— GTO approach to Life and Finance, Poker bots designer — Managing a crypto trading floor, Algo/Dev/DeFi — $5K to $1M in 90 days on FTX, now $1B/yr vol
Returning to the trading scene to capture the ETF opportunity, I discovered there's literally money on the floor everywhere with Gary Genslers, fake announcements, hacked accounts, straightforward trades and cheap options. I decided to give it a week of full send.
About this
What?
Started with $5k in the end of 2020, while BTC was above $20k. Streamed the run to 7 figures, then grinded to 8 figures before FTX.
No reloads, no shilling, no scams. Just pure trading.
I know 5+ people who did similar results and guess what?
We all have certain
Realistically, you probably need >$10m to go out on your own as an full time individual investor in crypto.
You can survive on less but the margin of safety gets increasingly dicey lower.
Much better to keep farming stables and hustling on the side.
If there is enough interest in the list of traits all the best CT traders share, I will compose and publish it below this tweet
Just do like 100 bookmarks on this and initial tweet or something like that
On making it all back — in one trade 🧵
Accumulation is finalized, twitter fomo is imminent, time to show down the hand.
I did put my scalping account on the line with this trade.
$TRX $USDD
Full breakdown of my last trade:
Sniped total of $300K $APT in the $4.72-$6.35 range in 1st seconds.
(If unsuccessful, sniping higher)
Then range-sold between $11-$13 for $370K profit. And scalped the 2nd leg up from avg $8 to $11 for another $195K
Totals~ +$565K in 10 mins.
1/3 Wow! 50K $SOL traded within 6 hours from the beginning of

We will likely break 200K SOL by 24 hours mark. That would be $9M for the 1st day.
Minted this Super Rare Zombie-Ape. These will be signatures of $SOL community
Just realized how real
@UpOnlyTV
curse really is.
- We only go down since the existence of the show
- Every guest, project or fund goes bust after entering the show
- Their main sponsor literally destroyed the industry as we know it
I love the show, but it's getting expensive
Previous strategies were successful, so I am testing one more for
@AptosLabs
listing $APT.
Betting with caution this time: $250K
TIME: In an hour, the second APT-PERP, APTUSD & APTUSDT is listed
BUY/LONG RANGE: $4.5-$10.5, gradual
SELL/SHORT RANGE: $17.5-$57.5, gradual&gauss
Can anyone explain to me how is $1200 $ETH @ 145B MC not a nobrainer buy?
I am first to short every non-sense valueless token further to 0, but I don't see any valid reasons, why is ETH not a $0.5T mkt?
Take a look at relative costs and economy of other tradable WW technologies

My only NFT play in this downfall were
@pudgypenguins
We bought tons for $1160 a piece. Basically held the 1 ETH floor.
60% up, long way to go. Never underestimate the holders distribution and [Price : Holders Avg Net Worth] ratio. Very underrated metric.
Got 5M RLB under $0.019 for $90K
Now its worth $210K printing $1K per hour on fees
RLB pair got insane volume push of literal gamblers and their casino product is superior to anything I saw being a gambler for 8 yrs

Took a loss. This day basically costed me all profits from last 3 months. Still not particularly worried about $ on FTX.
Rebalance, reassess, load the clip.
On to the next one, CPI tomorrow.
My only NFT play:
Largest entry on

was @ $1160. From that point I traded to increase rarity, but never reduced my numbers.
Now we are @ 6 ETH floor, for $11K
Up 900%, more to go
There is still by far not enough penguins for everybody
Over time... Penguins > Yuga

Twitter is a weird place.
As a sophisticated Ape, I would rather just stick to my Trees.
To clarify, cards are there to be bought... and sold.
And bought back again.
Holding forever does not drive engagement. Volume does.

Well. I guess its time. Why do I sell?

For everything I have a price I buy and sell at any given moment.

This looks like a scam
You can buy MER for $7+ from the pool in the inception (where price should start at 0.125$ but it starts at $7.4), while selling is possible only for $0.8 on Rayswap
10X price difference at start, and 2X difference until now between buy and sell prices?
An objective look at a long-term
#Bitcoin
chart leads one to conclude that before Bitcoin can make a new high the price will likely collapse near the lower yellow lines I've drawn. It's a long way down, but the way Bitcoin trades it won't take long to get there. Have fun HODLing!
1/ Why is a meme artist paid 6 figs compared to 5 figs for casual job?
Because public education reaches now lows every year. You dont need a school for anything unless you want to go for a doctor a lawyer. The supply of workforce for anything you learn at school is too high.
This is a six figure meme making job at a legit company.
No matter how silly your kid’s interests seem... don’t ever tell them they should give them up for a “real job”
3/ If you need help, pay high premium to someone accomplished to get directions.
Couple hours from a person you want to be like is way more valuable than 100s of hours from random boomers at college.

When top3 world stock drops 20% in 2 hrs, while you hold massive puts position, you just blindly ultralong the carnage and secure the profits immediately.
That's not even a question or decision
That's reflex
Imagine telling your 150K followers to short $ETH at sub $1K and $BTC at $20K and then just bearpost getting stopped out for 2 months stright while everyone is making 100%+ gainz.
imagine buying $ETH at $2k...
but but the merge bro, it will lower gas prices... mass adoption... trust the narrative bro... not priced in

@fintechfrank
3AC? Never even heard of them. He’s talking about regulated institutions u fer SEC/CFTC purview, striking a monthly NAV, with AUM greater than $100M. Not 3 crypto kids with friend & family money. Lots of people buying stuff with their personal account…
Hey
@AngeloBTC
, why do you ruin somewhat good trade idea by providing completely unrealistic levels & PA. Feels like pretty cheap liquidity hunt.
You will exit this shit way earlier and you know that well.
Are OG guys now forced to do this to recoup losses or what am I missing?
Well TIME would be shocked to see metaverse numbers.
Here you can actually live multiple lives over multiple timelines with multiple partners, some monogamous, some polygamous. You can even pick the gender.

Lets make couple things clear here before all the hate or stupidity hits the fan.
Anyone is free to correct me or confront me at any point, will be happy to discuss.
@redtheminer
@SBF_Alameda
I will be okay. Won some, lost some, I am used to risk and I know how to take L.
Having less capital available will not impact my life at this stage. Had much tougher battles in the past.
Motivated, focused. More wonderful opportunities and trades ahead, on to the next one.
1/4 On putting more walls on my spot $SRM walls:
There is $250M liquid cap. Lets say
— About 66% of that is either staked, used by exchange or kept on DEX for fee reduction
— About 4% is just forgotten in some wallets for like ever
We are left with $75M cap
2/ You are literally better off doing and learning ANYTHING you love, than going to a place where you learn a lot of things you dont actually care about.
Do what you love. Dont listen to boomers. Study your own way on your own.
In a bullmarket
Value of actions and strategy complexity goes down,
while value of conviction and commitment goes up.
In a chop or bearmarket its opposite.
Consider all options. The more moves, adjustments and rebalancing you make, the better.
Be like water

Okay, here's some coins for you:
— $RIN EP $0.95
— $HTR EP $0.75
— $REN EP $0.35
— $DETO EP $0.28
— $UXP EP $0.065
Will come back to this tweet after a while.
2/4 But how much of $75M is actively traded within days? Maybe like 40%?
We are left with $30M. How much of that $30M will dump if BTC takes like a 10%+ hit? Ehhh, say 25%?
So like... about $7.5M is the maximum selling pressure I can get on that if I buy all at $5.
