good traders almost never talk up their book or seek outside opinions

take a trade, book profit and if you dont then take the lesson

all the big accounts on CT are either sold or were always hacks

ones that are actually wealthy are there from being early and having access to an easy lifestyle,  not from any actual talent or skill

this is the true fallacy of crypto as it is now.. supporting crypto is just supporting Blackrock

no one gives af about decentralisation, cypher punk values or minimising government anymore

it's not early and it's too late to change course. either go with it or get left behind

how can we change this
also i thought you didn’t like memecoins

I don't. I think that they're a plague, but at the same time if it's a known explicit memecoin and not hyped up as something it isn't, and it's pure PvP financial chicken and all parties are privy to that, they're within their rights to participate, and I’m decently good enough at it to play the ones that are transparent at it

Similarly, I dislike Wall Street, but that doesn't mean I haven't held stocks or participated in the stock market, which is far less transparent and even more PvP financial chicken than Bloomberg screen yappers will admit

It really boils down to the same factors that made the internet successful:
1. Faster computers (crypto networks)
2. Secure Internet (HTTPS)

Until the default is this, but in crypto adjacent terms, the internet similarly had the same POV from the public: "it's a fad, it's a scam, I wouldn't dare put my credit card info in that"

good point. i just wish we had more transparency. 

been in this space for a while now and everything lowkey feels like a scam now, little to no transparency.

not sure how we progress from this but it’s not looking good imo
