there's no better way to make something great than to study your competitors, think everything through, and make it better
before the iPhone Duo announcement, i never really liked foldable phones
but Apple did it so well, even adapting iOS specifically for the device
bravo
it's the same with anything you want to get good at
if you want to be better, don't rush it
you're not falling behind
will we make enough profit this autumn to get one?

bro lost $135,000 in 15 minutes
some people lose 2 figs on nfts and cry
some people lose 3 figs on memes and cry
and some people lose 6 figs in 15 minutes
that's the other side of arbitrage
about arbitrage...
around this time last year, i came across a guy posting about how he made money from the UXLINK hack
(not the guy who hacked it lmao)
as i later found out, most of the opportunities weren't even that complicated
buying tokens 40-50%+ cheaper through limit orders and selling them quickly, CEX/DEX arbitrage, or even just shorting the token could have generated solid profits
after that, i started learning arbitrage myself
a lot of things didn't make sense at first, but it was extremely interesting
i found a much better information edge, got into private groups, tried free and paid parsers, and basically went all in
my capital wasn't that big, and i didn't manage to make much because i lacked experience
but the market was giving you opportunities almost every day where you could turn $20-50 into 10x, and sometimes even 100x
the R/R was almost always on our side
since the beginning of 2026, the hype around arbitrage has died down because market volatility dropped
but people with bigger capital (many of them built that capital last autumn) kept farming funding and making money from CEX/CEX spreads throughout the year
if we get high volatility again this autumn, i'm pretty sure we'll see a lot of arbitrage opportunities once again
so if you've never looked into arbitrage, i'd seriously recommend learning how it works
it might bring you big money, just like it did for many people last autumn

bear markets always feel like they last forever, while bull markets always seem to come out of nowhere
even before summer started, i wasn't ready for a new L2 to take over the trenches, let alone potentially become an early sign of a new bull market
although right now, it still feels more like a pre-bullrun
you'll miss a huge number of opportunities during a bullrun
but just remember, it all goes by in the blink of an eye
and with every cycle, it doesn't get any easier
there's no time to learn everything first
you just have to act and take whatever money the market is giving you in the moment

meanwhile, working in web3 be like:
endless grind 24/7
constant stress
FOMO running through your veins
never-ending search for new opportunities
constantly learning something new
having to develop an insane number of skills
but for many people, this isn't considered real work...

i love autumn for two reasons
my birthday during uptober
and watching the market go green
since 2020, only one autumn has been bearish
time to fully lock in
it already started

ayoooo, have a wednesday
i've been inactive here for the last two weeks of august because i decided to finally work on my youtube channel (i've wanted to do it for a long time)
released a couple of videos already. no results yet, sadly, but consistency matters in everything you do
i've been pretty busy learning how to properly process audio in adobe audition, getting back into premiere pro, and discovering a lot of new things that can help me make better videos
but all of this takes a ton of time...
now the academic year has started too, so i'll have to optimize my time and figure out how to make room for everything
btw, i'm happy to be back here and see the bullish mood on my timeline
it warms my heart
genuinely wishing everyone to make some serious monieeeee

august is turning into bitcoin's month
btc is up roughly 25% this month, making it the 3rd-best august in its history
historically, when august was strong, bitcoin kept moving higher into autumn
last year, autumn brought plenty of opportunities
maybe this year won't be any different

wen btc was at $60k, people were waiting for lower
wen ct got quiet, creators switched to ai
wen crypto showed no signs of life, robinhood showed up
wen the market stays red for too long, suddenly nobody hears from the believers
wen everyone was chasing easy money in memes and nfts, the real money was sitting in fundamental tokens
wen eth hits $5k... sorry, not in this lifetime
wen btc pumps $10k in a day, everyone turns bullish, even though many don't even hold btc
this space never changes
agree?
