[D’s Note #98] You already have the key
Sometimes, I find myself stuck in a messy room.
Filled with old stuff.
Advice.
Expectations.
Other people's opinions.
And there are thoughts that I no longer recognize myself.
What is the most familiar reflex then?
I go looking for more advice.
Like a lost person keeps running around –
not to find the exit,
but to find someone to say:
"It's okay. You're on the right track."

D’s Insight #10: Don’t change direction – change your perspective
Have you heard the story of 'Acres of Diamonds'?
A classic personal development story — old, familiar, and easily overlooked.
Its content is like this:
A farmer heard news of diamonds being discovered in Africa.
He sold the farm, left his family, and set off to seek his fortune.
Wandering for many years.
Finding nothing.
Eventually, he threw himself into the river to commit suicide.
At the same time, the new owner bought the farm...

[D’s Note #126] Pain is real – but the role of victim is a choice
There are times I was truly harmed.
Misunderstood.
Rejected.
Interrupted right when I was excited to share.
And the feeling of 'being a victim' seeps into my heart,
to be gentle like a ballad – soothing,
but... toxic.
It whispers:
"It's okay, you have the right to be sad.
The one who is wrong is not you."
I believe it.
I lingered in that pitiful emotional puddle for a while.
Then a little longer.

[D’s Market #155] Trading: The Real Privilege in the Crypto World and in Life
On the journey of exploring crypto and oneself, I have realized one thing:
Trading is truly a privilege.
Sounds strange.
But history has always been the clearest proof.
Four hundred years ago, the Plymouth pilgrims crossed the ocean with dreams of wealth.
What welcomed them was not gold and silver.
But hunger and despair.
They could not be self-sufficient as they initially imagined.
Their existence

[D’s Note #21] Honesty is easy - sincerity is hard
I used to think honesty was a simple thing.
No lying.
No cheating.
No fabricating.
Like taking a test without looking at the paper next to you—simple and clear.
Coincidentally, I read a quote from Richard Feynman:
"The first principle is that you must not deceive yourself - and you are the easiest person to fool."
At that moment, I felt a chill.
Not because this statement is too new.
But because it’s true in a... uncomfortable way.

[D’s Insight #9] Don't search for passion – follow your energy trail
Elizabeth Gilbert once stood at the peak of the world with the book Eat, Pray, Love.
But also from that peak, she fell freely.
People demanded the next novel to be worthy.
But Gilbert couldn't write a single word.
Not because of lack of talent.
It's because the old flame of passion has gone out.
Gilbert didn't try to find back her passion for writing.
Instead, she followed the only thing that still had some energy:
a small basil plant in the garden.

[D’s Note #82] I was wrong, but still tried to play the right role
There are times when I realize I'm not really investing in the market.
I'm just… playing a role – called 'the one who was right.'
On optimistic market days, I don't look for signals to exit my trades.
I'm just looking for reasons not to sell.
Just because… I once declared that I was right.
And I don't want to embarrass that confident guy inside me.
What about when the market is pessimistic?
I'm not waiting for a new obvious opportunity.

D's Insight #4: Unlimited Potential Within Each of Us
by 0xdungbui
Everyone wants to grow. Everyone wants to reach the best version of themselves. But very few actually do it. Not because we aren't good enough, but because we lack the courage to step through a simple yet uncomfortable thing: the comfort zone.
The problem isn’t with ability. It lies in this: growth is painful. And pain is something everyone hates.
Phil Stutz and Barry Michels clearly stated in their book The Tools: the comfort zone makes you feel comfortable, but it is also the tiny prison that holds you back. All the things you truly desire—confidence, success, meaning, freedom—they do not lie within that cozy circle. They lie on the other side of discomfort.

