Here’s 12 brutal mistakes I made (so you don’t have to))

Lesson 1: Chasing pumps is a tax on impatience
Every time I rushed into a coin just because it was pumping, I ended up losing.
You’re not early.
You’re someone else's exit.

Lesson 2: Most coins die quietly
Most tokens don’t crash — they just slowly fade away.
No big news. Just less trading, fewer updates... until they’re worthless.

Lesson 3: Stories beat tech
I used to back projects with amazing tech.
The market backed the ones with the best story.
The best product doesn’t always win — the best narrative usually does.

Lesson 4: Liquidity is key
If you can't sell your token easily, it doesn’t matter how high it goes.
It might show a 10x gain, but if you can’t cash out, it’s worthless.
Liquidity = freedom.

Lesson 5: Most people quit too soon
Crypto messes with your emotions.
People buy the top, panic sell at the bottom, and then watch the market recover without them.
If you stick around, you give yourself a real chance to win.

Lesson 6: Take security seriously
- I’ve been SIM-swapped.
- I’ve been phished.
- I’ve lost wallets.

Lesson 7: Don’t trade everything
Sometimes, the best move is to do nothing.
Holding strong projects beats chasing every pump.
Traders make the exchanges rich. Patient holders build wealth.

Lesson 8: Regulation is coming
Governments move slow — but when they act, they hit hard.
Lots of “freedom tokens” I used to hold are now banned or delisted.
Plan for the future — not just for hype.

Lesson 9: Communities are everything
A good dev team is great.
But a passionate community? That’s what makes projects last.
I learned to never underestimate the power of memes and culture.

Lesson 10: 100x opportunities don’t last long
By the time everyone’s talking about a coin — it’s too late.
Big gains come from spotting things early, then holding through the noise.
There are no shortcuts.

Lesson 11: Bear markets are where winners are made
The best time to build and learn is when nobody else is paying attention.
That’s when I made my best moves.
If you're emotional, you’ll get used as someone else's exit.

Lesson 12: Don’t risk everything
I’ve seen people lose everything on one bad trade.
No matter how sure something seems — don’t bet the house.
Play the long game with money you can afford to wait on.

Countless mistakes.
Hard lessons.
If even one of these helps you avoid a costly mistake, then it was worth sharing.

Many believe the market needs trillions to get the altseason.

But $SOL , $ONDO, $WIF , $MKR or any of your low-cap gems don't need new tons of millions to pump.
Think a $10 coin at $10M market cap needs another $10M to hit $20?
Wrong!
Here's the secret

I often hear from major traders that the growth of certain altcoins is impossible due to their high market cap.

They often say, "It takes $N billion for the price to grow N times" about large assets like Solana.

These opinions are incorrect, and I'll explain why ⇩
But first, let's clarify some concepts:

Market capitalization is a metric used to estimate the total market value of a cryptocurrency asset.

It is determined by two components:

➜ Asset's price
➜ Its supply

Price is the point where the demand and supply curves intersect.

Therefore, it is determined by both demand and supply.

How most people think, even those with years of market experience:

● Example:
$STRK at $1 with a 1B Supply = $1B Market Cap.
"To double the price, you would need $1B in investments."

This seems like a simple logic puzzle, but reality introduces a crucial factor: liquidity.

Liquidity in cryptocurrencies refers to the ability to quickly exchange a cryptocurrency at its current market price without a significant loss in value.

Those involved in memecoins often encounter this issue: a large market cap but zero liquidity.

For trading tokens on exchanges, sufficient liquidity is essential. You can't sell more tokens than the available liquidity permits.

Imagine our $STRK for $1 is listed only on 1inch, with $100M available liquidity in the $STRK - $USDC pool.
We have:
- Price: $1
- Market Cap: $1B
- Liquidity in pair: $100M
➜ Based on the price definition, buying $50M worth of $STRK will inevitably double the token price, without needing to inject $1B.

The market cap will be set at $2 billion, with only $50 million in infusions.
Big players understand these mechanisms and use them in their manipulations, as I explained in my recent thread.
Memcoin creators often use this strategy.

Typically, most memcoins are listed on one or two decentralized exchanges with limited liquidity pools.

This setup allows for significant price manipulation, creating a FOMO among investors.

You don't always need multi-billion dollar investments to change the market cap or increase a token's price.

Limited liquidity combined with high demand can drive prices up due to basic economic principles. Keep this in mind during your research.

A core part of my analysis is the study of historical price action and recurring market structure. By comparing past cycles and identifying repeating behavioral patterns, I’ve been able to navigate this cycle effectively so far. This approach has served me particularly well on the HTF.

