One of the best ways to accumulate real wealth is balancing your portfolio with high time frame trends.
For example:
1. Owning gold / silver compared to Bitcoin in 2025.
2. Owning Solana instead of Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2023 into 2024.
3. Black swan events usually create fear and sell pressure, but these are arguably the generational buying opportunities that happen rarely.
4. Trading memecoins in 2024 > any other market.
5. Holding BTC > 99% of altcoins since 2021.

What’s your favourite Christmas tradition?

Happy Christmas to those who celebrate! I wish you all an enjoyable break with your friends and family!
It's been so nice for me to spend some time away from CT, charts and crypto. I'm addicted, I love this industry, but sometimes I forget to live a balanced life.

If I had to restart with $10k in 2026, this is exactly how I’d play it.
If I was starting again with $10k in 2026, the first thing I’d focus on isn’t returns, it’s protection and experience.
I’d spend money on education, knowledge and getting into the right communities. Paying to shorten the learning curve is always worth it. Time spent improving edge, execution and trading psychology beats any random “alpha” call (looking for a community - join us in GTG).

He was mind-blown… then asked where the real edge actually is because that's just gambling with liquid markets?

X Payouts vs Youtube Payouts
I had ~1.4M views on my youtube channel and that paid me out ~$6750 since January 2024.
I had ~125M impressions and ~7M engagements on X and that paid me out ~$9500 since mid 2023.

Is home alone the greatest Christmas movie of all time?

Everyone’s desperate for a reason to be bearish.
What if the reason is simple:
- Bitcoin went $15k → $125k
- Solana went $9 → $285
- Memecoins peaked at $127B
- Copy traders printed millions
- Platforms clipped 1% on every trade = billions
- Trump & Melania tokens drained liquidity
Maybe nothing is “wrong”, maybe this is just price reverting to fair value after a 2.5 year bull market.

Interesting conversation with my wife tonight: funny how “cash only” nail salons can afford shopping-centre rent, staff all day and still barely crack GST thresholds on paper.
But yeah, I’m sure it’s just about avoiding card fees 👍

2026 = lower high
