Let me be honest:

When I first started as a content creator, my style wasn’t what it is now. I used to make content with analysis + motivational鸡汤. But starting in May, after advice from a senior group member who said this approach was too exhausting and had poor ROI for gaining followers, he suggested I use callouts and showing off to attract traffic.

I’m good at taking advice, so I tried showing off and making bold calls. During that period, whatever I called would pump—it was incredibly accurate. Traffic exploded, and my follower count doubled in a month. But I knew very well that callouts and showing off would make some people hate me, and being wrong would bring criticism, so I mentally prepared myself.

I actually don’t care if people curse me, but sometimes I feel I’m unfairly blamed. For example, when I made a call, I bought the underlying stock myself, but followers went all-in on leveraged ETFs or options. When it dropped, I was confident it would recover, but if you bought leveraged products, I really didn’t know if you could hold on. Time frame is also an issue. I like buying the dip, but I often buy halfway down. Followers might not be able to handle it, thinking they’re trapped by my calls and calling me trash. But in reality, the recovery often happens in an instant. Many people lack patience; losing money for a day feels like the sky is falling. I understand that mindset, and I accept the blame. All I can do is keep dishing out motivational鸡汤, hoping everyone can take a longer-term view.

Here’s a typical conversation: A week ago, an old follower spoke up for me in the group. Someone else was cursing me as a scammer because they followed me into RKLB. A week later, that old follower sent me a screenshot showing that the same person had become my loyal fan. I was really happy. Making others money makes me even happier than making money myself. There are many such examples. In my comment section, people often start by cursing, then suddenly shout “You’re amazing.”

It’s the same with storage now. I have a long-term view and don’t care about short-term movements. If it can go up in the long run, why get obsessed with near-term details? Shouldn’t we think about how to accumulate more? Of course, I must seriously emphasize: Don’t buy options, don’t buy leveraged ETFs, and pay attention to position sizing.
