This is what it takes.

In crypto, we live in the trenches.

We skip sleep, skip parties, skip comfort, because that’s what it takes.

We wake up early for alpha drops, stay up late watching market structure shift.

We don’t always get to socialize. And yeah, it feels lonely sometimes.

But this is the cost of front-running the future.

The trenches aren’t punishment.

They’re the price of the edge.

While others chase dopamine, we chase alpha.

While others look for hype, we hunt signal.

Not everyone gets it.

But those who stay consistent in the trenches?

They’re the ones who make it.

It’s not luck. It’s the reps.

It’s the sacrifices no one sees, but that everything depends on.

So if you’re feeling the weight, just remember:

This is what it takes.
