How to retire early and keep your gains Probably an obvious post, but easy to lose yourself in a state of market frenzy. - - - - - 1. Dumb Investor a) Breakdown • Portfolio/net worth remains the same maybe due to bad decisions or getting caught by the market • Income stays flat, no compounding, no real edge b) Actionable steps • If trading is not for you , there are many other side quests to pursue (content creation, work full time at a project/company, build something with your close friends, airdrop farm) --> create more sources of income + focus on finding your edge (if trading perps is not for you, go on chain and vice versa) • Create a system in place: budget + journal + excel PnL and portfolio tracker + risk management systems • Learn to stop over trading, sit out when there is a lack of narrative and only be active when there is a new and fresh meta • Train your muscle memory to spot fresh narratives and non-consensus plays - - - - - 2. Smart Investor a) Breakdown • Spending decreases, disciplined and stay within the budget • Speculating/Apeing still present but possibly done more selectively and contributes to upside --> you did well, probably graduated from the trenches but still need to actively invest/ape if you are still at 6-7 fig port (here comes the fabled high 6s to 7 fig hell where "you are too rich to work, but also too poor to retire") b) Actionable steps • You now know how to survive (most impt) not to die in crypto. Now it’s time to learn how to win • Accumulate wealth by being smarter about bets (size into conviction plays) and maintaining control of expenses (you now have money, easy to squander it all away if not careful) • Zig while others zag (e.g early to robotics and biotech, or apeing PIPEs/equity stocks when everyone else was still in altcoins) • Size into things that will create meaningful returns to your portfolio, eliminate things that are time wasters • Systematise your learnings, stack XP points • Constantly off ramp, just to create a safe nest egg and diversify + spend on life upgrades • Scoop non-consensus bets at low valuations but they have strong team and market misplacing • Size into bigger cap coins that have narrative + future catalyst ("reasons that people want to own in the future") - - - - - 3. Wise Investor a) Breakdown • Everyone's goal, when income/portfolio becomes dominant through compounding and smart positioning --> you've probably reached high 7 figs to 8/9 figs here • Your spending is basically life upgrades, safety and enjoyment • Speculating is minimized or timed well, probably best just to put into safe stuff/btc --> constantly cash out to buy real estate, maybe a proper (kek) business • If done properly, probably exits the cycle early or becomes a giga whale • Humans basically want to optimise for 2 things: money and time, you've solved for the first one now buy back your time b) Actionable steps • Optimise for fulfilment and leaving a legacy (build or start something, work on your passions) • Prioritise for anonymity, stealth wealth, buy back time, safety --> the more you scale your port, the more you are a target • Wealth preservation is paramount Having said all the above, one quote still rings true for me: "most of us came from nothing, so how can we lose when we started of with nothing"

Over the past decade, Bitcoin's performance in August has drawn the attention of investors. Data shows that from 2015 to 2025, Bitcoin's returns in August are close to zero. A deep analysis of the Candlestick Chart reveals that this phenomenon reflected by the data does indeed exist: August typically shows a Sideways trend. However, there are exceptions to this pattern. It is particularly noteworthy that in August of both 2017 and 2021, there was a significant upward trend. Upon closer observation, we find a common point between these two years: they both occurred in the late stages of a bull market. Currently, the market seems to be in a bull market late stage again. If historical patterns continue to hold, then August of this year may continue the upward momentum. This potential trend is worth investors' close attention. However, we must also remember that the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market means that historical patterns do not guarantee future performance. Investors need to consider various factors such as current market conditions, the global economic situation, and the regulatory environment when making decisions. Overall, Bitcoin's historical performance in August provides us with an interesting perspective, but it is just one of many analytical tools. A rational investment strategy should be based on a comprehensive understanding of the market and careful risk assessment.

BABYDOGE To da moon?

Recently, the fan token ATM of Atletico Madrid has shown an exceptionally eye-catching performance, with a single-day increase of up to 21%, and the price once climbed to 1.82 USD. Behind this remarkable trend, there seems to be quite a few secrets. Analyzing this wave of increase, it can mainly be attributed to the following points: First, Atlético Madrid is likely preparing for a significant event, such as the upcoming fan engagement project, like voting for the new season's jersey design or choosing preseason opponents. These types of activities often trigger market expectations, prompting some investors to position themselves in advance. Secondly, from the trading data perspective, a significant bullish candlestick appeared on July 28, with trading volume surging to 4.87 million, more than doubling the previous average daily level of 2.43 million. This simultaneous increase in volume and price is usually regarded as a signal of large capital actively entering the market. In addition, the future application prospects of ATM tokens also add to their appeal. It is reported that holders may obtain NFT rewards by staking ATM in the future. With the recent resurgence of football-related NFT projects, this potential function undoubtedly adds extra investment value to ATM tokens. However, investors should also be cautious about such severe fluctuations in the short term. Looking back at history, the Atletico Madrid token experienced an extreme situation of being halved in value in a single day last year. From a technical perspective, $1.9 is a key resistance level; breaking this level may lead to further upward movement towards $2.2. However, if it falls below the support level of $1.7, there may be significant risk of a pullback. It is worth noting that the price of fan tokens is often closely related to club activities. Once major events such as fan voting are over, the market may face a situation of "good news already priced in," and a certain degree of correction is likely to occur. Overall, the recent surge of ATM tokens has brought both opportunities and risks. Investors need to comprehensively assess market trends, view short-term fluctuations rationally, and manage risks effectively when participating.
