It's honestly crazy how many things I've gotten wrong about this market in the past 7-8 years.

Truly like how many bad theses, lost capital, wrong timings, and absolute terrible trades I’ve taken. Yet, to still able to come out and stick around to build and invest for the long haul is a blessing. This industry gives you the most asymmetric upside of anything else in the entire world and I firmly believe it will continue to do so.

Even if your hit rate is not high, or your timing is off. Frankly, it's not easy to be right and being ‘right’ often requires immense research, a lot of skill, and a tad of luck.

At the end of the day the one thing that all of the OGs in the space optimize for is survival. We all focus on sticking around to see another day, another week, and another year. This game is one in years and decades, not in weeks and months. If you're down bad right now, worried about your portfolio, or just generally not as bullish as you have in the past, it's understandable and look, you're not alone.

At the end of the day it's going to be up to you to stick around and persist. The number one way to start doing that is to focus on survival. If that means allocating some portion to cash and safe investments, or turning down the leverage slider, or reducing your bet size, then so be it.

Your mission is to survive. There will be easy mode again.

Inshallah.
