Hello everyone,
Due to popular demand, I've created this channel to share my insights and strategies in the crypto space, particularly in the realms of crypto gaming tokens and meme tokens.
I've been involved with crypto since 2019, but it was during the 2022 bear market that I became actively focused on accumulating tokens. While people were crying and jeeting their already bleeding bags, I was strategically accumulating tokens that I believe will perform exceptionally well over the next 6-18 months. However, what might be of particular interest to you degen traders is my heavy focus on base meme coins for the past 5 months. During this period, I've been intensely concentrated on maximizing opportunities within this specific niche of the market and have made over $80,000 just from Base meme coin trading.
My primary goals are twofold: to equip you with sound investment principles that will enable you to thrive during the upcoming bull market, and to provide strategies for preserving and growing your wealth.
This channel won't be a typical "buy this coin, buy that coin" type of channel. Instead, the content will revolve around robust investment principles derived from the wisdom of great investors and my own experiences.
During the upcoming bull market, my aim is to become a multi-millionaire, and I have strategies in place to ensure that I don't roundtrip any of my investments, while cashing out my profits into realised assets.
While I will occasionally recommend tokens that I believe are worth investing in, the majority won't be for momentary trades. These tokens will be ones that I believe should be held for at least 2-3 months, and I will provide detailed justifications and insights for each recommendation.
Please note that nothing I say here should be construed as financial advice. Use the information I provide to your advantage, but always exercise your own judgment and conduct thorough research. Take ownership and responsibility for your action. This is how you level up.
My goal is to educate and empower you, building a network of strong, principled individuals with solid investment mindsets, ready to tackle personal and global challenges in the years ahead.
Comments are enabled for collaborative discussions on each post.
If you're reading this, you're incredibly early, and you should consider yourself fortunate to have found yourself among winners.
This is just the beginning of BasedOG, and I'm excited to see where this journey takes us.

Another rule chads: the market is irrational, but that's where opportunity lies.
If you've done your homework and truly believe in a project, use these dips to load up.
For example, my conviction and thesis on Pormie + seeing this dip makes me want to increase my position further. However I have substantial bags which were bought at 40-60k so my margin of safety is excellent right now. If I had no bags, i'd consider buying here.
Most people just follow the herd like sheep. But the real money is made by thinking for yourself and having the conviction to go against the crowd when the facts are on your side.
Learn this game inside out. Question everything. And when you find something you genuinely believe in, back it up without letting temporary noise shake you. That's how you win.
And always manage risk - anything can go to 0 in crypto....

Hello Chads.
I'm your vessel in this game, sharing alpha for free. Not selling anything, just aiming for you to make money and live the life you want to. If your brain is so fried you can't spend a few minutes reading these messages, you deserve to lose and remain poor. The world is not crazy enough to reward undeserving people, and in the eyes of many, you will look undeserving.
That said, I want to talk about the most important aspect to win as an investor: Risk, more precisely managing risk.
To win as an investor and not get sucked into the crowd of degen jeets who will roundtrip their gains, FOMO during green candles or sell when there is blood on the streets even though the asset in question is destined for higher returns, you must have that knowledge advantage - which in reality helps you minimize risk.
You want projects at the end of the risk curve. What does this mean? When you deeply understand a project through research and feeling out the community, looking at the leadership team, understanding the potential of the product, you remove uncertainty.
People traditionally see big price drops as signaling high risk and vice versa. This, however, is far from the truth.
Warren Buffett says the traditional way of measuring risk taught in universities is flawed. It's not about a big price drop signaling high risk. True risk, according to Buffett and Munger, is a lack of knowledge advantage. Risk is not understanding the technology, industry, etc. That's the real risk - operating in a world you don't comprehend.
If you learn and understand a company or asset inside-out through rigorous research, who cares if it's down 90% or hasn't been "bought up" yet? You know the future potential, so you're taking an educated chance. As Benjamin Graham says, the market is a voting machine in the short term, but a weighing machine in the long run. And you are weighing up your thesis to be your golden ticket to mega gains if you did your homework correctly.
Real risk is your investment thesis being incorrect. The university-taught notion that a massive price drop automatically means high risk is misguided and outdated. It's a paradigm shift.
This is why we remain bullish on crypto. We understand bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, Ethereum and its burning supply, the potential of new projects which can change the way we see web3 gaming or the cultural significance of meme coins, and the casino dynamic around speculative assets. As we uncover these nuanced ideas, our conviction strengthens daily.
People ask why we keep holding. That's because they're stuck working jobs or remain dependent on a dying system while we're in the trenches preparing for our moon missions. Of course, they'll never grasp assets like crypto, or perhaps more closer to home, your specific thesis on a certain coin - they haven't done the hard work of understanding the fundamentals, communities, memes, and narratives driving this space.
If you rely on pure speculation and luck, your conviction will likely be so fragile that you'll panic sell at the first big red candle instead of buying more. Or you'll grow impatient, wondering why your asset hasn't "mooned" yet despite lacking a thorough understanding of its fundamentals.
We see prices responding in real-time, punishing forgotten projects with weak communities and outdated tech. But for the projects where we have a knowledge advantage, we stay committed because we deeply comprehend the potential.
In crypto, cultivating a knowledge advantage through arduous research is how you minimize risk over the long run. Stay curious, keep learning, and gain that edge.
If you read till the end, I believe you will win in this game.

Fellow investors,
I hope you had a rejuvenating weekend. As we embark on a new week, remember that true wealth encompasses not just financial prosperity but also physical and mental well-being. Neglecting your health and happiness would be a grave mistake, so I took a few days off to enjoy the final few days of May before the fun really begins.
I'm thrilled to share that I see an influx of volume returning to the markets, with this growing gradually and exponentially over the next few months. In the interim, I will create a wealth of invaluable insights and wisdom to share with you in bite-sized, digestible portions. If you haven't already, I highly recommend reviewing my previous messages to get an idea of the messaging to expect.
To ensure you have ample time to absorb and reflect on the knowledge imparted, I will be releasing 2-3 concise yet substantive posts each week. This measured approach will prevent any dilution of the value I aim to deliver – similar to how you attract a woman or win in business negotiations.
While my recent meme coin trades yielded substantial profits, true lasting wealth will be attained by adhering to the time-tested principles of buying low and selling high. During the 2022 bear market depths, I strategically accumulated assets poised to soar during the impending bull run, which I intend to offload later this year or early next.
One crucial lesson I've learned is the importance of front-running the narrative. Chasing green candles is akin to missing the train – you want to be positioned before the crowd catches on, when sentiment is at its most pessimistic. Assuming you've conducted thorough research, there are currently numerous high-quality cryptocurrencies trading at irrationally low prices. Seize these opportune moments to accumulate.
As I mentioned before, I expect a lot of attention and interest in the cryptocurrency holdings I currently own within the next 3 months. When that happens, I will start the second part of my investment plan - slowly selling those holdings over time.
I will use a strategy called dollar cost averaging to sell portions of my holdings at set price levels and/or percentage gains, rather than trying to sell everything at the perfect top of the market. This allows me to capture gains while reducing risk from market volatility. It is better to have time in the market than timing the market.
Patience and sticking to my rules for selling will be crucial, just as discipline was needed when originally buying these assets. I won't get tempted to sell everything early or change the plan based on short-term swings. Following the strategy calmly will lead to the best outcome.
Now, there is still time to accumulate certain coins which have great risk/reward so don't feel like it is too late to invest. Remember when I mentioned the importance to front-running the narrative? No-one is talking about crypto gaming.
Money follows attention, and gaming coins are poised to capture the spotlight imminently. This is your hint – capitalize on it wisely.

Greetings, fellow investors!
Apologies for my recent absence. I've been intensely focused on navigating the exhilarating realm of meme coin trading.
A few months ago, I made the pivotal decision to leave my job and immerse myself fully in the crypto sphere – a choice that has proven immensely rewarding. I'm now consistently generating daily profits that surpass my former monthly salary.
Meme coin trading is a whirlwind of volume and attention. With the right investing fundamentals - understanding market cycles, human emotions, value - applied to shorter timeframes, immense gains await.
One fundamental aspect I wish to emphasize is the pivotal role of knowledge advantage, this time through the lens of your network. It's often said that you are the product of your five closest companions, and this adage extends seamlessly into the digital realm. If your circle consists of emotionally volatile, financially destitute individuals who succumb to paltry 2x gains, you risk inheriting their broke, resentful mindset.
The same principle applies to the numerous groups you inhabit. If you find yourself amidst hundreds of strangers in chaotic group chats, where it's a constant player-versus-player battle and you become mere exit liquidity, you'll forever chase your tail, mired in brokenness.
The objective here is to surround yourself with high-caliber individuals – trustworthy, knowledgeable, mature, and consistently victorious. This energy will gravitate towards you. You can collaborate, strategize, and triumph as a cohesive tribe, eliminating the incessant noise and distractions that plague larger Telegram groups. This mirrors the rationale behind avoiding crypto knowledge from influencers with hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram and TikTok. By missing the curve, you surrender your knowledge advantage, increasing your risk exposure and perpetuating a cycle of financial stagnation.
The moral of the story is this: surround yourself with top-tier individuals you can trust, cultivate your competencies, filter out the cacophony of irrelevant channels and noise, and maintain a laser-focused, precise approach to your goals. This is the path to victory – the path I've embraced, both in the short-term through trading meme coins on a fundamental basis and in the long-term through my crypto gaming hold bags accumulated since 2022.
FYI everyone is talking about meme coins. No one is talking about gaming coins. This is the next narrative…Use this information as you will.
If you've read this far, you are a winner, one step closer to conquering this game.

In these turbulent times, belief is the main game. Just as living life by principles and virtues – embodying your very existence in these timeless ideals – you must also do so with crypto and your investments during emotional times like now. This is exactly what I am doing with my biggest crypto conviction picks, which are in crypto gaming.
Belief is the sacred mantra, but it arises from rational analysis, not blind faith. Without rock-solid conviction, you cannot prevail. Technical indicators, listening to influencers and moon astrology are distractions; conviction built on fundamentals is your path. Have the tenacity to say "My thesis remains sound, the market is simply irrational. I will hold firm based on my research and reasons." Logic and analysis underpin your stance, but you cannot let emotions overwhelm that foundation. Balanced conviction integrating rational and emotional elements ensures you withstand this cycle's tests. Markets are voting machines short-term, but weigh fundamentals long-term. Assuming your thesis remains intact, all you need is patience and belief.
Our rallying cry echoes, "I know you will rise one day." The when and how may elude us, but we hold steadfast unless our fundamental thesis crumbles. This unshakable spirit is our lifeblood. Embrace the powerful mindset, especially when adversity strikes or prices plummet as we are seeing right now with many of our beloved alt coins.
Ultimately, you're betting on who will endure through the red candles. The bull market starts only when you slay the final bull, and I am seeing blood almost everywhere.
While the gaming narrative seems lifeless, I've re-deployed my meme coin profits into my high-conviction gaming picks - coins I've been accumulating since late 2022 and early 2023 based on deep analysis. The end of 2023 saw massive pumps, but now many altcoins, including previously pumped gaming coins, bleed out amidst the meme mania - back near pre-pump levels. This exemplifies how markets offer second chances to all but only those who are blessed with vision and conviction will take.
As the herd chases memes, each dip in the other altcoins is an opportunity to re-evaluate your investment theses with a judicious eye. If fundamentals hold, irrational pricing allows accumulating quality assets obscured by fear and euphoria. The market's cyclical irrationality is a gift - renewing your ability to load up on sound projects at attractive levels. Turning crisis into opportunity separates those building dynastic wealth from gamblers hopping trains.
Yes, I've profited handsomely from meme coins (approximately $200,000 now since late Feb) by being constantly active in this 'neo-2020 DeFi summer'; and I will continue to profit until the music stops. But the true wealth lies in long-term conviction picks.
As I've reminded you, the richest made their fortunes from investing, not trading. I'll make millions from holding quality crypto gaming tokens, not meme trades. Meme coins are a deadly game, and I'm reluctant to hold any for too long. A handful, however, reside in my hodl bags, but that's a tale for another time.
I have one crown jewel in my portfolio, a gaming coin that I call my "golden ticket." This is a conviction play that I'm extremely bullish on. Soon, I'll write an essay unveiling why I'm bullish on this gem through the lenses of market cycles, human behavioural economics, investor fundamentals, the burgeoning crypto gaming narrative, the coin itself and my own experiences. Stay tuned.
This is my supreme belief for this cycle. And in this crypto game, as well as in life, belief is the seed that blooms into victory.

Crypto's a brutal game. At least 90% of you will get eaten alive if you're not prepared. But fear not – my posts are your blueprint for success in this digital jungle.
We're on a quest for the undiscovered – those glittering gems that'll skyrocket in value. But here's the catch: value in crypto comes from attention, product market fit, network effects, and community. Once a project is a household name, there's little room for explosive growth.
To win in this game, you need to dive deep into the trenches. Seek out those untouched, unspoken-of projects. When you stumble upon one with intrinsic value and potential, apply the sacred principles: risk management, conviction-building, and unwavering belief. This is your path to victory.
Look at Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger – they made high-conviction bets in obscure niches and emerged victorious. It's the same reason people were bullish on Ethereum and De-Fi in late 2019 and early 2020, and why I'm now bullish on crypto gaming now. Gaming coins are at bottom prices, yet they could be the first mass adoption niche for blockchain and crypto. We just need one unicorn to find the winning web3 gaming model, and I believe I've found it. In August-September when the second phase of the bull run begins, watch the narrative shift from meme coins to these overlooked gems.
Low market cap, low attention, high potential projects are goldmines. It's why Base succeeded, TON is promising, and gaming coins will moon.
But remember: risk management is your shield. When everyone's dancing, the music's about to stop. If the big players are already in or if the masses are foaming at the mouth, you're too late. That mindset will keep you poor. If you're betting on already-massive network effects, you're not the predator – you're the prey. Don't be the last fool holding the bag.
The key? Be early. Understand Metcalfe's Law, see the upside potential and recognize that in crypto's parabolic world, the earliest adopters might be incentivized to crush newcomers if prices surge too quickly. The margin of safety is your lifeline.
Our mission is clear: unearth those hidden gems, then apply ironclad investor fundamentals with unwavering discipline. We buy deep-value, contrarian assets. We hold through the bloodbath of red candles, feeling we may be blessed again for the four-year cycle to work its magic.
That's my play with two specific coins: a Base meme coin and a promising gaming token. Details coming soon.
And Remember, if your thesis is correct, you will succeed with two essential qualities: conviction and patience; for patience makes kings out of slaves.

Gaming coins are at bottom prices, yet they could be the first mass adoption niche for blockchain and crypto. We just need one unicorn to find the winning web3 gaming model, and I believe I've found it. In August-September when the second phase of the bull run begins, watch the narrative shift from meme coins to these overlooked gems.
Low market cap, low attention, high potential projects are goldmines. It's why Base succeeded, TON is promising, and gaming coins will moon.
But remember: risk management is your shield. When everyone's dancing, the music's about to stop. If the big players are already in or if the masses are foaming at the mouth, you're too late. That mindset will keep you poor. If you're betting on already-massive network effects, you're not the predator – you're the prey. Don't be the last fool holding the bag.
The key? Be early. Understand Metcalfe's Law, see the upside potential and recognize that in crypto's parabolic world, the earliest adopters might be incentivized to crush newcomers if prices surge too quickly. The margin of safety is your lifeline.
Our mission is clear: unearth those hidden gems, then apply ironclad investor fundamentals with unwavering discipline. We buy deep-value, contrarian assets. We hold through the bloodbath of red candles, feeling we may be blessed again for the four-year cycle to work its magic.
That's my play with two specific coins: a Base meme coin and a promising gaming token. Details coming soon.
And Remember, if your thesis is correct, you will succeed with two essential qualities: conviction and patience; for patience makes kings out of slaves.

I love the colour red. It symbolizes vitality, courage, and passion—but in the red financial markets today, all I see is blood, which often represents opportunity.
With Bitcoin hovering around $55,000 and Ethereum dipping below $3,000, market sentiment is rife with uncertainty. Investors fret about further declines, portfolio losses, and the elusive bull market. People lacking experience or a viable thesis are suffering right now. However, for those who've done their due diligence, this chatter is merely background noise.
These moments of market irrationality present golden opportunities to reinforce your investment thesis and capitalize on undervalued assets. Many claim they would have bought at the bottom, but fail to recognize when we're actually there. Can you sense the palpable fear in the air?
I relish these periods. They're the perfect time to act decisively while others hesitate. As Warren Buffett famously advised, "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."
Remember, calculated risk-taking often goes hand in hand with luck. While past performance doesn't guarantee future results, those who maintain a long-term perspective may find the coming months particularly rewarding.
Stay focused, trust your research, and seize the opportunities that volatility presents. As you navigate this turbulent market, remember:
1) Conviction in the face of doubt: Others may initially label you as deluded for your contrarian stance.
2) Success breeds skepticism: Later, they might attribute your gains to mere luck.
3) Validation of strategy: These reactions often signal you're on the right path.
The ability to maintain your course despite skepticism is a hallmark of successful investors. While specific predictions are risky, maintaining a positive outlook can be beneficial. Keep your enthusiasm tempered with prudence, and let your well-researched decisions guide you through the market's ups and downs.
Remember, the market rewards patience and disciplined execution of a sound strategy. Stay vigilant, adapt as needed, but don't let short-term noise distract you from your long-term goals.
Most importantly, remember to be thankful to those who love you,

Dear friends,
I apologise for my recent absence. I found myself falling into the trap of short-term crypto trading degeneracy, but have since regained clarity and perspective through time spent in the mountains of Switzerland and Northern Italy.
As the blood of fallen bulls runs thick in the streets, it is now more critical than ever to fortify your mind and sharpen your skills around investing and crypto. Those who rely on the fleeting euphoria of quick trades are akin to mercenaries with no allegiance – they may plunder a village or two, but when the tides of war turn, as they have now, they'll be the first to fall on the battlefield.
Yet, I believe there is reason for optimism. As the saying goes, the bull market doesn't start until you kill the final bull. When sentiment is at its lowest, that's often when the next stage of the bull market is about to begin. I suspect we'll see a major shift in sentiment and momentum as we head towards the end of August and start of September – a new dawn will break as the summer dies.
I'm in the trenches with you, my friends. I've navigated the treacherous waters of the crypto markets and learned some crucial lessons along the way:
1. Unshakeable belief and conviction are your life rafts in the roughest waters. Hold on tight to your vision.
2. Trading is for soy-boys: it lures many, but leads most to ruin. True riches are earned through long-term investing.
3. The bear market of 2022 was a painful but powerful teacher. It stripped away the hype and forced me to grapple with what really matters in crypto investing.
4. My investing bags are packed, and I expect the fruits of my labour to pay off in the coming months as sentiment shifts to be more risk-on, liquidity increases, new users enter the space and my thesis around crypto gaming becomes a reality.
In recent months, I found great success in momentum trading meme coins, making six-figure gains. But as thrilling as those short-term gains were, I realised I was falling into the same trap as so many others – mistaking a few lucky rolls of the dice for a sound long-term strategy. Now, with bearish sentiment and low trading volume, those same gains are impossible to replicate. More importantly, 99% of the coins that brought me success are now essentially worthless, hence the strategy was never to hold them for the long-term.
