just gonna write some raw thoughts and share my lessons learned from this crash yesterday was the worst day I've ever lived in crypto many reasons why, but the biggest one being the fact that so many people I know, respect and like a lot lost 50%, 75% and in some cases, near 100% the other reason was the fact that I played this cycle almost to perfection, from fullporting sol at ~$20s, selling at ~$220/$240 in january and then slowly but surely making new port aths every month with max caution and never fullporting even if in btc still struggling with understanding what lead me to fullport 3 days ago and can't help but think of the timing of this crash — buy real stuff. buying a house and dream car in the past 10 months made this crash feel less worse and I assure you it alleviates a lot of the pressure. funny enough, I thought buying a very expensive car was a horrible decision but in hindsight thank god I did cause I'd have lost a lot of the money for no reason and now if needed I can just sell it at a profit and buy back into the market (which I won't unless we hit a bear market and I want to take more risk) — stop buying narrative coins. for some of you this is bad advice, but to me, it has ALWAYS been better to focus on finding a coin that you believe in and have data that supports the decision of allocating size. I am not going to give a single fuck about the next privacy coin, or perp dex, or memecoin. will focus on finding all the information by myself and not rely on even 5% of borrowed conviction. it fucks you up — don't go fullport when you have already made a ton of money in the cycle. there's literally no reason to do it. I was able to control this for 9 months and the ONE TIME I do it, markets crash and I get my networth shaved a bit — never act from a place of being influenced by seeing others win — follow yourself. don't trust anyone. don't blame anyone but yourself. — don't do leverage. just don't. in crypto there's no point and yesterday was proof of why it's retarded. different story when it comes to stocks. — make the math, man. how much money do you have? how many years of freedom could that money buy? — stop trying to get 20% returns every week or month. at some point it makes no sense to aim for this. I was making new aths every month for the past year and still felt like shit. be happy with what you have In the end, I am still blessed. Am roughly 15% away from portfolio ATHs because thankfully the fullport was almost only bitcoin and then some eth and pump. I have no idea what I'll do with the portfolio, but am expecting more pain ahead rather than a recovery, unless Trump pivots which I honestly doubt he will this time since markets are at ATHs and he has room to push them down.
