Every trader begins by trying to predict the future. Eventually, the market teaches a deeper lesson: The future was never the problem. Your need to control it was.
When you invest $10,000 into one asset, the math is simple: You can only lose $10,000. But if you’re right, there’s no ceiling. That’s the beauty of asymmetric bets.
Me and my buddies had UST parked on Anchor Protocol chasing that 20% yield. Thought it was safe stable money 😂 Then the depeg happened... I still remember staring at the LUNA chart that night during the death spiral, watching it collapse candle after candle, realizing in real time this wasn’t a dip… it was the end. Who's got their own Luna/UST story?
To make money, you must be willing to lose it. To win, you must accept being wrong. To trade, you must be willing to not trade. To profit, you must surrender to the system. To succeed, you must embrace failure.
