If there's one thing I've learned in my 7 years of crypto, it's that FOMO is the biggest killer.
There is literally no need. Even coins with the strongest theses have dips/consolidate in ranges - giving you better entries to accumulate with more optimal R/R.
It's almost never worth buying at highs unless there's a breakout level you're trading with inval.
Sometimes you'll miss stuff - but over a long enough time period you'll come out ahead.
The simplest way to think about trading is defining your downside and your upside on every entry. If you don't know where you'd invalidate - don't take th

Whatever happens to $BTC and majors, there has clearly been a shift on-chain.
Social trading apps like fomo and pump will massively expand the TAM of the space, as the easiest way to onboard is to "show, don't tell". (In this case having verifiable proof you can make life-changing money.
Combined with the hyper-gamblification of markets esp. with the younger generation, on-chain trading will only get bigger and bigger.
I think this side of the space will decouple more and more from the rest of the market, although clearly performing better during BTC rallies/periods of upwards volatility.

I genuinely think the crypto traders who learn how to use Claude will print like crazy this cycle.
In 2024, AI was practically unusable in financial markets.
Now, anyone can literally launch dozens of agents that watch the market 24/7 (AND actually take action on their behalf).
Going to get crazy.

If you have no clue how to implement AI in your trading, I highly recommend starting by connecting the TradingView MCP + Claude.
Once it's connected (2 mins), Claude can actually read your charts and act on real market data.
A few high-leverage ways to actually use it:
• Have Claude subagents manage your watchlist (notify you when trade setups occur)
• Build custom indicators based on your strategy (full Pine Script coding)
• Scan the TV community posts (super underrated use case - lots of alpha/setups being shared here daily)
For research, screening, etc., it's one of the easiest ways to star

You guys have no idea how bullish I am on markets x AI.
One of the biggest opportunities of the next decade will be the practical implementation of AI in financial markets for the average person.
Billion-dollar opportunity.
For decades, real quantitative/automated/algorithmic trading was locked behind a wall. You needed a math or CS background, a job at a fund, or years of self-taught coding to gain a tangible edge.
That bottleneck is slowly disappearing.
Right now, anyone can describe a strategy in plain English and have Claude turn it into backtested Pine Script in minutes. Anyone can connec

The best thing you can do right now is trim your watchlist.
Quality is extremely concentrated amongst alts right now.
Only a few are really worth watching/trading ( $HYPE , $ZEC , $ENA , etc.).
Don't get distracted by junk.

Hindsight is always obvious.
If you feel underexposed to $BTC , $SOL , etc., just remember, if we are truly entering a bull period, LOTS of opportunities are about to arise.
Don't chase, and don't beat yourself up too badly if you didn't deploy 100% of what you originally wanted to at the bottom.
Opportunities are abundant.

Lessons for the upcoming bull market that EVERYONE needs to remember.
Trust me, you'll want to bookmark this one:
• Take profits on the way up, NOT just at the top (you'll never time the top).
• Every trade needs an invalidation - fundamental, price, and/or time stop.
• Do not over-leverage. Most shouldn't touch leverage at all.
• Journal every single trade. The thesis, stop, and post-trade reflection.
• Cut losers fast. Add to your winners.
• Don't trade out of boredom.
• Trim your watchlist regularly.
• If/when you hit a big trade, don't be afraid to take time off.
• Convert profits to fiat.

you need to do everything humanly possible to acquire at least 1 $BTC
with what's coming you're going to need a life raft

tbh investing is pretty simple
ask yourself: where is the world headed in 10-20 years?
buy into those trends during moments of short-term doubt/uncertainty where price disconnects from longer-term fundamentals
use patience/conviction/tolerance to your advantage

This bull run is going to look nothing like the last one.
Last cycle, nobody was able to leverage AI in their trading processes.
The traders who have spent the last ~year learning AI are about to have a massive edge in the crypto markets.
Think about what's actually changed since 2024:
• You can now describe any strategy in plain English and have Claude turn it into backtested code in minutes
• You can have hundreds of AI research agents scanning the markets 24/7
• You can build an AI trading bot in literally <30 minutes
Not to mention all the research tools/custom screeners you can now vibe-c

My general thoughts on crypto right now (how I'm positioning):
• $BTC just had a massive breakout, and the catalyst was obviously macro-driven as the US Treasury announced bond buybacks to calm surging long-term yields.
• Over the past week, there have been billions in short liquidations. A lot of the "sailor death spiral" bearishness and Iran headline fear had already flushed out sellers before this move even started. The market was oversold, sentiment was at peak bearish, and the first positive catalyst just triggered an explosive squeeze (what we saw on $BTC driving violently hitting 75k+)
