hey guys, this is important.
im not a caller, i dont accept 99% of paid promos,
i share what i like, i lost money most of the times.
but when i big, i win big, arrange your risk management if you are following me, im not your quant or financial advisor, im not getting paid for what i do, im doing because i had so many struggles at the past.
im trying to help you, but if you are still blaming me for bad plays, you can easly fuck off.
thanks for listening, no, im not tripped, i just wanna explaing what is going on. xoxx
general thoughts on social trading:
it's the best and worst thing that can happen to a trader.
i've been there. my wallet has been tracked for 2 years.
winning while everyone is watching feels insanely good, especially when you're starting with small bids.
but sizing up while everyone is watching, being wrong, and going full tilt trying to make it all back? that's how you burn your portfolio.
here are my rules:
1. never farm aura.
be yourself. run challenges on public wallets if you want, but off-ramp regularly.
you'll get used to seeing $200k in your wallet. then it drops to $190k and somehow you feel like you've lost everything.
your net worth didn't change your lifestyle overnight, but your brain will convince you that you're losing.
2. when the congrats dms start coming in, consider taking profits.
in my experience, those messages often show up around local tops.
when your follower count is growing rapidly, get more aggressive with taking profits.
3. keep your conviction trades private.
if you're putting serious size into a trade, consider using a private wallet.
you don't have to prove anything to anyone. no audience, no expectations, no pressure to defend a position. just you and your thesis.
4. never roundtrip money for the top 100 leaderboard.
you know the type of thought:
"bro, i'm about to make it to the top 100."
don't.
nobody cares about your money as much as you do.
you roundtrip your profits, people send you a few "sorry bro" messages, and two minutes later they've forgotten about it.
you're the one who has to live with the loss.
but there's another side to social trading.
you get to watch some of the greatest minds around the world, all in one app.
you can study their entries, follow their theses, understand how they think, watch their grind, and learn from their mistakes.
think of it as a master-apprentice relationship.
find people who are better than you. study them. try to understand why they do what they do, not just what they buy.
but never forget that everyone plays a different game.
different portfolios, different risk tolerances, different financial situations.
just because someone can comfortably size $50k into a coin doesn't mean you should.
if you want to trade like them, you better be ready to lose like them, too.
the biggest danger is a little bit of greed.
you used to compete against yourself.
now you're competing against yourself, other traders, and the version of yourself that you think other people expect you to be.
that's a dangerous game.
don't let the leaderboard dictate your risk. don't let attention dictate your entries. don't let strangers dictate your self-worth.
social trading can make you a better trader if you use it to learn.
it can destroy you if you use it to prove something.
stay in your own lane
imagine if triplet could monetize its views, get ads from brands, and use that money to take the story to the next level.
the world runs on memes, but memes need visibility.
whoever has the views has everything.
but you can’t really monetize views enough on social apps.
that’s why jeanphil, one of the first viral ai influencers, launched a coin after just one video.
tokenize the views.
im winning.
i’m 5x better than i was 3 months ago. i can make better decisions, and the market is finally allowing me to.
but when i look at others, i feel so behind.
then i go outside, look around, and feel so far ahead.
when i think about my dreams, i know i have to work harder.
when i look at my current situation, i feel like i can chillax.
grateful for where i am, hungry for more, but i know i still have to get better.
the dilemmas are always with me.

25:57 Closing thoughts
there are so many ups and downs in the market.
the best thing you can do is make a decision.
buy, sell, or do nothing.
even if you choose wrong, you can always come back and make the right decision next time.
but if you're literally shaking with every move, no one can help you.
the market decides your mood, instead of you deciding what to do.
the things i learned from the last cycle:
- never, ever be happy about someone else losing. never, ever be sad about someone else winning.
their win doesn't take money from your pocket. their loss doesn't put money in it.
- shit will happen.
when you think you've seen everything, something even more absurd will happen.
be ready for it.
turn this into a game. don't let every move emotionally affect you.
- there will always be better traders than you.
and that's normal.
accept that. watch them. learn from them.
this is probably the biggest + of social trading.
- the whole system is built around jumping from coin to coin.
you will miss rotations.
sometimes you'll watch a coin run without you.
wait.
there will be another one.
chasing, crying, revenge trading and getting emotionally affected will cost you far more than missing a 5x.
- there will be a lot of wins. there will be a lot of losses.
none of that matters.
look at what you actually have.
not your pnl. not your peak. not your "i could've made $2m."
what you have.
protect it. grow it. stay in the game.
- never ever normalize winning.
enjoy the wins.
actually feel good about them.
because if winning feels normal but losing feels devastating, you're cooked.
you need to be able to handle both.
the goal isn't to feel nothing.
the goal is be winner.

with fast, small runners, you have so many ways to fuck up.
buy the wrong one, ape too much, sell the first leg down, rotate too much, and burn yourself out almost instantly.
on the other hand, if you can find coins that have already established themselves, even if it’s only for a few hours, you can do your DD, size properly, or at least bid them.
your odds of winning go up, but your potential return goes down.
that’s the game you have to choose.
last cycle, i chased every new pair.
it made me who i am today.
but the people i considered my goats weren’t chasing every move.
they were sizing into conviction while i was sizing into exits.
this time, i’m trying to be them.
your attention is just as valuable as your money.
don't spend it on the wrong coins.
the more attention you give a coin, the more you'll DCA, the more you'll care, and the more bag-biased you'll become.
eventually, you'll be so emotionally invested in the wrong coin that you stop paying attention to the one you should've been watching.
