    How to Make it This Cycle w/ CryptoMessi

    Today you'll be listening to two washed DeFi midcurvers discuss our takes on where we are in the cycle. These two gooners will discuss the importance of selling and why it's important to normalize your crypto gains because crypto really does warp the value of your money.We discuss why crypto is a butthole, and why selling should be something you enjoy. Who cares what other people think of you, just elevate your lifestyle and change your life.Guest's Twitter: https://x.com/AgentChudJoin the Humble Farmer Army: https://whop.com/humble-farmer-armyFree Newsletter: https://hfaresearch.substack.com/New Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@FarmerTaikiTaiki's Twitter: https://twitter.com/TaikiMaeda2HFA Research Twitter: https://twitter.com/HFAresearchPODCASTS:Crypto Market Wizards: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6bwqqJO_txgGQySGK5-HSuTPp0LjeGqASteady Lads: https://www.youtube.com/@0xSteadyLadsTimestamps:0:00 Where are we in the Cycle?8:58 Odds of a Market Top?14:10 Dealing with Underperformance25:05 How Cycles Have Changed30:10 How to Take Profits (Crypto is a Butthole)41:05 Thoughts on DeFi & Farming50:42 How to Make it This Cycle1:05:21 Crypto Warps Your Sense of Money1:08:57 Managing your Dopamine Addiction1:17:02 Elevating Lifestyle1:24:47 Selling = Post Nut Clarity1:30:00 Coming Back after Hitting Rock BottomMY VALUES:QUALITY OVER QUANTITYA lot of content creators are incentivized to pump out content for ad revenue.

    Making $10M in DeFi w/ 0xLaw

    Today I'm joined by Law to discuss his journey starting from $5k in crypto during the 2022 crypto bear market. He ran up his bankroll doing RFV (risk free value) trades, buying tokens at a discount to the treasury and taking an activist approach to redeem it for profit. Despite his success, Law claims that he rarely takes month-over-month drawdowns and argues why his approach is superior to those who gamble on perps/memecoins.Law provides an interesting take on how there are many ways to profit in crypto, and what it takes to find edge in crypto.
