Day 6: Sitting on my hands Brutal day in the markets. I didn't do much apart from the usual checkups. I've learned that observing is the often the best move, especially in times of uncertainty. I don't have a short term bias here. I'm staying in tune on X. If you're really down bad, now is a good time to journal what you're feeling and try not to make the same mistakes for when we are back, because we will be back. That being said, if the stock market drops further I will start converting any remaining stables I have into spot crypto & $TQQQ For now I'm going to remain patient 🧘

Day 5: I'm referring myself on DeFi protocols. I generate millions in volume through my trading and LPing, but where does that go? These fees accrue overtime and I realized that my referees aren't doing anything for me - but they still take a cut of my money. So, today I created a new wallet and moved majority of my LP positions there. That being said, there are referrers that DO help their referees. I plan to do something for the people that use my referral code. Giveaways, alpha group, rebates - I'm not sure yet. Markets were green today. I took profits on a few spot positions to free capital that I can use when onchain conditions are hot again. I increased my stake in solana:HuAXPyDWDaMYFKuwQHpqL1oPnj93zdzWmtvFGzCeCUa7 after their @PancakeSwap partnership - it's obvious that they integrate private swaps on Solana soon.

Day 4: I joined the solana:8RVBk8vxLiUHueLUW1f4izFVqN3nWippLhkohKg6EGkS Trading Competition Normally I stay away from incentivized trading competitions, but this is free money laying on the ground. The top prize is 10,000 solana:6GmAFSYs4gk3FDao5FzzySQpPZaWsa4rUJHacpMpUNgx valued at $1150. To earn that, you need to trade $32000 volume. 50% of that must be solana:8RVBk8vxLiUHueLUW1f4izFVqN3nWippLhkohKg6EGkS and the other 50% can be split between solana:8RVBk8vxLiUHueLUW1f4izFVqN3nWippLhkohKg6EGkS and solana:6GmAFSYs4gk3FDao5FzzySQpPZaWsa4rUJHacpMpUNgx $32000 volume costs you $480 - so there is a free $670 arbitrage here for anyone paying attention, as well as other prizes that make up for that cost. Unfortunately DLMM on @MeteoraAG isn't counted for the competition so I won't be going for 1st place. Hopefully there's something for top liquidity providers in the future - I plan to take 1st place in that scenario. There's only 1 day left to participate in this competition, so I'm super confident that this is free money for anyone participating.

Day 3: I'm Getting Back into Trading Perps. After October 10, I wasn't impacted badly but I did not like the way my shorts got forcefully closed. If I had a bit more long exposure my portfolio would've gotten liquidated. But truthfully, perps can still be good if used right. I chose to use @jup_mobile since they have lower fees than Hyperliquid and the UI is smooth. Slight improvements could be made but overall I like it Ironically I used their perps to short solana:JUPyiwrYJFskUPiHa7hkeR8VUtAeFoSYbKedZNsDvCN itself to hedge spot exposure. Brutal market today ahead of midterm elections, so bears are profitable right now, but I have no doubt bulls will soon be in control.

Day 2: I Started Farming the solana:pumpCmXqMfrsAkQ5r49WcJnRayYRqmXz6ae8H7H9Dfn Airdrop The solana:pumpCmXqMfrsAkQ5r49WcJnRayYRqmXz6ae8H7H9Dfn airdrop is the easiest S tier farm we have in 2026 because it's counter consensus that they will even do it. The reality is that @Pumpfun isn't here to save you or me, they are here to make money. And they make a lot. Historically it has always been more profitable to do an airdrop in good market conditions (which is why @JupiterExchange delayed their last airdrop) We probably get a few more months of farming the airdrop via the Pumpfun App until market conditions are good again, and when the airdrop happens it will likely be of similar value to hyperliquid:native when it first dropped.

Day 1: Opened a new LP position on @MeteoraAG to farm fees on HYPE-SOL There has been huge volume on HYPE/SOL since the NYSE announcement. I opened a position today. Currently at 55% APY on a Saturday. Keep in mind that this strategy is defensive and the APY will increase as hyperliquid:native falls vs SOL, so I expect to see 100-200% APY later this week. I plan to close at a 20% profit. I also had solana:HgcxVs6kJhPAaGqnPNGaa7zYgNT49hJrLufiqcNMuYZT and solana:8RNUw4N655VSrZKuhGdywhbSMDTrheguFPfxbpE2NZHQ LP positions open and closed them for small profits. The fees are great, however I'll be waiting for better market conditions to reopen those.

coins launched: 43.4m coins above $100k mcap: 691 the other 99.998% went to zero.

Today I'm starting my daily journal on X. I will be sharing my market thoughts / trades, my LP positions, and where I'm parking my money for yield or potential airdrops. I'm aiming to update this every day in similar fashion to @DidiTrading and others who have inspired me with their journals. My goal is to reflect on my goals, stay disciplined, and build an audience that I can exchange ideas with.

For some perspective, the 6 billion dollar hack was worth 150 Kimchi’s

I find it hard to imagine a coin pumping aggressively with its respective alt not doing well. For example, if ZEC were to pump I can't imagine a world where solana:HcRLc9VDgjLeK154xDawfb1dmVJ98DoSqcwTHGqiDeJR doesn't do well. If you believe we are in a bull market then the most +EV thing you could do is find good and original memes with communities that reflect an alt you like. For example, PEPE is showing great signs of a bottom and will be a leader once the market picks up solana:HgcxVs6kJhPAaGqnPNGaa7zYgNT49hJrLufiqcNMuYZT is sitting at a 1.4M market cap and is up hundreds of % as PEPE pumped from the lows. What do you think happens when these alts start impulsively pumping? Their memes follow. Ultimately I think this is the greatest bull case for solana:6GmAFSYs4gk3FDao5FzzySQpPZaWsa4rUJHacpMpUNgx as it directly benefits from its ecosystem doing well. It's more than just Solana memes now. It's crypto as a whole.
