I post wins. So I’m posting losses too. This week was horrendous. An ABC course in being a clown, not a trader.
I’m exhausted. Sad. Disappointed.
Sunday night I looked in the mirror and told myself, “You’re doing great. One step at a time.”
Then I delivered a masterclass in self-sabotage.
My FOMC thesis was simple.
If we couldn’t break the prior high before, we probably wouldn’t.
Pre-FOMC usually drifts up, then derisking.
Monday correction plus bounce, so I set shorts across majors and alts.
Volatility expected. Downtrend bias. No expectation of a real push higher.
Monday was whatever.

Makes me sick that I ever thought I could just hold NFTs and be fine.
“Surely the blue chips will survive, we’ll see new highs.”
Yeah. I AM FINAL FORM OF CRYPTO-RETARD.

Setup update.
I haven’t spoiled myself in a long time. I usually don’t throw money at anything I can’t multiply, I don’t collect stuff, and I don’t care about flexing. But I do like buying useful things.

Perfect summary of this crypto year, but on PM bet.
You bet on AI with Huang as the hedge, and 24 hours before the event closes they crime it and swap “others” to “architects of AI.”
Tbh I’m not even mad.
it is what it is.

White whale memes aren’t funny anymore. They were peak comedy before he endorsed them, but only for the last 20 people still logging into CT, of which maybe two are actually trading memes.

So you’re telling me you actually longed after FOMC because it felt dovish?

Taiki was right

No way I’m paying $14.5k for this internet cat picture, but I might if it was priced at 500 HYPE.

God gives His hardest battles to His strongest warriors.

Made a few shekels on Polymarket today. Had “Max no to champion” from after Vegas and “Lando yes.” Max was the underdog on the market, felt like people were massively overvaluing him.
Lando basically had one job: finish top 3–4. Ferrari was driving a tractor, not an F1 car, but credit to Charles for making Lando sweat for a few laps (Ki ki ki rah sweat sweat). The only real threat was Osama bin Russell. Without a DNF, it was a pretty “easy” bet.
And yeah, Max is the best driver alive — no second best, probably won’t be for years. If anyone else has a title shot it’s Charles, but Ferrari needs
