What makes you think crypto doesn’t have more in store?
~2T total mcap
You’ll be around when ~2027 sparks the next wave of asymmetric capital building opportunities.
Zoom out.
What’s 3-5 years of full focus and commitment compared to 40 years in a regular job?
Be ready to catch the next narrative, whatever it may be.

Don’t quit.

Crypto builds capital. Stocks protect and grow it.
Trade crypto actively (clean setups only), time the market phases (timing beats time), stack the profits in cash (cash is king). Then let stocks (world ETF) do the slow, boring, compounding work, dividends reinvested, wealth built over time.

Crypto is looking strong relative to the broader market here.
I like what I’m seeing.
But we’re still in the range, so I’m staying underexposed for now.
Looking to DCA more into BTC, ETH, and SOL. Keeping a bit of ZRO exposure as well, just in case.
Stocks: not much to do right now.
Just sticking to my monthly ETF savings plan and letting it ride. Would like to see an SPX correction toward 6k first.
Circle has been a solid short term trade so far. Also keeping an eye on Nintendo (HTF trend).
Otherwise, the focus is on sports.
Enjoy your week.

Regarding your 20s
Maybe younger generations have it harder. Or maybe not. Either way, we live in an age of comfort, constantly fed negative news from around the world by the digital era.
I feel like a part of the younger generation, especially those in their early twenties, is stuck scrolling, complaining about a bleak future, and chasing a part time work life balance because they feel robbed of their future. Screens, constant news, and negative headlines are shaping their mindset more than they realize. Panic is a product, and you are the consumer.
I mean, you can take control. In a generati

I read a report where older people were asked: If you were in your 20s again, what would you do? Almost all of them came to the same conclusion. They said they should have simply done what they truly wanted and taken the risk to do it.
Without overthinking it or planning everything endlessly, because life passes by too quickly. Later on, you start a family, you work a lot, and you get caught in a routine, an everyday cycle.
Just do it. Take risks and do what you actually want to do. You have to find the courage to simply start and free yourself from the things that make you unhappy in your 20s

A healthy body sets the foundation for everything, discipline, focus and mindset. If you can’t control your body, it becomes much harder to control your mind and your trading routine. That’s why I also talk about sports and physical habits here. The habits you build through sports and daily physical activity directly translate into better performance in trading.
Achieving financial freedom through consistent, profitable trading requires an enormous amount of discipline and structure. And if you can’t build that discipline through your daily physical habits, how do you expect to build it in tra

The next three months can change everything.
Make them count, don’t waste them procrastinating.

AI takes the busywork. Humans stay irreplaceable.
- some personal thoughts
The more I see dystopian, doomer style posts, almost euphoric, even schadenfreude driven, claiming AI will take every job and leave nobody employed, the more convinced I am that real human interaction is exactly what has a future.
Every time I’m stuck talking to an AI on the phone, it’s frustrating. When someone says teachers can simply be replaced by AI, that’s nonsense. When I hear that AI will eventually run all the dynamics of our society, that’s nonsense too.
We function as a society because we engage with each ot

Somewhere in this mess, the next cycle's winners are quietly building their watchlists, refining their levels, and sitting mostly in cash, waiting for the setup everyone else will be too exhausted, too emotional, or too paralyzed by their own analysis to take. When the boring accumulation window opens, patience becomes asymmetric. Until then, protect your capital and stop letting your timeline think for you.

Something worth understanding right now is the relationship between crypto and macro, because if you're only reading charts you're missing half the picture in this environment.
For most of crypto's history the market was largely self referential. Price moved on narratives, onchain activity, whale movements, exchange flows. That world still exists but it's been layered underneath a much bigger one since institutions and ETFs entered the space properly. Now BTC responds to tariff announcements, Fed commentary, geopolitical risk, equity correlations, things that five years ago had zero impact on

Most of my DCA orders are placed lower, so I’m betting this is just a relief bounce within a broader downtrend, chop, chop, chop in a ranging market.
Patience.

There's a version of procrastination in trading that nobody really talks about because it disguises itself as productivity. You spend hours watching YouTube breakdowns, reading threads, saving chart screenshots, bookmarking setups, telling yourself you're learning. And you are learning, to some extent. But at some point the learning becomes a shield against actually doing the thing, and you don't notice when you cross that line because it still feels like progress.
The gap between studying the market and trading the market is enormous, and no amount of preparation fully closes it. At some poin

BTC broke below 63k overnight, trading around 63k now. Fear index at single digits, 22 consecutive days in extreme fear. ETF outflows at 3.8 billion over the past 5 weeks. 468 million liquidated in the last 24 hours, 93% of that longs. The trigger was Trump's 15% global tariff announcement plus the Iran situation escalating again. Macro selling across the board, Nasdaq down, S&P down, risk assets getting dumped. Crypto follows.
The 60k level I've been watching is now the line that matters. If that holds we're still in a range. If it breaks, 53k area is the next real support and that's a

How to stay motivated during phases like this where the market isn't really giving much.
Curious, what keeps you engaged when things are slow? Studying charts, building capital elsewhere, working on other projects, or just taking a break entirely?
How are you spending your time right now?

I don’t perform well in downtrends, and I’m honest about that. My strength is doing deep research during long, quiet accumulation phases, and I consistently perform best during expansion phases. So I structure my strategy around my strengths: in downtrends I stay patient and protect capital, in accumulation phases I research and build positions more aggressively, and during expansion phases I become highly active and trade every day. And this framework applies to my entire approach across all financial markets.
Something I want to talk about is how I actually decide whether a week (LTF)
