Six years ago, I started with nothing but a skeptical mind and a tiny bit of courage. No moon shots. No YOLO leverage. Just small, smart plays — riding the waves of crypto events, airdrops, and launchpads with my risk dial stuck on “low.”
While the hype chasers blew up accounts overnight, I quietly stacked my wins. I read, I learned, I never risked what I couldn’t lose. Little by little, my portfolio crawled from $0 to over $10,000.
Binance gave me the tools — the rest was pure discipline. I’m not rich (yet), but I’ve got confidence, control, and a system that works for me.
So here’s to eight years of Binance and six years of me staying sane in crypto. To anyone starting out: slow profit is still profit — and you’ll sleep better too.
The Hunt for Free Money (That’s Never Really Free)
Arbitrage sounds sexy: buy cheap here, sell high there — profit locked in, risk-free. Right? Wrong. If it were that easy, your grandma would be doing it between bingo rounds.
Six years in, I’ve squeezed a few sweet arbitrage trades — slow exchanges, price mismatches, sleepy bots. It can work… if you’re fast, sharp, and a little ruthless. But guess what? Fees, slippage, and withdrawal delays love to eat that “guaranteed” profit alive.
The game is simple: spot inefficiencies before the herd does. Be quicker than bots, smarter than whales, and calm when the window slams shut. Most won’t bother — too boring, too technical, too “small gain.” Fine by me — less competition.
So yeah, I like arbitrage. Small risk, small win — but stacked up over time? That’s real money.
If you’ve been around the crypto block, you know: the trend is your friend… until it stabs you in the back. But hey — I’ll take that over chopping myself to death in sideways markets any day.
My trend trading rule? Spot the big move, get on board, stay on board — until the trend says we’re done here. No psychic candles, no gut feelings, just price action and confirmation.
When it’s trending, I ride it. When it stalls, I cut it. Small losses, bigger wins — repeat. I don’t marry coins; I date them while they’re hot, then ghost them when they’re not.
Six years in, trend trading’s grown my bag without killing my sleep. It’s boring, but profitable. And boring is sexy when your balance keeps growing.
Spot the trend, follow it — just don’t fall in love.
Everybody loves to shout “Breakout!” — right after it’s already broken out. The breakout trading game is simple in theory: find strong levels, watch the squeeze, catch the blast. But here’s the truth: breakouts punish the impatient and reward the prepared.
In my six years, I’ve learned the hard way — chasing fake breakouts drains your stack faster than your ex drained your bank account. I look for volume, confirmation, retest — then I strike. If I miss it? Cool. There’s always another candle, another chart, another day.
Breakout trading works — if you’ve got discipline, patience, and a plan. No plan? You’re just exit liquidity for the smart money.
So yeah, breakouts pay — but only when you know when to step in and when to step back.
Trade smart. Protect your stack. Ride waves — don’t drown in hype.
Everyone online’s a “pro day trader” — until the rent’s due. Truth is, day trading is brutal. Charts all day, stress all night, dopamine fried by lunch. 95% lose money. But hey, someone’s gotta feed the market, right?
Me? I dabbled. I still do — small stacks, tight stops, cold logic. No dreams of Lambos, just disciplined plays. I trade setups I understand, not Reddit rumors. If I make 1% today, I’m done. Greed kills faster than any bear market.
Biggest lesson? Risk less, win more. Day trading’s not gambling if you treat it like a job — ruthless, repetitive, boring. Master your mind or the market will.
So yeah, I day trade — but I also sleep, eat, and smile because I don’t bet the house.
Make your money. Keep your sanity. Respect the craft.
Want to know my best trading move? Doing nothing. Seriously. Six years in crypto taught me one thing: markets will humble you — unless you know when to shut up, sit down, and just HODL.
I buy coins I believe in, at prices I can sleep with. Then I let the degens scream about dips and pumps while I drink my coffee in peace. No panic selling, no FOMO buys. Just time + patience + discipline.
Did it hurt watching my bags tank 70%? Sure. But did I sell? Nope. Did I average down? Yep. And when the market turns — I’m ready, not wrecked.
Trading’s fun. HODLing’s freedom. Both make money, but only one keeps your hairline intact.
So here’s to the patient ones. The “boring” ones. The ones who hold while everyone else folds.
Everyone loves to flex about 100x futures plays. Sure, you might 10x your account overnight… or you might blow it up faster than your ex ghosted you.
Me? I’m Team Spot — slow, steady, and boring enough to actually grow. Over my 6-year journey, I’ve used spot trading to ride trends without waking up to liquidation nightmares. I watch events, time entries, take profits, repeat. I might make less per trade, but guess what? I keep it.
Futures? I’ll dip in once in a blue moon — small size, tight stops, big caution. Like fire: warms your house or burns it down.
Spot keeps me in the game, futures keeps me sharp — but I know which one pays my rent.
Pick your poison. Just don’t pretend it’s not poison.
