A lot of people bitch about whales, but small traders have advantages, too
1 = Time
You can use it like a shank and stick it in the sides of the less patient and/or more active traders by holding long-term
2 = Ability to enter tiny projects

It simply isn't worth a whale's time to look at low MC projects (say anything less than $10-$50 million)
There usually isn't enough liquidity there...
If you're holding $10m, putting $10k into a high-risk investment doesn't move the needle much
Sweet spot = entering a tiny project that's here for the long-term
I visualize projects as moving through plateaus. You can ride that climb
Plateau 1 = the true degen traders who buy tiny presales and do a lot of Uniswap flipping
Plateau 1 might get you to a $5 million MC
Plateau 2 = Medium-term traders who hold for a few months... Might see a project run to $40-$50 mil as it adds major exchanges and partnerships
Plateau 3 = Legitimized project w liquidity & potential to run from to the hundreds of mil
What's interesting is there are lulls between the plateaus
If you're paying attn to upcoming milestones, you can buy the dips as projects travel up the mountain
My absolute favorite thing to do is find a tiny cap I can farm. If you don't dump the tokens, it's like making a freely leveraged bet on a tiny project
Your # of tokens increases while the project lulls between plateaus
This all takes a lot of research time, though
If you don't have that time, best to buy accumulate mega caps and stick that time shank in the piggies

Lo, sers, I have been down in the crypto valley and stood upon the rapturous peaks
Down low, I exited two trades too early over the past 18 months. Both could have turned a few thousand $$$ into 7 figures had I pegged the top

I could focus on those and turn into a bitter biotch who over-trades and checks the charts every few minutes, but i’ve made plenty... enough even to give some $$ to my local homeless shelter this year
If I'm honest, when I think about “trading” cryptos, I sometimes feel perverse
I’m thinking gains while the very ground is trembling beneath our feet. I’m just happy sers to be alive and aware of what’s happening right now
We live in the land of plenty, and the playing field hath been leveled
tldr = $HEGIC isn't your typical options platform...
it's an options protocol, which take options from something that trades on CLOB-y centralized exchanges and turns them into the fabled "money legoes" Ethereans love
