Keen to YOLO on a meme coin & buy a lambo? Looking for the next Shiba? Here's a quick guide [Thread]
1. Winners get to the party early & leave early

By the time you hear about the pump, it's too late. When it's run 10,000% up sure you might squeeze a bit of juice, but you will probably end up holding the bag

Mia Khalifa or Meek Mill tweeting about it? It's over. Don't touch it
2. Make sure you can actually exit

There's no point having 7 figures locked & loaded but you can't get out because

a) transaction (gas) fees will ruin you
b) there's just no liquidity in that unheard of meme coin
3. Resist the urge to run up leverage

The worst feeling in the world is getting wiped out & have your position closed because you couldn't hodl long enough to see Valhalla

This shit is already intrinsically leveraged, there's levels to being a degenerate
4. Own the keys, own the coins

Trust wallets/ metamask ++ transacting on pancakeswap/ uniswap will get you into some decent assets before they pump & get onto an exchange

More importantly, you're not running exchange risk with your "hard earned" coins
5. There's HEAVY survivorship bias

The guys you see turning $100 into millions are a tiny representative of a massive market where many folks aren't as fortunate

Soaking up 10,000% gains in a very short period is the exception rather than the norm
6. Diversify!

Shortlist a couple of coins/ tokens you feel could pop in the future & spread the risk

This isn't like stocks where you have tons of information & can size up on high conviction plays

This is a fucking lottery, treat it like one. Buy a shit ton of tickets
7. Don't buy the wrong coin!!

Right now there's a wave of unofficial LOKI, Shiba, Doge projects that purely exist to fuck you

If you're keen on a project, make sure it's THE project. Check the white papers (if any), social media feeds & the network addresses!
8. Whales can hurt you

If you're in on a project where there's a handful of people controlling the entire supply disproportionately or heavy stakes given to the devs... this can go bad real quick

Liquidity & concentration risk are key to watch for
9. Favour the deflationary assets

This isn't bulletproof but works more often than not. Look at the burn rates. Any assets (like Doge) that multiply in supply... always going to be tough in the long run.
10. Never trade money you can't afford to lose

When you're trading/ investing few things matter as much as size (size matters!)

100 bucks at a 80% return = 80 bucks
1000 bucks at a 10% return = 100 bucks

With a smaller account you find folks take on disproportionate risk instead of preserving capital - it usually ends badly
I bring this thread back at least once a month
Blackrock has $9.496 trillion in assets under management

Tag a % fee on that quantum & you can quickly see how size matters (& we aren't even counting the juice from front running Fed purchases)

Should you rent or buy? [Thread]
"You're paying someone else's bond"
"A house is not an asset"
"Landlords get rich in their sleep"

We have R15k property seminars, overpriced "beaches" in JHB, adult res blocks next to highways & SMEG giveaways when you blow R1m on a jail cell in Midrand

It's fucking exhausting!
"House prices always go up!"

Mostly true except not all properties are equally attractive. That Clifton pad IG baddies love tends to underperform the Midrand prison. Must be the garden furniture.

price bands, location, inland/ coastal & freehold vs sectional title all matter!

Developing relationships is incredibly important. Building authentic connections through organic interactions is even more important.

Few things are worse than "forced networking"
LinkedIn is a fucking cesspool, probably one of the worst places on the planet to develop a solid network

Looks like the SEC will allow the first US BTC ETF soon

If there's one lesson here, you will miss a shit load of opportunities idolizing washed up boomers who don't understand digital assets telling you to stay away

Remember this

There's an entire industry of people who do nothing else but earn a living talking about the market - movie critics

Then there's people who roll the dice, take a risk & ARE the market - the actors

Movie critics will never make you bank... but acting will
