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+)

Remember, price always leads narrative.
$BTC is now a USD-debasement safe haven again after one pump.
Two weeks ago it was a Saylor death spiral/quantum liability.
People fit the narrative to the price, not the other way around.
