What I’m getting at is this: the market is a living organism. It changes every single year. The people you see online are just the survivors — especially among influencers. And that can create the illusion that trading is easy... that the market is easy... that it’s all about lifestyle, fast money, and crazy green PnLs. But that’s an illusion.

The crypto space has started to resemble Hollywood, where we only see the highlight reel:

1% are real actors — people who achieved success through grit and consistency.

9% are simply lucky — they caught ETH at $1 by chance, or got into $SHIB or $PEPE without knowing what they were doing.

10% are insiders — “agents” with the right connections who got their place in the industry, or influencers profiting massively through partnerships and early-stage allocations.

And 80%? That’s the reality. The part we never see — not in Hollywood, not in financial markets.

Think about how many people go to Hollywood every year, chasing the same mythical dream: work as a waiter or cleaner, go to auditions, and one day become the next Brad Pitt. It’s a beautiful story — and it sells.

But no one talks about the 80% who spend decades chasing that dream and end up getting nothing. Those people eventually find their path elsewhere, but they never share how their fantasy collapsed — because that part isn’t glamorous.

It’s the same in the modeling and music industries... and especially in the world of finance, trading, and crypto.

I personally know people who made huge money in 2021. I know people who are still stuck in massive drawdowns since 2021. And I know people who accepted their losses, moved on, and are now thriving in other fields.

Trading is not for everyone — and that’s okay.

Just don’t believe everything you see on social media. There’s always another side of the coin... and it doesn’t shine like gold. $BTC
