I’m not a trader by any means. I dabble here and there with spot though.
My strength is in conviction plays. I remember Coinbase was a new company and the only thing they offered was BTC (500 usd) at the time, ETH for 1 usd, and lite coin.
I bought .25 BTC then and forgot about it.
During a long drive home; Joe Rogan had Andre Antonopolis* a year or so later and I remembered I had a fraction.
That fraction was worth 2500 usd!!
And 1 ETH was around 200.
In order to have conviction you gotta have the fortitude to see it through.
Having conviction means you have to carry the burden. Alone if necessary. With a community, blessed.
Having conviction means you accept the highs/lows. Ppl coming and going. The whining and the praise.
Conviction sacrifices short term wins for long term vision. Also, understand, huge liquidation events are a blessing. If you don’t see it this way, than you’re refusing to learn. Refusing to learn means you’ve stopped growing. You’ve stopped growing because you’ve chosen fear.
Conviction requires fear and your ability to conquer it.
Just as I was scared going…
All in on ETH at 80 usd with my life savings - I knew the foundation was there, the technology and the infinite possibility of creative disruption in a world where having a choice is becoming scarce.
So when I tell you that my next conviction play is staring at you square in the face
And nothing is going to shake my resolve.
This is my recipe for conviction:
Aspiring
Networked
Innovative
Mission-driven
Empowered
