Saylor announced Strategy sold $225M worth of BTC today
Yet traders continue opening 20x to 40x $BTC longs, with most liquidation levels sitting around $57k to 59k
Lower lows are coming and lot of these traders are about to become exit liquidity

A successful founder won't judge your startup
A profitable trader won't judge your losses
A person who got in shape won't judge your fitness journey
It's usually the people who have never done the work that judge the hardest

This guy grew up in a house with no running water or electricity and years later, he sold his app for $19 BILLION.
His name is Jan Koum, born in 1976 in Ukraine.
At 16, he moved to California with his mother. They had nothing and were living on food stamps while he worked as a janitor at a local grocey store to help get by.
He became obsessed with programming, teaching himself through used books and manuals. He later enrolled at San Jose State University and joined a hacker group called w00w00. Eventually got a job in security testing at Ernst & Young, where he met Brian Acton, his future co-founder.
He dropped out of college and spent 9 years working as an engineer at Yahoo.
In 2009, he applied to Facebook. But got rejected.
A few months later, he bought an iPhone. Seeing the App Store gave him an idea - "a simple app that showed your status so friends knew what you were up to."
That idea became WhatsApp.
He built it with Acton under one core principle: No ads. No games. No gimmicks. Just a simple messaging app that worked.
In 2014, Facebook, the same company that rejected him, bought WhatsApp for $19 billion.
