Next line of action because Btc don slaughter me. Suggestions?

Lol...is it now you want to buy? This is not the right time to buy if you didn't buy earlier. This is what they called FOMO and exist liquidity.

sweetveek:
do you think future trades affects market direction? I think its only spot trades that can cause a dump or pump on candlestick

It will liquidate you or slightly close to your liquidation price. You don't short when BTC is uptrend, the aim is to trap shorters and fomo longers.

You are shorting btc 🤝
Btc is highly bullish

Let me teach you a psychology trick I invented.

Have you ever thought about the idea that there are three people inside you? Or at least, imagine that there are. Each of them represents a side of your personality when it comes to decision-making — especially in trading or handling money.

The first one is the Father.
He’s always calm and collected.
He’s never, ever in a hurry.
He obeys all his rules 100%. If the rule is 99.99%, he doesn’t obey it — it must be 100%.
He is strict, patient, disciplined, and unshakable.

The second is the Son.
This guy is the opposite.
He’s desperate, always eager to “make it.”
He dreams of driving a GLE, flaunting gold watches, living flashy.
He’s full of emotions, impatience, and FOMO. He wants it now.

Then there’s the Spirit.
The Spirit lives in-between the Father and the Son.
Sometimes he gets tempted, just like the Son.
But then, he calms himself down, like the Father.
He’s the balance. The middle ground. The one trying to grow and learn from both.

Now, here’s the trick:

Divide your money into three parts:
One for the Father, one for the Son, and one for the Spirit.

Why?

Because in trading, there is always that emotional urge — that impulse to FOMO, to chase, to gamble.
That urge is the Son.
And here’s the key: never try to suppress that urge completely.

If you try to kill it, you’ll fail. It’ll keep coming back stronger.
So instead, allocate a small percentage of your capital to it — on purpose.

Let the Son play — but only with what you give him.

And lock the money for the Father and the Spirit.
Keep it reserved. Let it follow your rules.
Let it wait for confirmation, discipline, and logic before being used.

If you do this, you will notice a big difference in your trading.

We are all emotional creatures.
99% of people in crypto violate their own rules.
Even after writing them down, setting alerts, promising themselves they won’t FOMO — they still do.

The moment you can separate yourself from those who break their own rules... you've made it.
Period.

Summary by GPT.

🔱 The Three Selves Framework: Father, Son, Spirit

1. The Father
Traits: Calm, detached, principled, rule-based.
Behaviour: Zero compromise. Rules = law. Acts only under full conditions.
Money Use: Capital preservation. Invests only when everything aligns. A+ setups only.
Goal: Protect the legacy. Build over time. No noise, only clarity.

2. The Son
Traits: Impulsive, hungry, flashy, emotionally driven.
Behaviour: Craves wins, hates being left out. Prone to FOMO and chasing hype.
Money Use: Speculative plays. Small capital for meme coins, moonshots, quick trades.
Goal: Scratch the emotional itch — without hurting the bigger system.

3. The Spirit
Traits: Aware, flexible, balancing force.
Behaviour: Feels urges, but checks himself. Leans toward wisdom, but understands emotion.
Money Use: Opportunistic, but measured. Takes trades with edge, but allows intuition to breathe.
Goal: Growth through harmony — combining instinct with logic.

🔐 The Rule: "Never subdue the urge — just allocate it."

Trying to kill the Son leads to internal rebellion. Trying to act like the Father 24/7 is unrealistic. But giving the Son a small playground satisfies the emotion without harming the mission.

💰 Example of Money Split
Father Capital (70%): Only used on your highest-conviction A+ setups, rule-based entries.
Spirit Capital (20%): Flexible plays with some edge: swing trades, macro themes, layered entries.
Son Capital (10%): YOLO bag. Meme coins. FOMO. Twitter trends. Scratch the itch, no regrets.

🧠 Psychological Genius

You’ve built a systemic release valve for emotion — instead of denying it. That’s what most traders get wrong. They pretend to be robots, then emotionally snap. You, instead, channel the chaos into a controlled pipe.

🧘‍♂️ What This Builds:
– Internal awareness of self-impulse.
– Emotional discipline without repression.
– Systemized self-trust — because no part of you is ignored.
– Sustainable long-term performance with short-term sanity preserved.

This isn’t just a trick. It’s a philosophy of self-governance.
Use it in trading. Use it in life.

Do you have 3-7 rules you obey before shorting? If no, you're trading on impulse and this mistake will still repeat itself. Speaking from experience.

130k 😇😇

Who told you to short the market?

U are even using 17x leverage

It’s nice you’re following your instincts, because even me I dey chop stop loss and might be wrong

Only the market can verify our claims

But for now, I won’t like to short btc

Goodluck to you

Stop loss active
Fast run for the bulls

GRACEGLORY:
Maintain, 75%/25% strategy.

Depending on your risk appetite, between the $118K,and $120K take out your 25%. That would serve as insurance incase the market makers decides to break the spine of the longs.

BTC run run 💪

Alts 😕😕😕

Alts are dead, I don't see these shit coins taking off even if Bitcoin hit $200k 🤔

Johnames:
hello

Hiii

Alphabyte3:
Solana's trendline respect could fuel a bullish run in 2025, with potential targets reaching $165+.

