here is the mistakes to avoid losses in bullrun
10 of my friends made $100k+ last bull run.
9 of them ended it with almost $0 (including me).
Most people will end this bull market with $0.
They will make same mistakes that will cost them all profits.
Here're 15 mistakes to AVOID in bull markets 🧵👇
➮ I will reveal a secret that many are not even aware of - most of you will end this bull market with $0
✧ You will make preventable mistakes that cost life-changing wealth, and that's normal, everyone does it
✧ But you have a chance to avoid them by reading this thread:
➮ Framework is everything
✧ Most of us are here to make as much money as possible
✧ But few truly understand what they are doing
✧ Selling a blue chip to invest in a shitcoin or adding to a margin call, etc
But here's how it should look:
➮ You should have 3 portfolios:
1) Long-term with mostly blue chips, $BTC, and $ETH that are held on a cold wallet
2) Mid-term with alts from the current narratives of the cycle
3) Short-term, degen/gambling plays
Profits should rotate to strong and safe projects
➮ Nothing repeats twice in the same way
✧ There are really cycles in crypto, but that doesn’t mean you can repeat all the same actions and earn money
✧ Cycles are cyclical but play out differently, so stay flexible
The only thing that is always the same is human psychology
➮ Fundamentals over Pumpamentals
A bull market is all about speculations, so don’t overdo the analysis
Look for projects that can create hype, have an interesting story, and where people understand what they’re doing
Too much reliance on only fundamentals will get you wrecked
➮ TP/SL
✧ The most common issue is never taking profits (TP) and setting stop-losses (SL)
✧ And it mostly happens because we don’t have a specific plan before purchasing a token and just go with the flow
So, what should you do before investing:
➮ Before investing, define the goal of your investment and what you are doing:
• Degen/gamble
• Mid-term/narrative
• Solid/long-term
Based on this, you will be able to set TP and SL accordingly
➮ Riding Narratives
✧ The key to success in crypto is finding the narrative early
✧ And you need to ride them as hard as possible
✧ Find the trend, see the potential, invest, and take profits
➮ Too diversified/under diversified
✧ Diversification is necessary for a slightly larger portfolio
✧ But over- or under-diversification will lead to losing everything
✧ You can't keep up with that many projects, so focus on 5-10 projects
➮ Rotating Every Second
✧ Narratives last quite a long time in a bull market, from 3 to even 10 months
✧ So, don't rotate yourself out of profits
✧ Wait for the right moment for both investing and taking profits
Like if the trend appears in X too much, time to take profit
➮ Cognitive Biases
✧ One of the biggest mistakes for most people, including more experienced ones in crypto, is that they succumb to cognitive biases
To avoid this, you need to know them
There are too many, so I’m just leaving a thread with 20
➮ Fading Momentum
✧ Let’s say the token you didn't invest in has given a 100% increase
✧ Now you think it’s too expensive, and the price might give another 5x
✧ Remember, this is a bull market, and price is a narrative
So don’t hesitate too much

North Korean computer engineer Park Jin Hyok has been implicated in the $1.5 billion Bybit hack, identified as a member of the infamous Lazarus Group. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT, in collaboration with crypto analytics firm Arkham Intelligence, traced the attack to the group. Their findings connected the breach to prior Lazarus Group activities, including a $70 million exploit of the Phemex exchange in January 2025. This revelation underscores the ongoing threat posed by the group, known for its sophisticated cyberattacks targeting the cryptocurrency sector. Authorities continue to monitor and investigate the group's operations to prevent further financial losses.

