Hard to pump
Easy to dump
Shows that retail doesn't really have alot of money to throw into millions of coins scattered out there...
It's really a serious game out there

If you're owing your landlord and you don't even know where to get the money to pay him, months run fast.

If you, as the landlord is patiently waiting for money from your tenant to settle some depressing bills that's on your neck, months will run slowly.

Anticipation influences time perception.

Now, back to crypto.

Enter a short trade and you'll realize even the dump is not easy to come by as you said.

I have been on a short from 109k for close to two weeks now and the lowest it went was 105k. What stops it from going to 95 or 85k so I can sell my shorts since dumping is easy? You see?

What I'm just trying to say is, "No side is easy, but the grass always seem greener on the other side."

The side your hope is on will always move like a snail until you switch side, then you know they're both snails.

The power of zero anticipation.

This is the best season even though it's the most painful for the most hopeful.

This season has taught you

1. The pains of losing money (now you'll be forced to learn and master financial management over emotional trading).

2. Patience. With this season, you now understand what patience or exhaustion truly is. You no longer need to read a book on it.

3. Moderation. Now you'll moderate your hope and expectations — which will help you mentally in never panicking when things aren't going your way.

4. Anger management. Most newbies had a first hand experience of what anger and pains feel like. It got to a point they didn't know who to vent their angers on.


Summary: This season is the worst to most financially, but best in lessons to everyone and it'll help in the future.

So, you guys should be patient and also take your pains and losses as fee for the gruesome lessons so far.

That's what I will see with shaking the pic

He is right and I got it in just one look. If you want to see how 8 looks, then look at the one after 3.

Two people here have dealt with us and one of them is left out and that's sad.

Let's give him a chance to deal with us. At least, he might help destroy the Naira from 1560/$ to 7000/$.

Please, has the presidency checked on their first class citizens in the bush? The Fulanis, the killer herdsmen and cows. I hope they're safe?

There used to be a troll that talks about bank being fractional reserve and how the market is about time and price and everyone should avoid crypto or something like that blah blah blah.

How time flies. I find it hard to remember his moniker, but I remember his agenda.

What about Aza coin that never allowed us rest with his verified Twitter page. Nigerians and hustling. 😂

Rely on AI at your own risk.
No matter the hype ,AI is not the way to go especially in health matters .

When the idea of plane and telephone came, a group of men said impossible.

When light came, they said the same.

When internet came, the same.

The worst and the one most of them said will never materialize is a phone without a pad. They said it's impossible and if it dares happen, they won't use or trust it.

Some of those men are still alive in America and they all use iPhone and not the keypad phones they once loved. What changed? Haha.

Currently, laptop will soon follow. Some Chinese companies are already doing it.

Also, that your Ppsignal indicator is very powerful.
I ignored following the SMA line lately and I was bitten severely.
My advice is to keep updating us with trading strategies.
Knowledge is not lost. My only regret was not taking BTC/crypto seriously when it was very cheap when I had the opportunities.
I listen to a lot of doubting Thomas who discouraged me about the uncertainties in crypto trading.
What I have learnt in life is that no one is coming to save you. Just do your thing and with time one becomes better.
My advice to others is just to ignore side distraction and focus on learning new things eg crypto, stocks etc.
Those discouraging you won't be available in the time of needs.
Thumbs up.

On point.

With $2m, $2,000 or $200 you can operate ROGI, the BiG RaT.

For me and my family, I love the BiG entries, but for some adventure, I partake in the RaT race once in a while—just as I did last two weeks.

My Sol short position from $155 isn't sold yet and it's in good profit.

That is risky, but I did it to please the RaT.

Summary: Define your setup ahead of time and whenever you enter a trade, be able to know the setup before you enter, else don't.

Great men always say what doesn't get measured doesn't get accomplished.

I don't know why I'm too fond of coming up with acronyms for everything I do. Even when I don't want to, it comes to me by default.

Based on the set-up, there are 10 setups and I grouped them, see image below. The grouping gave birthday to the ROGI the BiG RaT acronym. Funny but works for me.

Also, below is "an example" of money allocation for each setup.

(ROGI, the BiG-RaT)

MONEY ALLOCATION FOR ALL 10 BUY STAGES

Refer to the image below. If I post those values, the anti-spam bot will take down the post.

Always ask yourself, is this trade BiG (high probability) or is it RaT (low probability)? Never enter a trade without assessing a trade's ROGI, the BiG RaT.

Real-buy, Okay-buy, Gamble-buy, Impatient-buy = ROGI.

Best-probability, Good-probability = BG or BiG.
Risky-probability, Terrible-probability = RT or RaT.

Sounds silly, but works. Boring and silly things always work in crypto over the rest.

The type of patience I'm building, but not the way I'll move $1.1B. I'll at least send $1000 to see if it'll arrive.

Pls ask yourself these questions at this current market condition and tell us the answers

I have already done it 10 days ago and the result was 2/6 = B setup. With the 8 extra bonus, which all came out no, it'll be 2/14, which is still B setup.

