Waiting for OKX IPO

My timeline is full of the same typical bear market bullshit. Crypto is dead. Memes are cancer. I'm leaving this space. WHO ASKED YOU TO GAMBLE ON DOGSHIT MEMES EVERY DAY? There are 20,000 memes launching because YOU created the demand. You want to trade every minute, make $2 and jump into the next one. You helped create the casino, and now you're crying. And let's talk about your role models. Some guy reportedly made $40M trading memes, and suddenly he's the face of crypto? Yesterday, I spoke to a trader who made around $35M in March just by shorting Bitcoin. No blue tick. No daily shills. No cult following. Just a guy who knows how to trade. Look at your timeline. Every second post is some bullshit about the next flywheel, next 100x,or whatever narrative they're selling you today. YOU are the one giving these people attention. YOU are the one copying their trades. YOU are the one buying their bags. And somehow, when you lose, crypto becomes the problem? Want change? START WITH YOURSELF. Stop buying every random token with no team, no vision, no product, and no reason to exist beyond the next candle. You genuinely expect a bunch of broke gamblers, whose only ambition is to extract $10 for a McDonald's meal and a pack of cigarettes, to build you a billion-dollar community? Meanwhile, real founders are building, traveling, raising capital, hiring teams, and fighting every fucking day to make their projects succeed. And you're sitting there crying because your latest 15minute meme didn't make you rich. Crypto isn't your problem. Your standards are. Stop worshipping extractors. Start respecting builders. And for once, take some fucking accountability. The market doesn't need to change for you. YOU need to change how you approach the market.

Funny how we HODL shitcoins down 90% because we believe in their longterm potential, yet give up on people the moment they start struggling. If you can spend months defending your bags, why can't you spend that same energy uplifting the people around you? Bullmorning

The golden era of Pumpfun understood one thing that a casino needs consistent winners to keep gamblers alive. Every week, you'd see multiple $5M $20M runners, a couple pushing $80M+, and occasionally something absolutely insane. Btw all these runners used to die the following day. Now look at other chains. Decent narrative? Bonds and rugs. Good narrative with hype? $275K top, dead within an hour. Exceptional narrative? Maybe $4M once in a blue moon. And only two lucky ones with good MM hit $100M+ while everything else goes to zero. The secret isn't having one $100M runner. It's having enough winners at every level that people keep believing they're next. That's what creates FOMO, retains liquidity, and keeps people gambling. Whoever was running that casino back then understood human psychology better than 99% of the people running chains/launchpads today. People don't return to casinos because they win. They return because they've seen someone else win. Bullmorning

A lot of people keep asking me, “Bull, why didn’t you go to TOKEN2049?” Bro, what the fuck am I supposed to celebrate? These events make sense when you're actually winning. When you've built something from nothing, caught a 100x, pushed your project to new ATHs, or genuinely have something to show for your time in this industry. Look at the FOMO app guys. They had a great run. They earned their moment. Go network, celebrate, enjoy the fucking event. But if you're getting liquidated every other day, your portfolio is six feet underground, every coin you touch turns into a crime scene, and your biggest achievement this year is surviving another weekly candle… What exactly are you networking for? 😂 You're not attending a conference. You're attending a costume party dressed as a successful crypto investor. Some people go to these events to celebrate what they've built. Others go to escape the reality of what they haven't. There's nothing wrong with networking when you're struggling. But there's a difference between going there to build something and going there to pretend you've already made it. I'd rather stay home, fix my shit, and show up next year with results than spend three days pretending my portfolio isn't on life support. Don't confuse being seen in the industry with actually succeeding in it. The market doesn't give a fuck how many billionaires you took selfies with. Your PnL is still your PnL.