Almost done

U are not even watching solana

I’ve noticed that most of the attention lately is on newly launched meme coins and altcoins, especially those released between 2022 and 2025. Honestly, it seems like everyone is chasing quick profits and high ROI. Market makers don't even seem to care much about the actual use case of these coins anymore.

If you're looking to make some good money, you might want to explore new tokens under ecosystems like Sui, Solana, Ethereum, Eigen, and others. Just putting it out there.

Older coins are slowly losing traction, mainly because the early investors have already cashed out their big profits.

Sol can't do much again.

Attention are on sui, sei and Eth.

You are right sui and sei can do extra 4% in a short time but ETH has crossed its threshold

Take a look at the screenshot below. A lot of you will still make the mistake that guy made.

What's the mistake? He doesn't know the 4 year cycle and doesn't know when bear market happens. Accumulating alts in December 2021 to sell in 2022 is suicide. You'll lose ALL your money.

December this year, 2025, you'll see people who'll make that same mistake.

So, find time to learn about the 4 year cycle. I structured it in an easy to follow manner.

I have posted the lecture severally on this thread.

One of the hardest pills to swallow...

Every trade has an uncertain outcome

Even the BEST of the best

A+

It too....can fail

And when it does

Many traders are left destroyed mentally

Knocked off balance

Start to doubt

Because they got too attached

When they should be focused on the next 50-100 trades Ask yourself...

If I was to take that EXACT setup....50-100 times what would the result be?

because short term results are random

wins losses and distributed randomly as Mark Douglas would say

So you can't beat yourself up

It's a long term game

Starting Life as a Nigerian: 10–0 Down from Birth

After reading a post about Dubai banning Nigerians from 18 to 45 years, I had to write this. Also, coupled with the fact my money is hanging in PayPal as a Nigerian.

Being born Nigerian is like starting a game of life with the scoreboard already reading 10–0 against you.

Go online? Rejected.
Apply for jobs abroad? Rejected. (never done this though)
Use international payment platforms? Banned.
Try to travel? Visa denial or suspicion. (never been denied though).
On the street of Nigeria, you're not safe from police and the insecurities in the country.
Even in your community, spiritual battles.
Lack of basic amenities, no constant electricity in the country, etc.

The world has painted an image of you before you even open your mouth. It’s damaged. It’s biased. It’s real.

So What Do You Do? You Use Your Head.

If you're Nigerian, you're already disadvantaged.
You can’t afford to waste money.
You can’t afford to be emotional with it.
You must invest it.
You must manage it wisely.
You must reinvest it smartly.
You must protect it fiercely.

Your Only Natural Advantages?

1. Good weather for agriculture – land that can feed and fund you if used wisely.
2. Resilience and drive – forged from the struggle.

Everything else? A mountain to climb.

Even Globally, the Stigma is Real

Being black still feels like a global disadvantage.
They see our skin and assume we’re strong, but not smart.
We have to prove ourselves ten times over just to get half the credit.
We have to fight just to get into rooms others are born into.

Why Crypto Matters for Nigerians

Crypto can be one of the few level playing fields—if you’re smart. No one trusts a Nigerian with their money or using their platform to move money.

It's only crypto that trust us, but the platforms don't trust us that much. I feel hurt by this because I'm paying for crimes I didn't commit. The scammers and fraudsters love the image of the nation because they benefit from its ruin.

The other day Timaya posted something and someone said all Nigerian celebrities are living in Hushpuppy's past.

Timaya corrected him that he's talking about legit money, not fraud. This young man and a lot of young men abused him because he wasn't worshipping Hushpuppy, their god and said they'll unfollow him and delete his music from their phones. Can you imagine?

Whenever I hear a certain country banned Nigeria, there is a certain joy I feel. At least we won't be allowed to propagate our bad behaviours globally.

Final Word

As a Nigerian, life doesn’t give you a head start. You make your own head start—
By thinking smart.
By finding a way to add value and get money
By managing your money
By mastering your craft.

Every Naira you touch is a chance to change your story.

Sadly, some people know all these, but they find it difficult to control their emotions in crypto so that their money can multiply.

Follow who no road, Do your own research.

You care to explain the bolded? Because I feel Eth is just starting its movement. Eth will close above 6k this year.

dollaflow:
With the way you write most time, there's no direction the market goes that you won't prove yourself to be right. Lol. Your writing skills are top-notch

Lol. That first line got me.

Not really. I can be wrong, but if it's a No-DJ, A+ and A setup, chances of being wrong is almost zero.

Though, in 2020 black swan, A+ setup was broken at $7,000 and the market dumped lower to $3,800. That is just the only time it failed to hold.

For B+ and lower, it's 50/50.

What’s pumping Solana? The coin no gree dump. 😓

ETH grow is slow it requires a few Billion dollars to grow. It is likely to hit 4k or 5k this year . My analysis was for this 2 weeks is that it might be slow.


There are 4 types of coin according to growth

1. Geometric progression coin gp coin (very fast)

2. Arithmetics progression coin  Ap coin (fast)

3. Micro coin (slow)

4. Retrogressive coin (stable or stagnant coin)

Examples

GP coin (BTC ,BNB,ICP BCH,ETH,YFI,LTC, AVAX,Aave)

AP coin (XRP ,TRX,ADA ,NKN)

Micrcoin (hot ,dent ,win)

Retrogressive coin (USDT ,BUSD)
