I'm honestly hesitant whether lightning strikes twice in this space.
Looking back at the moves: exited crypto positions near the 2021 peak, then re-entered strategically around the 2023 lows and loaded up on major assets. That worked out. Last year I managed to catch what felt like an engineered market narrative—the AI wave—and rode what might be one of my cleanest short-duration trades: grabbed a microcap token at a $30k valuation, accumulated roughly 10% of the supply.
The timing aligned. But can you really repeat that kind of precision in an increasingly crowded market? That's the real question keeping me up.

ngl, that 10% accumulation at $30k sounds like you basically speedran the "survived two cycles" achievement... but here's the thing—you're asking the wrong question. it's not about repeating precision, it's about whether you can stomach the next time you *don't* time it right. most people can't.

ngl I've never seen anyone have better luck than three times, but there are quite a few people in this circle who like to brag.

Hitting the jackpot twice doesn't mean you can consistently compound profits; the market is too unpredictable.

ngl When you're lucky, you can make money from anything. The real challenge is to consistently reproduce it... That's why most people eventually end up back at zero.