Only Double Relative Strength Index and The Wall of Jericho touched and that was when BTC came down to 98k.

It was on Sunday, a no trade day for me, so I couldn't buy, but bought on Monday, at 100k.

You see this double relative strength indicator, it's just toooo powerful. Never misses. It's a secret I don't want my enemies to know cuz if they do, they'll start making money. The indicator never misses BTC call on 1 week TF and even 1 day and 1 month.

I think one of the reasons I don't like the U.S., or why I wouldn't want to go to the U.S., is this — their tax filing bullshit.

I registered some companies in the U.S., in the state of Wyoming. Each company cost me $300 in 2019. Yeah, they gave me an EIN, which I use to bypass tax, but they keep sending me messages — the company I used to open it keeps telling me I should fill this form every year, blah blah blah.

But I don’t always log in to fill the form. You know, as a Nigerian, we are just too reluctant with anything tax-related. We’re not used to it. I didn’t even bother.

So now, I just feel like any day I go to America, they’re going to arrest me, check my details, and say, “Hey, tax evasion — you’re in trouble.”

I have already fulfiled all my traveling dreams and anything concerning abroad, especially America feels boring and stressful. I'd rather go to a peaceful African country if I want to travel or Asia. America and Europe is a no-no.

Anyway, if you want to create a US company LLC, I recommend them, but you can do your research to see if there are better alternatives.

Imagine 😱
1million Naira settlement after serving for 7yrs?
Thats pure slavery

When serving

1. The oga didn't feed him, he fed himself.
2. The oga didn't pay for his transport to work, he paid it himself.
3. The oga house him, he paid his own rent.
4. The oga didn't teach him the business side of the business, the boy hired an external body to teach him, right?

If so, the 1m is really bad. Almajiris make 300 million per year. Kindly meet the boy and show him your best alternative, Mr. smart.

1 million was probably agreed when Naira had value, but you people voted incompetent leaders who devalued our currency too many times.

That's what they do to most black players when they want to destroy them.

Every state wants to portray a good image even if it's to hide crime.

Today na today. Ile.gend don enter una hand today. 😜. See as I dey laugh since morning. Where that oloribu somebody where say him name na seeeahala make him come write bible for us. Lol

After some days, it dies and they move on. I'd recommend they read this post below I found on Binance and do what that guy is doing to make money.

iL.egend has always been their main target from day 1. Those people are from Romance Section of Nairaland. We lived a life of bluntness and violence there and they carried it over with new monikers to Investment section. They came with a mindset of "cruise as usual."

They're here because of me. If I quit this thread, few months later, you won't see any of them. I'm the real sh!t that brought the flies here.

All these things were 100% free back then in my community. The ones you don't have, your neighbour has and they'll give you for free and everyone lived a healthy life.

Every household had at least 20 varieties of fruits and vegetables in their compounds — it was like a tradition and normal. No compound was exempted. Even if everywhere was tiled — they'll make room to plant fruits.

But today, they told us book is the only way to survive instead of telling us practical is the only way and book is supplementary.

Every family wanted to have graduates in their homes, not healthy farmers.

Today, most graduates' salary in Nigeria can't afford the content of that fridge.

70% on food, 20% on transportation, 5% on data and 5% on survival.

Rat race introduced to us by our learned parents and the government.

Anything that involves money in this 21st century, don't trust your parents and the government, especially if your parents are poor or even middle class.

Ilegend please ignore that troll for the sake of peace of this thread..instead of replying him.. just use the "block" button or use the report button..other people too should do the same to the worthless troll

I don't like blocking people, but did yesterday and today cuz I was getting mentioned, but I wasn't reading those mentions, so I felt it's just better to cut off what you don't read to create sanity for what you read.

Someone trolling me? Wow! Can the person do it for 5 years nonstop? If no, he isn't worth it. I like determined people. Only 1 or 2 people on Nairaland did it to me for 5 years and today, I can't even remember their monikers.

Trolls don't last. Lack of responsibility or depression is the reason they have time to troll. It's a way to escape the pains they face in real life.

Our jobs as sensible humans is to always wish them speedy recovery.

In Nigeria, mental health is not taken seriously but 70% or more of the youths are mentally fatigued and some are at the point of giving up in life. Social media violence is their last hope for joy and laughter.

Trust me, Nigerian youths are going through a lot, especially the men, and most especially the first sons or the ones from poor homes.

My prayer is for great things to happen in their lives and they'll finally understand how precious the time they waste online are.

The screenshot above is from 5th of August 2024 chart, when BTC fell to 49 or 48k and people were chanting "we're going lower, don't buy yet."

If you arm yourself with what I just gave for free above, you won't be among them again, but since it free and easily given, you won't see the value. #FACT!

The game the people who control the market play is simple.

Exhaust them for 2 hours or 2 days or 2 weeks or 2 months or worse, but rarely, 2 years before you move.

