I came from nothing. I wasn’t born into wealth, nobody handed me money and no one ever gave me an easy route to success. Everything I have today was built through hard work, risk, sacrifice and refusing to give up. My journey in crypto has never been a straight line, so here is the honest version. In 2017, my portfolio grew into the millions. I thought it would keep going forever, so I never sold enough. By 2019, those millions had fallen to around $90,000. That experience taught me one of the hardest lessons in crypto: You haven’t truly made the money until you secure some of it. When the COVID crash arrived in 2020, I backed myself and went all in. It was an enormous risk, but by 2021 I had made millions again. Then during 2023 and 2024, I made several million more. Meme season was especially good to me and genuinely made me a fortune. The difference this time was that I took action. I withdrew millions from crypto, bought multiple properties and put serious money into the bank. I wanted real assets and financial security that no bear market could take away from my family. I still have a huge amount invested in crypto because I believe in where this industry is heading. However, the majority of my portfolio is now in Bitcoin and other large-cap assets. I still love high-risk opportunities. That will probably always be part of who I am. But high risk is now a smaller part of a much bigger and more balanced strategy. I have experienced the euphoria of making millions, the pain of watching almost all of it disappear and the satisfaction of building it back again. I am not sharing this to boast. I am sharing it because I know what it feels like to start with nothing, take risks and fight to change your life. My biggest lesson? Take profits. Protect your family. Buy real assets. Keep cash available. Never allow greed to send you all the way back to the beginning. You can still take risks but make sure one bad cycle can never destroy everything you have built. Mando CT

Not everyone will win in this bull run but I want my community too!

bittensor:native pumping and it’s nice to celebrate with the legend @CryptoWizardd on this trade! Only just started IMO!

Did someone say BULL RUN? 😂 Crypto Twitter after one green candle: “Bear market is over.” “Altseason confirmed.” “$100K Bitcoin next week.” “Lambo dealers, get ready.” Jokes aside, the momentum is building and the market finally feels alive again. Stay focused, manage your risk and enjoy the ride. Mando CT

People say you can’t have your cake and eat it too… With $CAKE, I believe you definitely can. Trading around the $2–$3 zone, with increasingly deflationary tokenomics reducing supply, I think this could fly hard once serious liquidity returns to the market. My bull-case target is $10–$20. That would be a huge move from here, but in a full bull market, I believe it is absolutely possible. I’m holding my $CAKE and eating it too. Mando CT

Bitcoin is back above $81,000 and $NEAR has exploded 23% as Zcash swap activity flows through its infrastructure. This is what I watch for: not just price pumps, but genuine usage creating demand. When Bitcoin shows strength, capital begins rotating into altcoins with working technology and real activity. The strongest narratives can move incredibly fast once liquidity arrives. The market is waking up. Have a plan, keep stables ready and don’t wait for peak euphoria before paying attention. Patience is finally being rewarded. Mando CT

The CLARITY Act may be dead for now, but the push for crypto regulation is far from over. The SEC and CFTC are already moving to fill the gap with new rules covering tokenisation, fundraising, custody, ownership records and crypto markets. That is progress—but regulation created by agencies will never be as permanent as legislation passed by Congress. A future administration could challenge, rewrite or reverse much of it. My view remains unchanged: Crypto is not disappearing. Blockchain is being integrated into the financial system piece by piece, whether Congress can agree on one comprehensive bill or not. The road may be messy, but institutional adoption and tokenisation are moving forward. This setback delays clarity. It does not stop the revolution. Mando CT

GM Everyone & happy Sunday! No crying at the casino but FFS that @fomo has so many rugs wtf! 😂 This is why I am not posting what I am buying on my main account and learning the hard way! Gonna keep looking on there for runners though. Have a great day!

The headline says Robinhood Chain fees collapsed 97%. But the real story is underneath: Fees plunged from roughly $8M to $230K per day, while the network still processed 8.9M transactions and around $1.5B in daily value. The memecoin frenzy cooled, but users didn’t disappear—the chain simply became dramatically cheaper. Revenue spikes grab attention. Retained activity after the hype fades is what really matters. Now Robinhood must prove it can turn that activity into a sustainable ecosystem. This is one to watch closely. Source: @CoinDesk ⁠