🚨 $1.4B Bybit Exchange Hack Exposes Centralized Vulnerabilities 🚨
🚨 $1.4B Bybit Exchange Hack Exposes Centralized Vulnerabilities 🚨
A wake-up call for Web3 security.
Here’s what happened and why DePIN is the future. 🧵
1/ Feb 21, 2025 – Bybit suffers the largest Web3 breach in history, losing $1.4 billion in Ether (ETH) and staked Ether tokens.
2/ Reportedly, attackers used a sophisticated phishing scheme to manipulate a multisig cold wallet transaction through UI spoofing—tricking signers into approving a fraudulent transfer.
3/ While Bybit’s systems remained operational, this wasn’t a tech failure—it was a failure of centralized security.
Human oversight remains a weak link, exposing CEXs to social engineering attacks.
4/ The hack reignites the debate:
Custodial vs. Self-Custody.
🔹 CEXs = centralized control & human vulnerabilities
🔹 Self-custody & decentralized security = trustless & resilient
5/ CEXs are prime targets because they rely on human-controlled security layers.
Key weaknesses:
🔹 Phishing & social engineering
🔹 Single points of failure
🔹 Human errors in multisig approvals
Web3 security breaches soared 31.6% in 2024, with $2.36B lost across 760 on-chain incidents (CertiK).
6/ So, what’s the alternative?
Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) for cybersecurity.
Instead of trusting human signers, DePIN distributes security validation across a decentralized network.
7/ David Carvalho, CEO of Naoris Protocol:
"The Bybit hack exposes the systemic flaws of centralized security. Web3 cannot keep inheriting Web2’s vulnerabilities. A decentralized world needs decentralized security. The time for DePIN is now."
8/ DePIN eliminates single points of failure by distributing security responsibilities across a network.
This trustless, automated approach prevents human error from being exploited.
9/ Could Naoris Protocol have prevented the Bybit hack?
Yes.
With real-time decentralized validation, a centralized UI tampering attack would not be possible.
The fraudulent transaction could have been flagged before execution, preventing exploitation.
This approach eliminates the single point of failure that enabled UI tampering and removes the reliance on blind trust in human signers.
10/ Naoris Protocol is leading this shift.
📌 Post-Quantum DePIN Testnet for CyberSecurity & Digital Trust
✔️ 500K+ users
✔️ 2.5M+ transactions processed in week 1
11/ Despite the breach, Bybit's swift, transparent and professional response is praiseworthy.
CEO Ben Zhou assured users that all client assets are backed 1:1 and that the exchange remains solvent and operational, even if the stolen funds are not recovered.
This proactive communication has been crucial in maintaining user trust during the crisis.
12/ The Bybit hack proves one thing: Centralized security isn’t enough.
To build a resilient Web3, we must embrace decentralized cybersecurity solutions.
The future is here. 🚀

SOLANA UPCOMING LAUNCH
In 1956, George Adamson, a game warden in Kenya, was forced to kill a lioness who charged him in defense of her cubs. Moved by the tragic event, he and his wife Joy adopted the lioness’s three orphaned cubs, including a tiny lioness named Elsa. The Adamsons raised Elsa and her sisters, nurturing them with love and care. As Elsa grew, the Adamsons realized their unique opportunity to reintroduce her into the wild. They trained her to hunt, survive, and live independently.
Her story, along with her cubs’ lives, was immortalized in Joy Adamson’s books “Born Free” and “Living Free,” captivating readers worldwide. Elsa’s legacy continues to inspire conservation efforts and remind us of the incredible bond between humans and wildlife.

Donald Trump Wins 2024 Presidential Election, Defying the Odds with Historic Comeback
Donald Trump, 78, has been projected to win the 2024 U.S. presidential election, making a remarkable political comeback as the 47th president. Early Wednesday, projections showed Trump securing a commanding Electoral College lead over Vice President Kamala Harris, flipping key battleground states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. His victory is attributed to strong support from rural and working-class voters, along with notable gains among ethnic minority groups.

To be clear this is the cycle pattern.
“This is the Bitcoin cycle !”
Not so fast!
In 2016, 20,200 Bitcoin blocks after the halving, Bitcoin was hovering near the red-line support. This situation was more challenging than what we see today.
In 2020, 20,200 blocks post-halving, Bitcoin found itself between the green-line (linear regression) and the red-line support—exactly where we are now.
Fast forward to 2024, and 20,200 blocks after the halving, Bitcoin is once again positioned between the green-line linear regression and the red-line support, just like in 2020.
Conclusion: This cycle is not the worst—it's part of a historical pattern. Keep an eye on these trendlines, and let the data speak for itself.
