The "trenches" cooked crypto.
This cycle is by far the most extractive crypto has ever been.
Mass altcoin dilution led to millions of dead crypto tokens and retail being continuously dumped on as exit liquidity.
If you're going to play the altcoin game going forward, you NEED to:
Stay engaged - have a daily research routine & do whatever it takes to stay engaged in the space as narratives are moving faster than ever.
Act quickly - execute on asymmetries faster than the next guy.
Most importantly, learn when to size up with proper risk management.
In this environment, the above traits/skills ar

This could be the first 5-year crypto cycle ever.
Business cycle theory is pointing to a 2026 top.

If you’re not using both daily, you’re leaving leverage on the table.

99% of "how to make it" advice on X is complete bullsh*t.
You're just consuming generic engagement bait content.
I'm around successful entrepreneurs 24/7/365, and they're ALL focusing on these things in 2026 and beyond:
• Being high agency (a.k.a. being proactive and taking control of their life)
• Most of them make being a "hard worker" their core identity
• Relentlessly curious to continuously learn
• Ruthless about eliminating distractions (social media, chasing women, etc.)
• Prioritising health to boost performance (sleep, fitness, health)
• Every day, they attack real, needle-moving work

Ironically I think crypto traders are better suited to equities trading than stock traders themselves.
Why?
• A 20% drawdown is nothing if you're used to altcoins
• In an environment like this, risk taking pays off
• Rotations in crypto happen much faster, feels like playing on easy mode in a way
• Valuations are easier to quantify
• Rotations (leader > betas) occur in a similar way, but slower

Is ChatGPT making us stupid?
Well, kinda.
The latest scientific data is going to shock you.
You'll want to rethink how you use ChatGPT after reading this.
A recent MIT study conducted a complete brain scan analysis on 54 individuals aged 18-39.
Participants were randomly assigned to three groups of 18 each:
Group one: LLM (using ChatGPT)
Group two: Search Engine (using tools like Google)
Group three: brain-only (no external aids)
Participants completed essay-writing tasks across 3-4 sessions over 4 months.
Each session involved 20 minutes of writing under EEG (electroencephalogram) monitoring.

Pro tip to get the most out of AI in 2026 (if you don't do this, your outputs will be trash):
Spend 1 hour creating an ultimate context document.
Whenever you create a new chat, upload the document.
That way, the LLM will be able to tailor its answers precisely to your situation.

Best vibe coding flow to get started:
Voice prompting GPT 5.2 (thinking) > Claude Opus 4.5 for the build/refinement.
A good output is always a result of strong inputs. Before you start coding, clearly define your ideal output, goals, and functionality.
If you don't have an idea - or you're unsure, get it to ask you questions (that's why I like the GPT step first because its voice prompting is goated).