I think its important to clarify: I am a HTF trader.

I’m rarely wrong on HTF analysis because my decisions are rooted in data, not emotion. I don’t trade based on what I "think" or "feel"; I act only when the probabilities are mathematically in my favor. At times I’ll enter earlier than ideal, at times later.

Back in 2021, we saw an almost identical narrative, remarkably similar market structure and context to where we are now. Timing-wise, this cycle has closely tracked 2021 and prior cycles. I’m simply following a pattern that has remained intact for over 12 years. Eventually, that pattern will break, and that’s completely fine. But statistically, I’d rather position myself with a recurring structure than against it.

Many doubted the validity of the 4-year cycle in October. Yet, if you mapped the ATHs and ATLs objectively, the data allowed for a short at the peak candle around 123K, which I personally executed, publicly. Over time, data consistently outperforms skepticism.

In the 2021 fractal, BTC front-ran the 50K psychological level. Today, that equivalent level is 100K. If this pattern even loosely persists, BTC may fail to cleanly break above 100K, instead treating it as a psychological ceiling.

We recently tested 80K, and over the past 6–8 months the median short-term buyer cost basis has been in the 95–100K range. That suggests potential sell pressure from underwater participants, alongside larger players seeking exits. From a psychological standpoint, many may choose to front-run 100K rather than wait for a clean test, reinforcing the idea that the level may not be meaningfully breached.

We also have a diagonal resistance similar to what we saw in 2021. That said, this is still technical analysis and should be treated accordingly. Based on this structure, extensions into the 98–99K region are entirely possible and would not invalidate my thesis.

If there’s one area I could have marginally improved, it would be patience and entry refinement. I anticipated this impulse in Q1 and stated that multiple times, but my scaling zone was slightly too shallow. When you’re coming off a strong win streak, confidence and confluence can lead to earlier-than-ideal entries, which is what happened here. That doesn’t negate the broader thesis.

If invalidation occurs in the 104–105K region, I’ll reassess the entire trend and wait for HTF confirmation before taking any swing positions.

If you disagree with my thesis, simply don’t follow it. I’m not advising anyone, this is strictly my own positioning.

Thank you.

Michael Saylor found a loophole in capitalism.

For four years, he exploited it.

His stock traded at 2.7x the value of its Bitcoin. So he’d sell $270 worth of stock, buy $100 of Bitcoin, and pocket the difference.

Then do it again. And again. And again.

$52 billion later, he owned 3.27% of all the Bitcoin that will ever exist.

687,410 coins. Yes 687,410 BTC as of today!

One man. More Bitcoin than most countries will ever hold.

Wall Street genuflected. CNBC put him on every week. The laser eyes called him a prophet.

Then the premium disappeared.

THE COLLAPSE

October 6, 2025: Bitcoin peaks at $126,000.

December 31, 2025: Bitcoin down 30%. Saylor’s stock down 50%.

The premium that made everything work? Crashed from 2.7x to 1x.

At 1x, there’s no loophole. No spread. No magic.

Just a guy holding $52 billion in Bitcoin with $824 million in annual bills coming due.

THE KILL SHOT NOBODY READ

January 6, 2026. MSCI, the company whose indexes control $17 trillion, announces Strategy stays in the indexes.

Saylor tweets victory. Stock pops 6%. Laser eyes everywhere.

But page 2 of the announcement said this:

“Number of shares frozen for Digital Asset Treasury Companies.”

What that means in Plain English:

When Saylor sells new stock, index funds no longer have to buy it.

The automatic bid that supported his premium for four years?

Gone.

Not reduced. Gone. Yup, Gone!!

The machine didn’t get saved on January 6th.

It got unplugged.

THE MATH THAT SHOULD TERRIFY YOU

Annual preferred dividends: $824 million

Cash on hand: $2.19 billion

Time until empty: 2.6 years

And that assumes he stops buying.

But Saylor won’t stop buying.

He just bought another $1.25 billion in Bitcoin in the first 11 days of January.

At a premium that no longer exists.

Using a machine that no longer works.

WHY THIS MATTERS IF YOU DON’T OWN A SINGLE BITCOIN

Saylor’s company is in the S&P 500.

It’s in your retirement fund. Your index ETF. Your 401k.

If this unwinds, you’re exposed whether you know it or not.

And the February MSCI review is 3 weeks away.

THE QUESTION

Is Michael Saylor:

A) A genius who’ll find another loophole

B) A gambler who just lost his edge

C) About to become the most expensive case study in financial history

The next 90 days will answer it.

$52 billion is waiting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
