Part 2 That being said, if you truly want to become a trader, put in the work.
Master the craft.
Accept that it takes years of dedication.
It’s one of the best jobs in the world if you can do it successfully.
But if you think you can casually day-trade for a living while juggling a normal life, you’re lying to yourself.
Most of the so-called “traders” on this platform are only showing you the positive highlights of their trading journey—or, even worse, don’t even make money day-trading.
Don’t let their bullshit give you a distorted image of reality.
To conclude this rant:
Macro investing still works.
99% of the wealthiest people in this space didn’t get there by flipping their bias every 2H candle.
If history rhymes, the euphoric phase of the cycle is still ahead—and when it comes, it will be powerful as usual.
And guess what?
Trading works too — but you don’t have to get blinded by fancy shit and actually embrace the journey to mastery.
The best strategy?
My advice?
Do both:
1) Build a long-term portfolio to ride the macro cycle and wait for euphoria.
2) Use 5-10% of your capital to actively trade—learning the craft while keeping your risk in check.
By adopting this approach, you’ll get the best of both words.
Rant over.
Hope every single one of you will make it in the coming months, despite the path you will choose to follow.
I’ve recently seen a lot of people giving up on investing.
They’re now convinced that buying quality coins and holding them for some time doesn’t work anymore—and that the only way to make money in this market is through active day-trading.
All I’ll say is this:
Congrats, you’ve been successfully brainwashed.
I don’t blame them.
The past few months have been mentally and emotionally brutal for Altcoin holders (especially those deep in small/micro caps).
So naturally, they start thinking this shit doesn’t work anymore.
But cherry-picking a timeframe that fits your “investing doesn’t work anymore” bias while ignoring history isn’t exactly smart.
We just went through some of the nastiest PA in the history of the magic internet money market.
Even some of the best investors got caught off guard.
But here’s the thing about financial markets:
When the pendulum swings too far in one direction, it always snaps back aggressively.
And trust me—you don’t want to be sidelined when that happens.
Nothing has changed.
Playing the macro cycle will always be the most lucrative way for most people.
You just need:
> A strong mind. > A bulletproof plan. > A F….&k ton of patience.
TIME IN THE MARKET > TIMING THE MARKET.
You’ll look delusional until payday arrives.
But when it does—it’ll be worth the wait.
Don’t get me wrong—I’m not hating on trading.
It can be insanely profitable too.
But the truth?
99% of the wannabe traders you see on X will ultimately get rekt and quit.
Most confuse beginner’s luck with skill.
They learn some random TA from “successful traders” and think that’s all they need to beat the market.
Then they hit a few wins and believe they’re some kind of genius.
Until reality humbles them.
Once beginner’s luck fades, they realize they know nothing and are just lambs in a world full of wolves.
Little tip:
Don’t confuse analysis with trading.
Being an analyst ≠ Being a trader.
Anyone can be an analyst.
But being a consistently profitable trader is a whole different beast.
- Indices dropping heavily (important to see how the US 🇺🇸 stock market opens on Monday, especially Nasdaq and the SPX) - BTC dropping from 99 to 94k - ETH dropping from 2800 to 2600
As said, bybit handled the hack like real professionals.
The market is already back at pre hack levels.
If US opens in the green we have odds of going to retest the high of the range 102.6-104.3k where ideally I’d be vigilant for either a breakout to the upside and finally leave this choppy price action behind or rejection back in the range.
