Please remind me of the following in the 2023/24 Bull Market.
1. Work Hard. 2. Stay Humble. 3. Be Consistent -whatever the market conditions. 4. Protect your integrity at all costs. 5. Protect your audience at all costs. 6. Be over-transparent all the time.
1/
7. Make many mistakes - Be honest when you do. 8. Fail fast & try again, fast. 9. Grow those that grow the family. 10. Work with cool people , only. 11. Listen to criticism- even from the smallest accounts. They saw $LUNA, you didn't.
2/
12. If you're being attacked, you're doing it right. 13. Invest in networks and fundamentals, not momentum. 14. Big funds usually haven't done a DD. 15. If you feel like buying, sell. 16. If you feel like selling, buy.

Last night’s FOMC & aggressive posturing by the FED is just noise , shouldn’t affect your investment thesis at all, and, specifically in this industry it may actually be the biggest opportunity of your life!
Here’s why, a 🧵….
1/10
The global markets & the FED are currently fixated on inflation, interest rates, supply chain disruptions etc.
These are all short term issues that will be resolved in the next 12-24 months.
2/10
In this period, as Powell said last night, the FED will adopt an aggressive approach. They will tighten “until something breaks”. When it does ,they will fix it “using their tools” , namely money printing and quantitative easing.
Over 70% of people that have invested in Crypto are down on their investments today.
If you are part of that 70% you, this thread may help you get some perspective.
1/8
2/ Firstly, note that you are viewing your portfolio after the biggest crypto collapse of all time. Over $2trillion has been wiped! We may not be at the bottom, but we are certainly nearer to the bottom! In a few weeks or months, your portfolio will probably look better.
3/ 70%+ of crypto investors are now underwater. You are not alone. The other 30% consist mainly of OG’s and others that invested early. In this case early doesn’t only mean cheap, it means early enough to learn from multiple bull and bear markets.
Capo has been around for a while and previously wasn't very accurate or well known.
To his credit, he did call this crash very very well! He called the market down & rode his call to the bottom, just like many called the market up to the top.
1/13
But, like those that called the market up and continued on the narrative even once the market turned, Capo found his narrative calling the market down & as the market went down, he built a following and momentum, but also got trapped in a narrative, "down"!
2/13
Once the liquidations subsided & market started to turn, I tried to respectfully highlight a point using the data (below)!
My tweet was responded to with attacks and aggression and I was told to go and look for engagement elsewhere.
(Probably won’t win me any points with the community and will definitely hurt my bags!)
A thread 🧵…
1/ Crypto is all about a magic combination of:
- identifying ideological problems.
- creating a technology to solve them.
- building a community of passionate developers to build amazing products to solve the problems.
- building a passionate community of investors and users.
2/ $LUNA did all of this around the problem of centralized, collateralized, stable money. Developers, Investors and users all wanted a truly decentralized stable money! (And they also wanted to earn 20% on it risk free 🤣)
As a 2015/19 double Crypto bear market survivor, the biggest lesson I learnt is that beating a bear market is about one thing; PATIENCE.
All you need to do is SURVIVE until it turns & trying to rush a bear market will wipe you out. Here are a few other tips that may help. A 🧵...
1/Firstly, come to terms with the fact that the bear market will last way longer than you anticipated, just like the bull market ended way sooner than you predicted. A bull market is a sprint, a bear market is a marathon. Prepare yourself mentally for a tough road ahead!
2/Stop looking at the screen. Checking prices in a bull market is fun, it re-affirms what a genius you actually are 🤣! In a bear market it will not only distract you from the fundamentals but sudden temporary price declines may also cause you to panic and sell.
