”BTC vs GOLD: There will never be more than 21m BTC, there will be more gold found How much does bitcoin cost to store and secure? How much does gold cost to store and secure? How much does it cost to travel with btc across borders? How much does gold cost to move? The world is increasingly digital. Everyone will want to own 1 bitcoin, nobody will be talking about owning a gold bar. As boomers meet their deaths, and they will, their children will trade gold for BTC. ”

”Best traders aren't those who always have positions open (open a position should be the exception, not the norm). They are the ones who know when to bid, and when to be patient.
Wait for a good setup with good R/R on relative strength coins”.

”My #1 change to become a lot more profitable of a trader was just admitting I have no edge when the trend breaks.
Lean forward when things are trending and there’s volatility (trade with size and more often).
Sit back when that dies down (reduce size and frequency of trades).
Changed everything for me”

”Do the oposite of what people say.
Lock in during the dead periods. That’s where most opportunity lies. Make plans (IF -> THEN). Actions those plans.
Most people are bored and not paying attention. They will come back without a plan, clueless, with tons of FOMO, chase everything under the sun, run it up briefly, have no exit plan, and give it all back to the market”

Be honest, do you deserve one?
Take a break when you’ve earned it”

”Doubt it’s a hot take, but most people use stop losses wrong and get stopped out from regular swings of volatility rather than the actual trade invalidation.
Being able to identify this (via not oversizing relative to your risk tolerance in the first place) is a fairly easy fix that most people choose to ignore”

”None of us really know anything at the end of the day. We are just speculating, and forming a thesis around our trade ideas and experiences in the market.
Sometimes we are right, and sometimes we are wrong. Thats just how it goes.
Just keep the losses small, eliminate the big ones, and the rest will work out for you. Stack the wins over long periods of time and you'll get to your end goal”

I always think of it like a sport. You have to know when to play offense and when to play defense. Some people are really good at one or the other, but you have to develop both skills”

”
You missed a play.
You bought the top.
Etc etc.
If you treat trading like gambling you don’t actually get much better, every trade is just a roulette spin.
But if you treat it like a craft, and continuously learn and improve, it’s no longer gambling, it’s a game.

”The only thing you need to be successful in crypto or any financial field is mastering bet size & EV. When you accomplish mastery in those two, consider everything else taken care of.
Asset selection is part of EV+: minimizing downside + maximizing upside. Bad assets dont have a lot of upside most of the times.
On the sizing part: journaling or even just self-reflecting helps. It's more philosophical but think about how you feel being leveraged an X amount of portfolio vs not leveraged at all, or underexposed, or overexposed. The game of trading is limitless and you should aim to develop your own style. Over time, you learn to not oversize / undersize on things when you subconsciously say to yourself, "this feels bad when I do this”

”There’s nothing wrong with copying a trade - we all learn by watching others, but there’s a big difference between understanding a thesis and borrowing conviction.
One means you’ve internalized the why, the risks, the invalidation. The other leaves you guessing, shaken out by noise, short-term volatility, and constantly seeking reassurance because the conviction was never yours to begin with ”

”I got my areas of interest on charts clear and planned.
May not get these prices, don’t care. I had a great month and I’m not giving back my gains bidding suboptimal levels (in my opinion). Test key S/R , present dips with major liquidations, good entry levels with exceptional R/R, and I’m in”

”Start thinking of trading like playing with a rubber band.
When everyone's pulling hard (prices stretched high), that's when you ease up. When it snaps back and no one wants to touch it—that's your moment to buy.
The best traders know: max tension = min buying, slack = stack”
- @Mamba248x
”As a full time trader, there's obviously a desire to catch every move. The reality is other things will always come into play.. family, sleep, work, exercise, hobbies, etc.
There's a lot of people who are likely skilled enough to catch the majority of moves if they were able to sit at the screens 24/7, but this obviously isn't realistic.
The best you can do imo is try to find a balance. When you have a very confident read, simply leave limit orders. When you're uncertain, but want to be in and have time to monitor, monitor and try to find entry. And when you want to be in, but don't have a perfect read, leave limits at "greedy" levels you believe are likely to hold. You may not get filled, but it's worth a try. Layering bids is also another option if you don't mind some drawdown and play a bit wider stops. It really depends on the trader.
The worst thing you can do though is try to be in every trade no matter what. The result will typically be you giving back gains from your very confident trades by taking mediocre ones”

”Never in my life I understood that obsession some people have of bagholding some coin while it bleeds to zero in hopes of a bounce to exit at break-even.
Just cut it and move onto the next plays if it has no signs of life, no? And if that baghold that you cut finally reverses and your thesis starts plays out - get back in on positive trend w clear defined SL and RR.
The worst thing a trader can do in my opinion is to marry the bag and the bias and lock capital into some stuff, while stopping paying attention to new opportunities that rise out there pretty much every single day just bcs he looks at chart of that bleeding coin every 15 minutes daily in hopes that this was the bottom”

”On final stages of a bullmarket or heated season:
We are entering the kind of market where day trading and getting emotional over hourly candles is just going to limit your profitability.

”If you are having struggles trading, I cant recommend enough than moving up the timeframes.
If you usually trade the 5m, go to the 15m, if you do 15m, go to the 1h, 1h to 4h, 4h to Daily etc.
The higher the timeframe, the better the signal.
Find trades where multiple timeframes point to the same direction. If you are taking a trade on the 1H and it is at support, but on the 4H, it is at resistance. It's probably a bad trade.
Then when you have a big enough bankroll you dont even have to worry about the little boy shit on the LTF and can trade the weekly and monthly while vacationing on the beach”
