I've been here since 2017 and spent thousands of hours in this space.
Here's something I've learned for every year I've been here - as it was fun to do on stream the other day.
Stay a while and listen, friend.
2017
Clueless and retarded.
I learned how much greed and speculative premium are ripe in crypto.
I learned that we trade attention mostly and ideas; so applying my former skills looking at discounted cashflows of projects was... dumb.
Those who remember "Disney coin" aka $DRGN will have a fond memory of how a dumb narrative can fuel ridiculous returns.

My thoughts on $PAAL: why I have a bag & think it's good project.
First thread I've done in a while so if you like it share it.
$PAAL is an AI ecosystem that enables anyone to create multiple AI bots for free and deploy them across platforms like Discord & Telegram.
The bot can research projects and execute trades for you.
So you're a terrible trader and didn't 100x your portfolio like everyone else in this move?
Lets take a step back and really look at things a bit more objectively, and hopefully make you feel a little better.
Firstly, trust no one. Not even me.
First screenshot? Taken from someone else... but I bet you assumed it was mine.
Secondly, this is the rest of that screenshot:

Off the top of my head, some $ALT areas I'd be interested in next cycle, or in an interim echo bubble.
1/N
$ETH - doubt I need to explain this one.

Thread on going 10X+ on $ALTS.
A memoir of a $RUNE maxi and how I:
a) made lovely returns (600x from first buys; but far less on average)
b) bag-held some -95%
I honestly thought I could bring my technical investment appraisal background (from corporate M&A) into this space... how wrong I was!
Anyway...

When I'm scalping $BTC on the 1-15m I usually take the higher timeframe context into how aggressive or not I trade.
What do I mean? Pretend I longed here off a clear momentum shift (they are NOT valid divs).
Is this a reasonable target? Hold forever? Generational bottom?
If you zoom out a little, the hourly is in a clear downtrend.
Very simple - very easy to see.
Now - are you a bottom catcher or a trend follower? Do you keep shorting this or are you looking for reversals?

* Thread - Using Spaghetti to gauge when to risk on/off with $ALTS *
Gauging Altcoin reactions to large #Bitcoin moves is actually easier than you think. Let's take these 4 $BTC dip and run through.
RT's appreciated.
(1/6)
Dip 1: Looking at the initial reaction, you can see pretty explicitly that the market was not risk-on with alts. This was one of the main reasons I continued playing shorts on alts and looking for further downside.
Here's why I'm so bullish on it and expect such a return:

Relative strength in action.
$THETA and $MATIC pumped.
Take them out, what's next? $SOL / $VET / $ADA.
$SOL / $BTC
Breakout -> retest -> acceleration.
This chart will look like the $THETA chart soon.

* My learnings, threads and personal approach to crypto *
Going to stick this as my pinned tweet and leave anything I think is useful in a thread; particularly for new people who follow me.
This is me, what I do an how I approach the market.
I am lucky enough to have the time to be able to dedicate myself to different ways of extracting value from this market.
So a little thread... here goes !
Roughly, it’s split equally like so:
-Scalping low timeframes (25%)
-Swing trading alts (25%)
-Investing in low market cap projects (25%)
-Holding spot BTC and ETH (25%)
I’ll cover each and some of the things that I think are key / I’ve learned.

January Trading Results – A thread. TLDR:
- 15 trades closed in the period, 7 still open.
- Win/Loss of 47% for a total account gain of 35%
- This does not include long term holds (e.g. $RVN, $THETA, $RSR)
- This does not include my scalping account, which I degen 10x $BTC

I started disciplined trading in December. I have usually bought quality projects (and some scams) and gone for x’s. I’m now journaling all of my trades and trying to hone this craft. I have already learned a LOT from simply reviewing my trades:
