To make it in this game of investing in crypto requires looking beyond today's momentary narratives and understanding deeper value principles. Most investors get trapped by current hype, chasing trending coins – that are already priced in – and making emotional decisions that rarely lead to meaningful wealth creation. The real opportunity lies in seeing through short-term market sentiments and identifying projects with genuine long-term potential.
Emotional investing is the most insidious trap in financial markets. Investors are psychological beings, driven more by fear and greed than rational analysis. Bitcoin's price trajectory perfectly illustrates this: at $15k in November 2022, investors panicked and fled, viewing the asset as toxic and risky. Fast forward 2 years later, Bitcoin is approaching $100k, and the same asset now attracts billions in capital and widespread leverage. The fundamental technology and core thesis remain unchanged—only human perception has dramatically shifted. This reveals a critical truth: market prices are not reflections of inherent value, but mirrors of collective emotional states.
The key is to transcend market hysteria. Identify projects with robust underlying principles, not fleeting trends. I've been strategically dollar-cost averaging into ecosystems with genuine future potential—particularly gaming coins, Base meme coins and the criminally undervalued Pulsechain ecosystem.
Most investors operate on pure emotion. They'll resist emerging narratives, only to frantically buy in at 10x the original price. This psychological pattern is the hidden engine driving crypto's most explosive growth.
The alt coin season is imminent. Watch Ethereum: once it confidently breaks $4,000, a cascade of alternative coin narratives will emerge. Meme coins and community-driven projects will continue to capture imagination and profits, but the real winners are those who understand the deeper technological and market dynamics at play.
Crypto investing is ultimately a test of emotional discipline. It requires the ability to look beyond current market sentiments, maintain a clear-eyed view of value, and position yourself thoughtfully before the crowd catches on. The most significant opportunities often lie where others see uncertainty—and the courage to act on that insight separates successful investors from the reactive masses.

I sometimes wake up and think what the fuck am I doing in this scam industry. Then I realise, I've been spending too much time with the crowd that I've started to act like a cuck and drank soy with them.
Stepping back to examine my thesis brings crystal clarity. I am surrounded by weak handed pajeets who have never tasted blood. More importantly, I've never been more convicted with what I am holding.
This isn't about price - it's about understanding:
• Market cycles and global liquidity flows
• Mass psychology and human emotions
• Real value in crypto assets ecosystems
• Risk management fundamentals
• Having titanium balls
My investments' core thesis hasn't changed - only prices have. If you need price validation for your thesis, you've already lost.
Remember:
1. The herd gets led to slaughter
2. Victory comes from understanding both macro (fiat debasement, market cycles) and micro (gaming, DeFi, memes etc…)
3. The best marketing is green candles. No matter how promising a project, most won't believe until they see others make a 10x. Human nature values proof over potential - they'll FOMO in at the top, not during accumulation. These are the same pussies who will capitulate at the bottom.
4. Buy maximum fear, sell peak euphoria. Your emotions are often the best counter-indicator.
While others panic over charts, focus on fundamentals.
I will share some picks this week that consist of my core conviction picks across different sectors and networks.
Look after your parents and take them for ice cream,

There is no glory calling the bottom — it's in riding the green candles to the top. Success comes from buying undervalued assets and selling when they become expensive.
Right now, altcoins are exceptionally undervalued. The survivors—those with valuable communities and speculative future value—stand ready for this year's golden bull run.
Mastering patience and emotional control is essential to winning this game. If you're still holding your coins despite being underwater, with plans to ride the full market cycle, congratulations—you're likely among the 5% of crypto investors who actually profit BIG.
That said, be aware that this year will present two distinct opportunities: long-term conviction plays and quick momentum trades. Studies shows the former is where the BIG money is made. The latter is simply attention trading for quick flips, that you can rotate to long-term conviction picks but where most people end up losing and actually underperform vs just buying in depression and selling in euphoria. Given the circles I'm in + to start building a community, I've created a separate channel + lounge for these more speculative "degen" plays - will share in the next few days once markets get more exciting and easier again.
The BasedOG channel will focus solely on the wisdom and insights needed for successful market investing—primarily crypto, but applicable to all investment forms.
I hope you're well-rested. An exciting bull run awaits us this year.
Don't fall off the bull,

The reason why this game is so easy is because the competition is incredibly weak.
Take note of all the cucks who were calling for the bear market the past few days and weeks. Watch them start shifting bullish. The reason? Because the price has changed.

Imagine your go-to source for actionable-knowledge around crypto and investing is from 'Crypto Twitter'.
95% of people's opinion stems from emotion, which is highly dependable on price action.
TLDR: Crypto twitter consists of 95% cucks; if your main source of knowledge which you act upon comes from there, by extension you are a cuck .
Enjoy the Bull Run.
