so far 2025 has been a series of 60-day challenges for me that test misc self-limitations jan & feb was trading march & april have been dedicated to books & fitness/wellness: → limiting all excess screen time & replacing it with reading → regular fasting & 90% paleo (100% keto) diet → incorporating strength training & walking for the first time vs just cardio it takes an average of 66 days to learn a new habit figured by end the of the year, if I make it a point to break some bad habits and learn some healthy new ones, it will be a year well-spent that contributes to long-term growth, discovery, fulfillment it’s really incredible what can be accomplished when you’re intentional with your free time— setting the intention is key. reminder 🤍:

I really want to plan for a meet up over the summer who’s down

had a dream last night about a failing restaurant and its owners who were middle-aged, overworked, and jaded they were complaining about the younger generation leveraging social media and becoming more successful than them, while seeming to work much less and it occurred to me the seismic shift I fear happening with AI in the future—where certain people inevitably get left behind—is really already happening it’s the same pattern that’s existed for centuries with the progression of each generation the ones who are quick to learn the new tools and use them are the ones who will thrive in the future you have to adapt, you have to be nimble, you have to work smarter, and your life will be better for it idk if these are even cohesive thoughts to anyone else, but it was like an extreme moment of clarity when I woke up this morning—a neon sign lit up on the ceiling saying embrace the tek

the little voice of warren buffet inside my head has yet to steer me wrong combined with patience

The Golden Bear

I know it’s adapt or die but the acceleration of ai is madness a large part of me is sad thinking about the unique art and exploration that will cease to exist in the future and the ripple effects of that

wonder what percentage of the time TA is just a self-fulfilling prophecy

for the last 60 days, I decided to lock in and try to trade actively (for the first time ever) instead of solely focusing on art/creative. my main objective here has and always will be to stay continuously learning—whatever that might look like at the time unknowingly, I probably picked some of the most challenging market conditions, but I learned a lot from being glued to CT and charts in nearly all of my spare time. here are some of my notes to self for the road ahead in case they’re helpful to anyone else: •patience, focus, and lack of emotion are invaluable •have both short-term and long-term setups. separating wallets by strategy is helpful •be able to react quickly and assess risk. if you don’t have a plan, loss is inevitable •it pays to pay attention, but not at the expense of mental health. as soon as that becomes negatively impacted, it’s time to reset. temet nosce •following high profile traders closely can give you alpha, but DYOR - don’t blindly trust •the day-to-day swings are influenced by macro, headlines, and US government reporting. (this is common sense in hindsight, but I never really paid attention.) knowing critical dates of reporting helps (ie fomc today) •anytime the TL reads euphoria, it’s time to sell/take profits short-term. no exceptions •my greatest conviction and set up still lies in DCAing BTC—stress-free, long term outlook, still feel like I’m accomplishing something regardless of ups and downs for me it’s been worth taking notes along the way so that I can improve and establish goals 🫡 if you’re playing the game—survive, stay hopeful and
