yep, people dont realize that the longer the base+consolidation -> the stronger the move afterwards this happens because the more trading volume that occurs in a range the stronger support it becomes when the breakout happens, & the longer time period you consolidate you also are left with only the holders with the most conviction

we are in the very early stages of a bull market for crypto, the way you win at this stage of the game is by finding good asymmetric spots and holding through short term volatility you have the benefit of three main things - memecoins & new pairs rotational trading has been the dominant strategy for two years now, most are conditioned to have very short hold times because ceilings were lower, in bull markets, ceilings are much higher and you will win a lot more in being selective with which coins you hold over an extended timeframe, you will never hit a 1000x with an average hold time of 30 seconds - retail is now entering the space with more capital, before ceilings were lower because the pie was siloed to CT natives & traders from last cycle, if you look at pump & fomo's mobile growth numbers + robinhood chain's strong push of stock traders to their chain, you can see there will be a lot more money sloshing around, these ppl are not as obsessive with checking mcaps as most CT native traders are, so coins that achieve virality get a lot more aggressive tailwinds - nobody does any research, tiktokification of crypto has made it such that barely anybody reads the docs or spends the time to think through theses on what makes coins differentiated from others, combine this with the short hold times and you get so much opportunity for simply building solid theses and waiting for them to play out ----- it is also important to have some process for evaluating when you are wrong, and for acknowledging when you miss a giga runner and why you missed it, + having invalidations for when to re-enter on an idea that you sold too early these markets only gift you these opportunities once every few years, important to find your tribe of people and spend time daily looking for good trades, many have spun up 4 figure ports into 7 figure ports in a few years starting from these conditions good luck

if you missed the bottom in june & are still sidelined, am here to remind you that it is imperative that you have short term memory and are forward looking the market does not care about your current positioning & planning for future outcomes without dwelling on past is how you make generational wealth you do not need any starting knowledge to learn how to trade, holding assets continues to be the only real way to outpace inflation, LLMs have made cost to acquire new information near zero so it's entirely on you what you decide to spend your free time doing