READING THE TRAIL, NOT GUESSING THE FUTURE
🎯 Guessing the future is a game of chance. Reading the present is a skill. Good investors do not try to predict what will happen – they pay attention to what is happening.
💡 The market does not stay silent. It leaves traces: prices, cash flow, unusual behavior. There are no miracles, only observation and preparation. When you stop waiting for the “perfect signal” and start focusing on the real facts, you will see more clearly.
🔑 The core message: You don’t need the ability to prophesy. You need the ability to recognize. Reading the trail does not give you certainty, but it helps you move in the right direction before the majority catches on.
—
🔍 No need to prophesy,
📊 The signs are already clear,
🎯 Just look right.

OVERCOMING LIMITS
🎯 The laws of nature show that to develop strength, one must confront and surpass their own limits. This not only requires effort but also the ability to endure difficulties. Growth does not come from comfort, but from challenges and moments of overcoming pain to reach new heights.
💡 Pain is an inseparable part of this journey. Each time you push past a limit, you become stronger not just physically, but also mentally. Pain signals progress, indicating that you are leaving your comfort zone to achieve greater accomplishments. What matters is not just accepting it, but transforming it into motivation to continue growing.
🔑 The core message: To have true strength, you must dare to face and overcome your own limits. Success does not come from avoiding difficulties, but from confronting and surpassing them. Only by overcoming pain can you develop lasting strength.

🔥 Strength is born,
💪 Overcoming great pain,
🌱 Limits dissolve.

RISK CONTROL IN THE MARKET
🎯 William O'Neil summed up the secret to success in the stock market by saying, "The whole secret to winning in the stock market is to lose as little as possible when you're not right." This quote emphasizes the importance of risk management and minimizing losses when you're faced with bad decisions.
💡 The market is full of uncertainty. Even the best investors aren't always right. The key isn't to be right all the time, but to manage your losses when you're wrong. An effective strategy requires strict risk management, cutting losses quickly, and not letting one bad decision drag on and cause major damage to your account. Protecting your capital helps you maintain your investment ability and gives you a chance to recover in subsequent trades.
🔑 Core Message: Success in the markets does not come from being right, but from minimizing the risk of being wrong. Disciplined and effective risk management is the key to long-term success. Capital preservation should always be the top priority of every investor.

ADAPTABILITY TO CHANGE
🎯 Adaptability is always more important than planning. As Charles Darwin pointed out, it is not the strongest or the smartest species that survive, but the one that is most adaptable to change. This is true not only in nature but in all aspects of life and career.
💡 In life, adaptability is the quality that determines success. Like an explorer, you cannot set off with the expectation that the sea will always be calm or the path will always be smooth. Instead, what you need is faith in your ability to improvise when facing storms and chaos. Whether you are an investor or a trader, rather than expecting the market to always follow your plan, be ready to adjust your strategy when confronted with unforeseen fluctuations.
🔑 Core message: Do not rely too much on plans or intelligence, but trust in your own adaptability. Life is an unpredictable journey, and flexibility along with the willingness to face change is the key to overcoming obstacles and achieving long-term success. Instead of clinging to certainty, build your improvisation skills – that is the true strength in a constantly changing world.

ENJOY THE JOURNEY
🎯 Life is a long journey with countless outcomes, but the time we actually spend reflecting on those outcomes is only a small part of it. If all our focus is on the destination, we will easily miss out on the rich experiences along the way, making life shallow and meaningless.
💡 Instead of focusing on the end result, focus on the process you are going through. Because the process – with its daily moments, ups and downs, challenges, and small joys – is actually the majority of our existence. What we learn, feel, and experience along the way is what gives real value. Life is not just about the milestones, but about how we live and feel each step of the journey.
🔑 Core Message: Life is not just about the outcome, but also about how we enjoy the journey. Live each moment to the fullest, embrace both joy and challenge, because that is the most part of existence and the true value of life. When you know how to enjoy the journey, you will find happiness not only in the destination, but in every step.

