There are certainly moves I made that I wish I did different in some respect but also there are bills and all this other BS in the real world to take care of. I consult with a guy who is 70 now and I got him into crypto in 2014 and the fact that he had all these other businesses established he was just able to buy a sizeable stack at various times and it really paid off but in fairly short conversations he was able to just summarize these projects that had a lot of runway and just buy what I was saying and just set it and forget it and focus on his other businesses. Then when things pop off he kind of looks at it again.
In 2015 there was a Bitcoin whale in Tucson and we had a Bitcoin meetup and he was a Bitcoin Maxi at that time and I asked him if he was into any other projects like Ethereum and he said he wasn't and, "I'm looking at the bigger picture."
I personally thought that was risky just to have all his eggs in one basket from a code perspective but as of right now that would have played out well for him because he would have gotten all those forks and Bitcoin has remained on top currently.
It's always hard to fully know.
With the amounts I had in at various times I felt like I had to get riskier and fortunately I hit some serious bangers with DOGE, BNB, CAKE, and many others. This last cycle wasn't fun and getting on FOMO this fall was the most fun I had in years in crypto.
GTA6 Memecoins are jumping on there right now because we are 1 week away from release but they are all fighting for supremacy so people are getting crushed if they pick the wrong ones.
I might reenter the trenches with $200 but in a lot of ways it's not a good time when the broader market is getting pulled down and all the Nvidia CEOs girlfriends are coming out of the woodwork.
Yeah, I used to make fun of the BTC Maxi's, but they are looking pretty smart right about now.
It's all timing. Michael Saylor is upside down on his Bitcoin play. So is he smarter than us for being a maxi or just has access to more money?
Someone could have went heavy 5 years ago in Nov 2021 on Bitcoin and barely be up today and completely lost to inflation.
This game isn't easy that's for sure.
I think what is toughest about it is even if you are a superior trader you often don't get the credit for it because the majority of people took the losing side of the trade so they resent you or they attribute what has happened to some other event.
For instance my Bull Trap thesis turns out to be right but I know how people think. They will take the credit away from me and then say WELLLLLLLL..... it was because Binance got hacked or NVidia's CEO fucked a Spy so Brian just had a lucky guess with his antics.
yeah, that is probably true!
