bonk eco is proving anything it's that network, narrative and holder dynamics matter much more than the meme itself. It is what it is, but the whole thing has been one giant vamp attack. If I were Alon I'd crank up rewards and start cabaling select memes, OGs ideally.
Gonna start trading again in August. 1 sol and the will to just enjoy it. If I can’t sleep properly, am glued to charts, anxious and spending all day thinking about my trades, I’m doing it wrong.
In my teens I played tennis quite competitively. By far the greatest breakthrough I had was learning how to play ‘point by point’. Of course, if I was on the cusp of losing a match I might play more defensively, but all the same, it’s a useful analogy for how one should trade.

The Praying Mantis does not see itself as camouflaged, but as one with the world’s changing hues, and to see the world through Mantis eyes is to understand that we are inseparable from it.

Will come back to this later if i take the trade. But from an actual meme stand point #memesai captures AI domination narrative best. The ticker thesis is valid as long as memes and Ai are a thing, and there are still the warm embers of a community. Need to look at holders.
When Fartcoin breaks ATH I think some of the slop bot tokens make a come back. My favourite is #memesai

Just a reminder that AI is going to take over our hearts and mind. I would stay very tapped into crypto x AI... the meta is coded to come back more aggressively than before (@baseapp integrating @bankrbot - which AI's will be bought up by other major exchanges? )

I imagine many have been in the same spot. Capable enough to make sense of markets but lacking the discipline and self awareness to execute over time. @Innerdevcrypto speaks on this a lot. I have been in and out of my meditation practice. From here it's a non-negotiable.

You don't need wealth or the recognition of others to appreciate the work you have already done. Portfolio: ATL Knowledge and experience: ATH It's not linear.
