People who succeed in trading usually do so by leaning on skills developed in other areas: General curiosity about games, systems, and mental frameworks, a strong sense of integrity, etc. Trading amplifies, exposes and teaches those interests and habits, but it rarely creates them from scratch. For me, this is mainly about first-principles thinking. It’s stripping away assumptions, inherited narratives, and surface-level trends to ask: What’s irreducible here? Markets teach this ruthlessly: any unjustified complexity gets you rekt. They demand simplicity. But simplicity is not the avoidance of complexity. It’s the product of deliberate refinement. By stripping away layers, you identify not just the actors, but the levers. Markets are a masterclass in this. But every domain (careers, art, politics, love, etc.) has its own “physics”. This abstraction leads to agency. When you understand the forces at play, you stop reacting to symptoms and start engaging with systems. Similarly, life’s ambiguities become navigable when you’ve rigorously defined your own terms: what matters, what’s negotiable, and what’s foundational. Markets teach you to think in tensions and trade-offs; life rewards you for applying that same rigor. Yet, this lens works both ways: the same rigor that grants agency also exposes the fragility of your assumptions. It humbles as much as it empowers.

Socialism allocates scarcity. Capitalism incentivizes abundance. Always good to remind ourselves of this from time to time.

YOU NEED TO FKN LOCK IN ❗️ this is probably the last post i am going to make because you are no longer early, but time is running out storytime of last crypto cycle i entered nfts in aug 2020 with a $20 gift, in the span of ~6 months i turned that into $1M even before peak szn NFTs did $150M in volume that month, one year later NFTs did $600M+ volume in a week memecoin cycle the memecoin cycle has already begun, i think we are in the '21 stage of NFTs right now people making millions overnight, @theunipcs turning 5 figs into 8 figs (and 6 figs more recently) now why do i start with this section that means a lot but also doesn't mean much? a lot of gains in crypto is survivorship bias, chances are you may not make millions of dollars in months, BUT the point is most people do not even dip their foot into crypto you need to understand most people are afraid, anything with any semblance of risk scares them, so simply by taking a single step you are ahead of them to get rich in life, you need to maximize the amount of opportunities you have; when you are young, you have the luxury of less responsibilities, if you do not take risks now, chances are you will never take risks in the future this post is about crypto and it's also not about crypto but crypto is one of those generational opportunities that only come ever so often as my friend @notthreadguy said: "5-10 choices you make in life will ultimately determine your entire life, and this is one of them" this does not mean it is the last cycle, or your last chance, but with every few years the chances of you making generational wealth diminishes if everyone tells you a choice you are making is the right one, it probably isn't, even to this day when BTC is teasing $100K --- most people would tell you to stay away then they will say you got lucky once they see the fruits of your fruition you don't have money? the easiest way to gain financial capital is to trade it with social capital, in this modern era, optimise for social capital. it is the cheapest and easiest route to make more money. don't take this post as telling you to take out your life savings and all-in memecoins explore the industry, get a job here, learn about what interests you, crypto is so much bigger than coins the greatest thing is simply by participating you will be rewarded ------------------ the worst case is max a few years of lost social time, a pause in career progression; some $ the best case scenario is generational wealth: uncapped upside you have to sacrifice and do more than usual to acquire things out of reach, it is up to you what you want to sacrifice godspeed, enjoy this cycle if you are already here, and if you aren't, choose your pathway; don't regret it 🧙‍♂️🪄

so every couple of years you can punt $1k - $10k into 10 - 50 new coins each & if you’re good at selection & can hold through absurd volatility, you can probably bank on 1 or 2 1,000xs or higher hard to see why focusing on anything else would be better tbh

I need to summarize what happened with $SKI in the last few days: - @Jessepollak used @Ski_CTO based @X competition as an example of why #Base memes are so great, then he bought 0.4ETH of $SKI, on that jesse.xyz wallet, he only holds $ski and $degen and some airdropped coins. - @Camila_Cabello changes her pfp to a $ski mask dog in preparation for her new song launch promo, indicating she's about to make $Ski mask dog super mainstream. - @Ski_CTO successfully gets verified on @CoinbaseWallet allowing the users to directly trade on the app - @Ski_CTO gets a gold checkmark for the @X account That's why we pumped so hard and we're just getting started
