- It is a nothing burger, this is akin to a "macro event caused dip" and honestly crypto's resilience to this looks good. this does feel like one of those macro events where price goes down but fails to clear a key level (alot of them holding out at support) but turns to be a great buying opp in hindsight.
- Dems clearly used it as a political pawn to show that they were never going to let it pass. Which repriced the market lower
- But IMO, we now have breathing room + we never pumped on CLARITY in the first place;
- Good founders and projects will still move forward regardless; as they have for the past 4 years; in any case, especially because they know that they're not gonna get regs anytime soon your options are
A) just stop building in crypto entirely
B) move fast break things like how you've done in the past few years
- think RH chain is very symbolic of that, the Vlad vs AMC CEO debate. AMC CEO is like "nooo this is illegal" and vlad is like "who cares" and i think honestly that's just the best framing
- As such, I'm a buyer at these levels. Also looking at DEX Volumes vs price, you can see RH chain is actually doing incredibly well still - a good sign
[Binance Square Debate] Should stocks move on-chain?
Wall Street built the deepest markets in history. bStocks are rebuilding them on-chain. So which side wins?
🔵 PRO, Kyle @zeroxkyle Markets should never close. 24/7 trading, instant settlement, global access. Stocks moving on-chain is a question of when, not if.
🔴 CON, Jin @bloomingbit The rails are not ready. Regulation is unresolved, liquidity is thin, and brokers still add real value. Until that changes, bStocks stay a niche.

- RKLB Earnings dumped last night. Like labubu says below, never bet onto ER seems like a lesson that I too have to learn because I didn't take enough profit 😂 still have 1/2 my position
- Gold is absolutely running away - blasted some here.
- Again, this PA confirms what I said last night:
" We continue to be in the phase of "slowing of musical chairs" and you can feel it in the markets - rotations are much quicker, profit being taken. It's a tough environment right now. In times like this I like to have more cash, and just be patient. Remember, cash is a position. That, and zooming out and holding to your core longs."
Frankly, I think the right move is to consolidate into few positions and just long them. RKLB was a trade that made money. Now I'm going to focus on Gold.
Most importantly though is also knowing what NOT to touch. I feel like semis just don't offer any interesting risk/reward here - memory pumped, then dumped. photonics pumped, then dumped. There are no trending assets here - they're good for trades, but goddamn the PA is absolutely brutal and I have no interest in holding anything
10 Lessons I've learnt from 18 months of trading equities
1. Valuations are a function of two things - EPS or Fwd P/E; you can boil any idea into one of these two - make sure which one you're betting on, and have clear invalidations for it
2. Execution makes 80% of the trade work. An idea is nothing without good execution. And the best way to execute is always using limit scale orders through certain levels. Also, NEVER cancel your limit orders, especially your stink bids
3. Selling to sidestep a dip for whatever reasons just introduces more ways to be wrong. 1 - whether the decline occurs, 2 - when to get back in, 3 - what to do with the cash when you're waiting
4. Losing money is the worst thing not because you lose money, but because you miss the next opportunity.
5. If it goes down on non-stock related reasons (i.e macro), it's usually a great buy - macro is unknowable and impossible to predict for most people, and should be treated as noise
6. Value traps are real. Time invalidations are important - if something isn't going up after a certain amount of time, you have to re-evaluate. The market is always right.
7. You should check your accounts at the frequency you trade. If you have a month long timeframe for your investment, don't check it every day.
8. Selling to remove the red P&L, and then evaluating whether to get back in, is a great way to "psychologically reset"
9. Act fast to defend your money, slow to grow your money. Most people do the opposite - slow to protect, fast to make money
10. As Jesse Livermore says, "The point is not so much to buy as cheap as possible or go short at top price, but to buy or sell at the right time.
When some of my stock trading operations are given, you will notice I made my first trade… when the force of movement was so strong that it simply had to carry through.”
