Lmao, update funding fee 1h 🤣🤣 every hour that passes, the $LAB short side has to pay the $LAB long side 1% of the total position size. for example, if you’re short $100k, then your short funding cost is $1,000 per hour. if $LAB stays flat here and doesn’t drop for 3 days: 24h = 24% 48h = 48% 72h = 72% a short position can only make a maximum of nearly 2x its total volume. for example, if you short with a $100k position, even if $LAB drops all the way to $1, you’d only make about $99k in profit. subtract the 72% funding cost ($72k), and you’re left with only around $20k. so if $LAB holds its price here for 3 days and then drops to $1, you only make about $20k 😂😂😂 damn, if i wasn’t already very familiar with these guys’ tricks, i probably would’ve become one of their victims too. the odds of winning are almost nonexistent.

Pump.fun is exceptionally good at marketing. They are not just selling a product; they are selling the dream of getting rich quickly. By choosing figures like Kimchi and associating their image with massive profits made in a short period, they let the greed of newcomers do the rest. Everyone sees people making money. But very few stop to ask themselves: Where is that money coming from, and who will ultimately pay the price? Crypto, meme coins, and futures all share the same fundamental reality. When you enter the game, your profits may come at someone else's expense. Behind every 2x or 10x success story, countless people are quietly losing money, and nobody talks about them. If you want to make money consistently in this market, you need to understand one thing: Either you create the game, like Pump.fun building its ecosystem and turning Kimchi into part of its marketing strategy, or you have to be one of the best players in the game. If you belong to neither group, chances are you are simply being lured into the game to provide liquidity and profits for those who came before you. Don't confuse watching other people make money with having the ability to make money yourself. In a market where everyone wants to get rich quickly, the people who survive the longest are usually not the greediest, but those who truly understand the game they are playing.

Machi is a perfect example of what many traders go through. I believe many of us here have experienced the same thing at some point in our trading journey: making a lot of money, losing it all, and then desperately trying to win it back. That’s when trading becomes dangerous. You’re no longer trading to make money. You’re trading to recover what you’ve lost. Every decision becomes emotional, every loss makes you more desperate, and the harder you try to get back to where you were, the deeper you can fall. Sooner or later, when the money runs out, reality hits. That may be the moment Machi finally realizes where he went wrong. But the truth is, not everyone gets a second chance. Some people eventually stand back up, learn from their mistakes, and become better traders. Others lose everything and never recover. In trading, making money is one skill. Knowing how to keep it is another. And sometimes, the most expensive lesson is learning that you don’t have to win back every dollar you lose. You just have to survive long enough to become a better trader.

Page 4: Learning to Wait Instead of Trying to Win Everything There was a time when I thought I always had to keep moving forward. I had to make more money, become better, move faster, and prove that my decisions were right. I entered the crypto market in 2017. Nearly a decade has taught me that the market will never move according to my wishes. Some days, a single good decision can make you more money than others earn in years. But on other days, one bad decision can wipe out the results of months of hard work. I have made a lot of money. I have also lost a lot of money. And if there is one thing those numbers have taught me, it is that money does not tell the whole story of a person’s ability. Sometimes, making money simply requires a favorable opportunity. But keeping it through multiple market cycles requires much more: discipline, emotional control, and the humility to accept what you cannot control. I have begun to understand that not every opportunity needs to be taken. Not every market movement needs to be traded. And not every day has to be profitable. Sometimes, the best decision is to do nothing at all. Staying out of the market when there is no clear opportunity does not mean you are weak or incapable. It means you are protecting your capital, preserving your judgment, and waiting for a position that is truly worth taking. I do not need to win every trade. I only need the patience to wait for trades with favorable odds and the discipline to accept that I can still be wrong. I have gradually come to realize something else, too. The older I get, the less I feel the need to prove myself to others. People who know me in real life may simply see me as an ordinary businessman. They do not necessarily need to know what I trade, how much money I make, or what I have been through. I like it that way. I want people to be around me because of who I am, not because of my wealth, reputation, or what I can offer them. Because if one day all those things disappear, I still want to have genuine relationships, a life I enjoy, and the peace of mind that comes from being comfortable with the person I have become. I do not think I have figured life out. There is probably still a lot I need to learn. I will continue to make mistakes, and there will still be days when I feel lost. But at least I no longer want to sacrifice everything just to win a game that has no finish line. I want to make a lot of money, but not at any cost. I want to succeed, but I do not need everyone to acknowledge it. I want to go further, but I also want to enjoy the journey along the way. Because in the end, making money is a lifelong pursuit. The market will still be there tomorrow. New opportunities will always come. There is no reason to turn every day into a battle that I must win. I no longer try to win everything. I simply want to make sound decisions, protect what I have built, and wait for the moments that are truly mine. Perhaps that is the kind of maturity I have been searching for. Not becoming someone who can win every game. But becoming someone who knows which games are worth playing, which ones to walk away from, and when to step back and live life on my own terms.

