Would really enjoy it if we could not spend too much time here but given holidays and Q4.... Going to assume it's chop-suey conditions on Bitcoin for a month or two. With that assumption, I wouldn't take any hail mary 100% move shitcoin setups. Mostly intraday or intraweek, doesn't make sense to stay exposed for long durations during chop conditions. Not good for the mental to watch uPnL pivot between green and red.

The cycle with no sustained outliers or runners because the field is littered with scammers, ruggers and KOLs who’ve managed to convince themselves that manipulating and extracting from their fellow man is part of the game. Villains and criminals.

It has occurred to me that people are confusing their meme coins as proxy for the trend of the crypto market. Our meme coins being down does not mean we're in a bear market. The meme coins being down is actually a combination of limited liquidity spread thin by low barrier-to-entry launches and extractive KOLs being good at extracting. Ex: a mediocre burglar but you keep your doors unlocked with zero cameras or other precautions. Too easy for people to mistake noise as signal. New wars, AI/SI, interest rates, etc. headlines every other day. The level is $78-81K, we could trade and consolidate here for a few weeks or months. Price not moving up as fast as you'd like is not bearish. Bull.

Loma shares the rules he follows before entering a new trade after a losing streak. "Whenever I get stopped out of multiple positions at a time, I almost always take a break, because that usually means the trend is in danger. I’ll take two or three or four days before I enter another trade. It usually will hover there for a couple of days, or it will continue to rapidly fall and eat shit. If one in ten trend breaks leads to a V reversal, then I only miss the move one in ten times. That means nine out of ten times I prevent myself from eating a massive loss, and I can just get in where I got stopped out." Feat. @Tradermayne & @LomahCrypto

everyone I know in crypto who has a conscience and actually cares about how they make money beyond just maximizing profits by any means necessary, (farming, scamming, bundling, rinsing their followers on vaporware, etc) is getting pretty jaded with crypto rn. and honestly, how can you not? this place has turned into a fucking cesspit of degeneracy where crime is literally applauded. every day, some frotnite faggot is flexing a 6fig bundle extraction pnl and getting praised like he accomplished something worth celebrating. pure speculation was fine when it was just one part of crypto, but now it’s pretty much all there is, and it fucking sucks.

This is burnout, and if you want to survive as a trader, you must learn to recognize it. True burnout is not just being overworked, nor is it something you can push through. It is a feedback loop that occurs when your body experiences intense, prolonged stress. Stress is part of life, and under normal conditions you can recover from it easily. In fact, many dimensions of human performance - strength, endurance, mental acuity - actually require stress in order to grow. However, growth in response to stress can only happen when the stress is manageable and offset by periods of recovery. When the stress is extreme and constant, the body fails to adapt and enters a downward spiral. As stress accumulates, several things happen physiologically: - sleep is disrupted - hormones become dysregulated - mental performance degrades - heart rate variability falls - inflammation rises and immune function declines The problem is that each of these effects also *reduces your ability to withstand and recover from stress.* So you enter a vicious cycle where recovery becomes impossible and performance steadily deteriorates. The experience @agapestride describes here is exactly what it feels like to burn out from trading. And if you find yourself in this situation, the most important thing you can do is *recognize what has happened.* You are not dumber than you used to be. You are not more indecisive. You are not more impulsive, fearful, or greedy. You are simply physiologically impaired by severe, chronic stress. When you notice the signs of burnout, you must prioritize recovery above all else: - cut your risk - stop looking at charts - get off social media - play sports or start running - spend time with friends and family - go hiking or traveling - take lots of hot baths As much as it feels like the best time to make generational wealth is RIGHT NOW, the market will always be here. So take a break and don't come back until you know your body can handle it.

Most traders never reach consistent profitability. In our new interview @LomahCrypto breaks down: • The moment everything clicked • How he manages risk • The habits that separate elite traders from everyone else Watch here:

Inevitable cleansing. Too many products competing for the same liquidity. Chains are a little easier to observe but you can extrapolate this to most alts as well. That 50th crypto casino or launchpad likely faces a similar fate.

Working a theory that bull market price action has changed in nature, from the previous cycles, because we’ve introduced a large amount of new participants while the older ones have retired or moved onto something else. The crypto cycles you knew, no longer exist.

People are way too comfortable buying plastic-ridden filler peptides sourced from some apocalyptic factory in Shenzhen that's inevitably going to send them straight into the 8D mesoamerican jigsaw puzzle realm that is their brain

Current class of trenchers suck. Nobody actually puts in any real meaningful effort. Majority of the effort is to track wallets and see what other KOL's are buying before they tweet about it. They just sit around waiting to be spoon-fed the next ticker. A generation of domesticated dogs that forgot they came from wolves.

Ref links are some of the least egregious forms of monetization possible. You save on fees. Your community saves on fees. You get a cut of the saved fees. The exchange benefits in volume by incentivizing you with the above. Stop caring about stupid people's opinions (including mine).

Periodic reminder to not get triggered by the legendary s-tier race bait the algo serves you daily You’re here to retire yourself & your family through investing, not pivot into being an npc for some entity trying to engineer your radicalization through highly provocative posts

God, I wanted it so bad back then. I’d try to run this back but everyone trades on an app where I have to shill low marketcap coins and do unethical nonsense. Times have changed. Washed Unc Loma arc.
