having everybody doubt you
and then making it
is a weird feeling

I got into DeFi right as it started and my gf soon after brokeup with me saying I'd never get to the top doing things my own way and that I need to growup
she got upset that I wouldn't get a normie job

I went from a few k to a millionaire since then

I'm sure many of you have similar stories
share them

even though I may have "dodged a bullet" I still miss her and wonder if I did anything wrong even though I ended up being right by following through with my passion in trading/investing

I am proud of you anon. Sounds like your gf wasn't right for you, and not to blame you but I bet there were plenty of other signs earlier on. I personally have no time to waste around someone who needs the people in their lives to suffer from all the same normie preconceived notions that they have.

i somewhat know this feel - thankfully my gf is based and gets it. But my parents with high expectations look at me a little funny after I didn't care that I didn't have a job all of 2020 and still now that I got a new job because it obviously doesn't matter to me.

I'm trying to multiply my Ms into 10s or 100s of Ms and just make solid investments for the rest of my life - I only ever put $20k USD into crypto and I've been making good calls since I started. I don't give a fuck about someone else doubting or looking down on me. They will never know what its like to hold these bags

Yeah you're a retard. Retards will never have anything more then luck in crypto because they can't even understand basic patterns. The barest minimum research and pattern recognition and I've been 2x'ing my investment amount every 2 weeks. You're just a midwit. Nothing wrong with that I guess, but crypto really isn't made for you. Just buy and hold.

it's fun, but it doesn't make you respectable if you made a million from DOGE or from the lottery

you draw a caricature of work
i got loads of freedom and very little work pressure

if you got other means of finding meaning good, but i really don't think crypto the way OP describes it fits the bill

This hurts still. And I am suspecting it's the only way to get to the top outside of nepotism.

Think about it. Do you study Robert Frost, or George Orwell in high school because they were average people of their generation? Orwell was ostracized violently by academics and the elite in his lifetime, none of whom you can name in 2021.

Do the sciences not owe most of their body of knowledge to people who questioned the narrative? Complete conformity will end the human experiment.

Once you spend some time observing the characteristics of moonshots before they moon, it's pretty trivial to identify the ones that have that foundation. You'll screw up a few times, but a single 10x will make up for 10 screwups, so it's very profitable. Crypto isn't that complicated. Prices are driven by humans, and humans are simple algorithms. Once you understand how humans think and react as a group it's basically just printing money. You're almost always out just before the price drop, almost always in just before it moons. After that, it's just putting in the work. I started with 200$ earlier this year, coming up on 2k a week. Will probably take it to 20-50k a week before I have serious problems with scaling.

>tips
From a macro perspective, operate knowing that you're still super fucking early.
I fucked up by not realizing how early I was into a lot of things.
Example:
Aave at $30, I could've bought more but I figured
"oh everybody already knows about aave, I should look for more obscure projects"
and of course now aave is at over $500

my main advice is to network network network
If you're a lone wolf in this game you're ngmi for long
I can't stress the importance of this enough

technical analysis is a waste of time and there's a reason why TA crypto traders on twitter are all neurotic as fuck

diamond handing and pattern recognition > TA, day trading, etc.

treat crypto like you're an early stage venture capitalist, not an autistic "trader"

there are methods to finding gem projects earlier than everybody else but if I shared those methods they'd quickly become saturated

>I bet there were plenty of other signs earlier on
some major red flags I saw:
I once told her I wanted to eventually invest in rental properties for cashflow once I got enough money.
She told me houses are a depreciating asset.
I tried explaining to her otherwise but she just said "my teacher told me they're depreciating assets" and I gave up on explaining my reasoning after that lol.
I also had a designer clothing flipping side business at the time. I tried to explain to her that some of the profit I made would go back into inventory so I could continue scaling it.
She described it as "recycling money" which is brainlet as fuck to say.
She comes from a poverty background but I at least expected her to shut the fuck up and trust me instead of arguing with me about things like what I've mentioned.

>I personally have no time to waste around someone who needs the people in their lives to suffer from all the same normie preconceived notions that they have.
This is a good mindset to have.
I genuinely thought she was different, turns out I'm wrong in hindsight.
I need to find a based gf who supports my trader neet lifestyle.