Within these period, the market will consolidate within a range and play with your emotions. It's designed that way to push you to make hundreds of errornous decisions and stay restless.

The only people who will benefit from this torture are those who have already made their decisions ahead of time and are sticking to it because they understand history and also those who invest and walk away because their are more fun things for them to do in life than crypto.

I'll post an individual image for the 6 main things I listed.

When the market pumps or dumps, the first question I ask myself is:

1. Is the weekly volume Twice As Tall? Meaning: Does it touch the 20 SMA blue volume line?
Secondly, I ask
2. Did the Volume VSA print a yellow or red?
Thirdly, I ask
3. Is the grey line of Double Relative Strength Index at the bottom?

Then, the remaining two questions are

4. Where in The Wall of Jericho and China did it touch and hence, which setup did it produce?
5. Did at least, Volume Spike 1.2 hit? Did it touch the orange line above?

When all these things are yes, I finally check my USDT dominance chart, that is, if I haven't checked it already before the analysis.

The above are my default routine checks on 1 week timeframe, then I'll consider my other bonus 8-10 checks just for extra confidence and confluence.

The moment 90% and above on the list says yes, I sell my kidney and buy with ZERO PERCENT fear. Even if it tried to go lower, I don't panic — it's part of the fakeout game they play and they'll attempt it 3 times just to scare weak hands.

For someone like me who already knows it's fakeout moves and still have backups to buy more, I'll be wishing for it to truly go WAY lower, but it never does except the usual 5-7k lower (fakeout) it likes to do. This has always been the story since the inception of BTC.

The above is exactly how I think when No-DJ or A+ Setups present themselves.

We've had 3 A+ Setups from 2023 to 2025.

Some billionaires and institutions save money for only No-DJ and A+ Setups, but the normal retail is jumping on every setups. How can you outsmart them? Never.

They buy low and sell higher, but you buy higher and await to sell higher. Sometimes, it'll work for you, but most times, it won't. You'll bleed as usual and scream "manipulation."

So you no want make smart people wey buy at A+ take profit?

3 years, A & A+ traders only took 3-6 trades. Can you imagine the discipline? Boring, right?

Fund managers sit in silence as a risk management expert explains optimal portfolio allocation.

"Never more than 2% in any position," he insists.

From the back, a quiet voice:

“What if you’re right?”

The room turns. It’s BNF—making a rare public appearance.

The expert smiles condescendingly.
"That’s gambling, not investing."

BNF stands.

“I put 40% of my capital in JCOM—one trade. Was that gambling? Or was that certainty, based on mathematical deviation and sector analysis?
Diversification assumes you don’t know what will happen.
But what if you do?

What if, for brief moments, the market becomes predictable? Should you still diversify then?”

He leaves before anyone can respond.

The room remains silent long after,
each trader questioning everything they’d been taught.

Stanley Druckenmiller, who famously bet huge on the British pound with Soros, validated this approach in 2024:

“The best trades of my life were when I sized up dramatically. Not because I was gambling—but because the opportunity was so clear that not betting big would’ve been the real risk.”

Here’s something hilarious:

When I told my risk-averse friend about BNF’s concentration, he nearly fainted.

“That’s insane,” he said—while checking his 47 different mutual funds that have underperformed the market for a decade.

Sometimes, the real risk is playing it too safe.

This principle separated winners from losers in 2025’s meme stock resurgence.

While responsible traders put 2% into obvious setups, BNF's disciples bet big—and made life-changing money.

One trader turned $50,000 into $2 million on a single biotech deviation play—using 80% of his capital.

Reckless?
Or recognition of rare certainty?

The market offers two types of opportunities:

Probable
Inevitable

Most traders can’t tell the difference, so they diversify. BNF could—so he didn’t.

The question isn't whether to concentrate. It's whether you've earned the right to.

When was the last time you were absolutely certain about a trade?

Did you bet accordingly—or did you let fear, disguised as risk management, limit your potential?

As you begin to recognize those moments of clarity, you’ll find confidence replacing hesitation.

And when that happens, you’ll understand why the greats never settled for small positions in big opportunities.

RIP, Diogo Mara-Jota.

Sad ending and we wish your family strength to bear this loss.

Look at this boy, coming out to confess without been mentioned.

And the guy is so scared to knack that his reply I didn't read 28 likes in 3 minutes or at least 10, as he usually does.

Wait o, na this brain Nigerians dey take scam oyibo so? They don't even know how to conceal. Oyibo mumu sha.

If it was Tesla he drove, the media would've forgotten about his death and focus only on how Telsa is bad and how everyone should avoid it.

Lamborghini didn't appear in the title of the post, but if it was a Tesla, the title would be Another Tesla Claims the Life of a Legend Beyond Recognition.

Every Western media will use that title just to scare you from Tesla. Who's promoting that? Oil oligarchs/moguls. They feel Tesla is destroying their business.

These are the people that sponsor war so they can sell fuel to the government for their drones, jets, and heavy duty machineries.