🌿 The process is long,

PLAN FOR THE UNEXPECTED
🎯 "The most important part of any plan is to plan for the situation where the plan does not go as planned." – Morgan Housel emphasizes that flexibility and preparation for surprises are the keys to a successful plan.
💡 Every plan can encounter obstacles or changes due to factors beyond control. Instead of focusing solely on a perfect plan, having backup scenarios is a way to remain proactive when facing unexpected situations. When you have contingencies in place, you can respond flexibly and stay on track even when things do not go as desired. This not only helps you maintain stability but also allows you to seize new opportunities that arise in unforeseen circumstances.
🔑 Core message: Don’t just focus on a perfect plan; be prepared with contingency plans when things don’t go as expected. Flexibility and adaptability are the strengths that help you overcome surprises and maintain progress toward your goals. A good plan is not one without flaws, but one that is prepared for unexpected changes.

[#113] The Competition Between Blockchains: The Future Belongs to Assets, Not Technology
Imagine you are living in the 1990s. Nasdaq and NYSE were not just places to trade stocks. They were symbols of American finance. But now, few care where their stocks are listed. What matters more is what assets you own.
In the world of crypto, the same is happening.
Blockchain: From Technology to Assets
Initially, layer one (L1) blockchains competed on technology. Solana stands out with low fees and fast speeds. Ethereum leads in decentralization and security. But now, technology has become the standard. Users choose blockchains not for technology, but for the assets they can trade on them.

THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE IN INVESTING
🎯 Harry Markowitz, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, pointed out a classic mistake made by many retail investors: buying when the market is rising because they think it will continue to rise, and selling when the market is falling because they fear it will keep dropping. This cycle has caused many to miss long-term growth opportunities and continuously face unnecessary losses.
💡 The root of this mistake lies in herd mentality and emotional influences. When the market rises, greed compels you to jump into the "game" to avoid missing out, and when the market falls, fear drives you to hastily withdraw to preserve capital. However, financial markets always operate in cycles – rising and then falling, and vice versa. Smart investors do not get swept up in temporary fluctuations but focus on long-term strategies and analyze real data. Calmness, discipline, and the ability to look beyond short-term fluctuations are what help you overcome all challenges.
🔑 Core message: Emotions are the greatest enemy of investing. Do not let greed and fear dictate your decisions. Maintain discipline, focus on long-term goals, and allocate assets wisely. Sustainable success in investing comes from patience and self-control, not from trend-following or temporary emotional decisions.

Stablecoins are at a similar starting point.

118 - Bitcoin: A New Journey After the $100,000 Milestone
As Bitcoin surpasses the $100,000 mark, this is not only a financial achievement but also raises questions about its true standing in the global financial system. This price level is a powerful psychological symbol, marking a new advancement supported by technologies like BitVM and Layer 2, opening up unprecedented potentials.
The value of $100,000 is not just a number but also a testament to Bitcoin's resilience and long-term potential. From a speculative asset, Bitcoin is transforming into the core foundation of digital finance. As the CEO of Xapo noted, this is not only the result of a price rally but also reflects a rapidly changing market sentiment.

EFFORT IS PROPORTIONAL TO PROFIT
🎯 Benjamin Graham changed investment thinking by asserting that profit comes from effort, not from taking big risks. Success in investing does not depend on accepting high risk, but on intellectual labor and organized effort. Graham emphasizes: Effective investing is the result of thorough preparation, not of reckless bets.
💡 According to Graham, high profits do not come from 'making big bets,' but from the ability to analyze deeply and manage risks effectively. The difference between a smart investor and a gambler is preparation. A smart investor relies on real data, makes informed decisions, and patiently executes the outlined strategy. Success is not luck, but the result of persistent effort and logical thinking.
🔑 The core message: In investing, profit is proportional to the effort you put in. Instead of pursuing high-risk opportunities, focus on research, learning, and applying disciplined strategies. Success does not come from recklessness, but from intellectual labor, organized thinking, and a persistent commitment to goals.

💡 Graham points out,

🎯 No need for risk.