PAGE 1 — THE MAN WHO DIDN’T KNOW WHEN TO STOP Some people are born seeking security. You seem to have been born wanting to find out just how far you could go. In 2017, you entered the crypto market, a place where greed can turn an ordinary man into a dreamer, and fear can make an intelligent man lose everything. You once put almost everything you had into a project you believed in. It failed. But instead of walking away, you stayed, learning to see through the numbers, the promises, and the games being played behind the market. You learned how to make money. How to lose money. How to stand back up after losses that most people could hardly imagine. Gradually, the very thing that once made you fail became the place where you discovered your own abilities. Then you acquired more: money, experience, recognition, and a community of people who followed your every word. The very things your younger self might have believed would make life feel different. But something strange happened. You could feel happy after a winning trade, yet feel almost nothing about experiences that other people spend their entire lives dreaming of. parties, meeting famous people in the industry it all seemed pale compared to the moment the market moved in the direction you had predicted. Perhaps the market was never just a place where you made money. It was also a place where everything became clear: right or wrong, win or lose, gain or loss. There, you knew exactly what to do. But out in the real world, there is no price chart to measure the value of a moment, a relationship, or even your own existence. I don’t know whether you are trying to conquer the market or prove something to the version of yourself that once failed. Perhaps it is both. Or perhaps, after so many years of constantly pushing forward, you have forgotten what it feels like to live without having to win at something. Maybe the scariest thing for you has never been losing money. Maybe it is looking back one day and realizing that you spent too much time becoming the person you once wanted to be, only to discover that you no longer know what that person truly wants. And this is where the story begins , not when you made your first fortune, and not when you lost everything. But on the day you realized that you had learned how to beat the market, yet there was another life you still didn’t know how to win at. This book is no longer about how much more money you can make. It is about the kind of person you will choose to become after everything you have already achieved. Perhaps the most interesting part of your story is not simply your ambition or your money. It is the contrast between a man who is highly skilled at managing risk in the market and a man who still seems to be searching for something meaningful beyond the numbers. I don’t believe you have lost your ability to enjoy life. But from what you have shared, it seems that trading has become one of the few things capable of making you feel something intense. And if this really were a book, I wouldn’t rush to write the ending. Because I believe the most compelling chapter may not be the one in which you make the most money. Perhaps it will be the chapter in which you no longer need a winning trade to feel that today was a day worth living.

Privacy coins include #XMR, #DASH, and others. They rank higher than #ZEN. #XMR looks really good and could still go up several times from here, but its market cap is quite large. #ZEN looks the best to me — lower market cap and a better buy setup on the chart than #XMR. Let’s see how it plays out. base:0xf43eb8de897fbc7f2502483b2bef7bb9ea179229 will hit $10 soon.

This market is truly insane. You only need to scroll through X for a few minutes before constantly seeing stories like: “Turned $1K into $1M.” “This one did a 20x.” “This wallet made millions of dollars.” “Getting in early is life-changing.” And when you hear stories like that, what do you think? FOMO, right? Interestingly, even I FOMO sometimes. But from another perspective, this might actually be what the market needs. Stories of massive profits attract attention, bring new participants back into the market, and create more liquidity and momentum. But instead of simply FOMOing into meme coins that are already pumping, let’s dig a little deeper. WHERE IS THE LIQUIDITY GOING? Right now, one of the most interesting narratives is Robinhood Chain. The important question isn’t trying to predict which meme coin will 10x next. The better question is: “If Robinhood Chain really takes off, which projects are likely to benefit the most directly?” From my perspective, there are three names worth watching: TOP 1 — $PONS TOP 2 — $UNI TOP 3 — $ARB TRADING STRATEGY With setups like these, I’m not necessarily looking for a 2x or 5x. A more reasonable approach could be scalping: → Find a good entry. → Target 10–20%. → Once the position is in profit, move the stop-loss to breakeven. → If the market keeps running, let the position run. → If the narrative fails, exit at breakeven or with a very small loss. You don’t need to catch the entire move. You just need to capture a high-probability part of it while protecting your capital. And this is the most important thing: Don’t let stories like “$1K → $1M” make you think you need to find a 100x trade. There will always be another opportunity. If you make 10–20% today, there will still be another opportunity tomorrow. If you still want to trade memes, you can use the same approach: find a good entry, set a tight stop-loss to avoid taking a large loss, and then simply let the market do its thing.