The truth is, constantly buying and selling is like trying to sprint a marathon. A few might make it to the finish line by chance, but most will collapse from exhaustion long before the race is over. Real wealth is built slowly and steadily, riding the 4-year waves from bear to bull and back again.
Many think getting rich means constantly flipping dozens of coins. But this is a player vs player (PvP) game, also known as trading, where you're banking on others losing. It's an unsustainable mindset that will drain your energy and finances, without building real skills.
Trading is often akin to relying on people's wagers at a slot machine for your income, where the odds are stacked against them. In this scenario, you are extracting value rather than creating it, much like a leech. In contrast, true investing is about generating value, similar to building a restaurant that serves delicious meals to satisfied customers. This approach is more fulfilling, as it stems from an abundance mentality - a mindset that has been proven to be the most effective way to build wealth. The world's top 100 richest individuals are primarily entrepreneurs or investors, both of whom facilitate value creation. None of them are primarily traders.

Investing in valuable, productive projects and narratives expands the overall economic pie, benefiting all participants. In contrast, trading is akin to competing over scraps in a cutthroat arena. The former approach creates a warm, welcoming space where people can thrive, while the latter is a cramped, ruthless environment where victories tend to be fleeting. This trading-centric dynamic has been the predominant market environment (PVP) up until this point during the current crypto market cycle.
As we enter the next stage of the bull run, It's time to shift your mindset to think more like an investor rather than a trader. Instead of constantly seeking the next speculative "100x" shit-coin that will pump and dump, and to which you lack any competitive edge causing you to lose again, consider the broader macroeconomic environment and how you can position yourself to win. Key factors include rising global liquidity, continued expansion of the money supply, and increasing mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency. Use this relatively quieter market period to thoroughly research projects and narratives that you believe are well-positioned to thrive in the coming 3-9 months.
Look for industries with real use cases and strong potential for web3 mass adoption like crypto gaming. Or consider meme coins with strong communities, dedicated believers, compelling narratives, and low market caps (some examples of meme coins I am holding throughout the bull run are Normus and Misser - their contract addresses are written in the comments). Meme coins have been the standout performers of this cycle, and for good reason.
People are increasingly wary of high market cap, VC-backed projects with lofty fully diluted valuations. Instead, they're seeking the potential for 100-1000x returns by identifying and capturing promising tokens early, while their market caps are still low. The true power of meme coins lies not in any groundbreaking technology or alleged utility, but in the strength and sentiment of their communities. Like Bitcoin, these are pure speculation vehicles, deriving their value from the collective belief and enthusiasm of their holders.
Understanding the underlying philosophy and drivers behind the success of meme coins as a whole is the key to spotting the winners and anticipating the future narratives that will shape during the bull run (which I believe will include crypto-gaming). But remember, 99% of meme coin projects are rubbish. Most have the lifespan and nutritional value of a sugary candy – they'll rot your teeth and your portfolio.
The key is to apply rigorous investment principles to separate the rare gems from the abundance of fool's gold. Focus on projects with truly dedicated communities, compelling stories, and room for explosive growth. This way, you'll be well-positioned to ride the rising tides while avoiding the many sinkholes in this space.
So my friends, do not be lured by the seductive whispers of quick trading profits. As the legendary investor Warren Buffett warns, "Wall Street's business model is to keep you in the casino, taking croupier chips off the table." Those who dance to that tune are like soldiers who rush headlong into battle without strategy, seeking glory in a single skirmish. They may taste victory briefly, but they risk all for naught.
Take this time of relative calm to lay your foundation. Heed the words of Charlie Munger: "Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up." Dive deep into research, continuously expand your knowledge, and invest with resolute conviction in projects you believe have the potential to shape the future or capture the attention of the masses; for money follows attention.
I've glimpsed the promised land, my friends. I've savoured the sweet nectar of 100x gains, felt my mind expand and my wealth surge. As my star has risen, so too have the marriage proposals – a tempting prospect, given the allure of taking up to four wives.
