Just watched this 2-hour chat between two guys who've been trading crypto for almost a decade. No BS, just real talk about what they screwed up and what actually worked.
A few things that hit:
• The BitMEX days taught them everything wrong 😅 High leverage, rekt accounts, the usual early crypto story
• Buying the bottom sounds cool but it's painful — you sit through drawdowns, doubt yourself, and most people can't handle it
• After 9 years, only a handful of trades really mattered. The rest was just noise
• One guy closes every winner too early. Classic trader problem — fear of giving back gains
• The thing that makes you money is often the same thing that loses it later. Your edge becomes your weakness if you don't adapt
• Anyone selling "the way" is a grifter. There's no holy grail, just what works for you
If you've been in crypto for a while, this will feel familiar. If you're new, it's a good reality check. Trading isn't about being right all the time — it's about surviving long enough to catch the few trades that actually change your account.
