the reasons why you can't grow your portfolio and network: • be content with your life, create a comfort zone, and take positions that won't affect your mindset while trading. if you take out a loan or sell your dad's car to enter the trench, you'll lose. • don't replace those you started with for those you meet along the way. 99% of people usually do, but if you fall again, those you met along the way won't stick around. loyalty > everything else. • know your own limits. while comparing yourself to what you see on twitter, remember where you started and the stage of life you're in. we need to climb the ladder step by step. if we climb too fast, our fall will be just as swift. • no one knows exactly where we are in the cycle. slowly convert your profits into stable assets to give yourself the chance to be a long-term trader. this isn’t a seasonal job. traders who make big money have most likely been doing this full-time for years. • if you don't miss a single day, one day, luck will smile upon you. • if you take any action with ill intentions, you won’t win in the long run. karma is real.

there are things you are not usually told by ct: • you won't know when things are going bad, and you won't know when you've hit the top. even when you think you're at the top, opening twitter will convince you otherwise. if you tweet "this is the top," even if it truly is, they will bully you for it. • you will probably never make 100x on your portfolio in the short term—only 0.01% can achieve that. in the long term, over 1–2 cycles, i think you can definitely achieve it. • there will be larps all around you while trenching. some will hide their wallets, claiming they care about privacy, but they're probably dumping on you—or they don't even trade with you. they act like professors on-chain, but real traders don’t pretend to be "real traders"; they just trade. larps act like real traders and try to get into insider coins to make money. • it's never enough. when you reach your goal, you'll realize you want more. everyone has always wanted more and will continue to do so, this has been the case for centuries. if you can't tell yourself to stop, they'll take everything you have. in the last cycle, i reached my goal but left the market with zero dollars. people will usually say, "why are you leaving when you can still make money? there's more to go." you won't be able to leave at the top, but find your own cycle top and just walk away. • people usually stick with those who make them money, but when someone's behavior changes or their trades go badly, they part ways. please find people to grind with together. if they lose money, lend them some. believe me, in the long run, you'll have a happier friendship and won't feel lonely. • you don't have to crush others to make money. you don't need to find insider coins. you just need to learn how to try in a long-term way. don't wreck your portfolio. try, take profit, and keep trying. just keep trying.

friendly advice; don't be upset if you miss something while you sleep. what could you have done? would you have caught it if you hadn't slept? how many nights will you stay up? i don't care what i miss when I'm not at the pc, im here for 12-15 hours anyway, if I still miss it, it's not my play.
