Looking back at my 2025 trading performance, I'm honestly pretty satisfied. The bigger question though—is this market cycle really over? Hard to say for sure.

Honestly, most people warned me I'd get rekt on my first cycle. And yeah, there've been plenty of trades that went south. But the thing is, focusing only on individual losses misses the whole picture. When you zoom out and look at the overall performance, the wins outweighed the losses pretty significantly.

Was it a perfect year? Absolutely not. But for someone just stepping into their first major market cycle, I can't complain. The key was staying disciplined and not panic-selling every time red candles showed up. Learning what actually matters in this space took time, but it's paying off.

NGL, the first cycle wasn't fully cleared, and we still won. This guy's discipline is indeed pretty good.

NGL, not resetting after the first cycle means you’ve already won—that’s the real point.

tbh discipline is just governance attack surface waiting to happen... most traders confuse hodling with actual protocol economics lol. the real winners? they're already positioning for the next fork before cycle narratives even settle. zooming out is cute but have u considered the margin of disruption nobody's priced in yet?
