 Chit man..2 bach and masters ?   That¡¯s awesome , hell I hope mine just finish..

he is OL..  Man it¡¯s a different ball game now .. I was shocked at what kids make in college now .. shocked is saying it lightly. Of course lineman are no where near your position players but NIL has changed the game.  When you go do a tour/visit and players pull up Lambo SUVs and Denali jacked up trucks And Benz cars , you just know the landscape has changed.  I was speechless.  The center for school took him around and he had the Denali.. hell i was thinking , he made my ride look like peanuts   Im 99% they are all leased vehicles but STILL , why wouldn¡¯t ever leave college ???

Yeah I think NIL has wrecked the college game it changes the motivation of the players and that transfer portal crap changes the dynamic in a negative way. I know that the NIL makes it that the top few get money and the lower suffer from the fact that the higher tier are taking the cash AND the college has to raise prices to fund it and that NIL money means the university no longer has those funds for other aspects of the university.

Did your son participate in that NIL or is that not for freshman? 

Thanks for the comment, I think this is the first time Ive ever mentioned such things for obvious reasons.

@wallstreetcappers

 No NIL at current .. don¡¯t even want him worried about it right now. 

Man the markets are crazy today .. I hate it that people are getting wrecked but only people cashing out..  or leverage.. I don¡¯t mess with any of that.. I just invest and forget.  I did look earlier and was like ¡°WTF¡± but I just laugh it off and know there is nothing u can do.  I think BTC will get to the 50¡¯s but there is a slim chance of hope.  We are maintaining right now so it¡¯s about a 80/20 chance.  I will make one of largest purchases ever if it hits the 58k range. So in a way I¡¯m hoping it does but it will scare too many weak minded folk and could cause it to go lower.  If it hits I will buy a coin and do a quick flip when it gets back to 65-66.  Make some quick cash and just stockpile my usdc

hell solana is getting close to where I can make a large purchase too.  I could make more off that but IMO it would take a few days longer and I don¡¯t like having that much tied up in case there are other buying opportunities.  

Your Porto get hurt today ? 

I was light going into this week having sold the IBIT we talked about and it is lower than where I sold it even though it ran two more points after I sold..lol but it is back lower now. So I used some of that cash to ease back in on the main trading stock and I am down on it but Ive been trading this one for almost two years been doing very very well on it just range trading and I am quite confident it will keep range trading and I will do fine with it.

I will tell you that I am super tempted with INTC, dropped to 21 today, if you look at a 20 year history it has been  here once or twice and has been a good trading opp every time it has been here. If the markets keep dropping this month and say INTC goes to sub 20 its gotta be a 50% return even if you have to hold it for 2-3 years, barring a massive US recession/depression. I would rather play safe with a knocked down INTC than risk a high beta NVDA or AMD. My free cash is getting low but if I free more up when/if my large trade settles back up then I will greatly consider putting a big chunk into INTC.

Some of those alt coins are getting knocked around, I still cant believe the market cap on ones like Turbo and Ponke, its like the market cap of operating corporations and it is only meme digital coins!

Sheesh might see 57's today, I am curious as to the sellers because on Coinbase the order book has lots of buyers but they keep selling it quite hard and with volume for a Sunday afternoon.

Licking my chops buddy

Ive pulled profit out of some meme coins so I¡¯ve added more usdc..  Going to make a big splash when I do it.  Obviously my buy will be peanuts compared to others ..haven¡¯t decided exactly how I will pull trigger yet.  But this will be my biggest since my PEPE play.  This will actually be 2x bigger.  But PEPE changed my life to be able to do things like this so I will forever be grateful there. I don¡¯t expect a 8x-10x on my money like that by any means.  I¡¯m looking for quick percentages to grow where I can pad my stable and make even bigger buys when the bulls start riding .. 

im still undecided .. I have been putting tons of thought into it.  Still not completely there yet

Market is crazy right now but it doesn¡¯t faze me..   I¡¯m not selling everything and refuse to.  I hold strong and will it.. I take profits all the time and I always tell people to do so but do NOT sell everything. You will regret it.  If you DCA into projects you can pull money out without hurting positioning ..

all the meme coins I talk about on repeat will be fine in the long run but crap projects will get wrecked.  That¡¯s why I will not discuss them..yes they can make u a ton of money but they will go to zero in times like this.  Ponke and turbo and Pepe and wolf and pei pei and couple others are losing but will ultimately be fine.  Nothing is 100% so always be ¡°aware¡±¡­ only way I would completely gut those is to see the number of holders start crashing.  And I mean true holders not made up holders to boost numbers.  

I may wait a few more days.. I pulled the auto buy off so just going to continue with the smaller daily buys at different dca levels into the big ones as I already discussed.  No other meme purchase until I see a bottom

I will say this .. that PEPE is coming down and that¡¯s what has been second guessing the BTC buy .. hell I may go for seconds on a big PEPE buy . Hard decisions  I may go 33/33/33 too.. who knows 

I read though my last message and it seemed like I¡¯m not losing money daily.. YES I¡¯m losing from a ton of later buys into projects but I have a ton of buys into projects at much lower MCs so I can take profit on those. Didn¡¯t want it to seem like it¡¯s all profit over here by any means .. my lower MC initial buys bring down overall entries so I have a little room.  But YES I wake up each day to some red for damn sure !!!

$Wolf on solana

Up nearly 10% on hour.   Great times to take some profit on earlier buys to pad usdc for future higher buys 

Yeah if you look the bottom was about the time BTC was at 57,100 and since it has bumped 2% into the Asia open just as I expected. I would not be shocked if by the late evening it will be over 60k. 

I missed the 57k.. it hit 57k range and bounced off that support back to 59k.   I¡¯m going to sit on my hands for bit.  57k and 53k are the critical   levels.. I thought 58 would be but that¡¯s what chart showing now for 53 and 57

We have a big few days coming up  .. let¡¯s see how it unfolds  

Yeouch here comes 54k's

And 52k now..

Looks like Japan is wrecking everything and lets see if this forces the FED hand to lower rates. Markets might open up limit down at this rate.

Yeah I¡¯ve had to put some stops in ..  it¡¯s all good.  I may be a go at 53k.  That¡¯s what I was expecting if we broke that 57 resistance . No worries ..    

a good ole fear in the market .. big sell off and big buy back.  

One it hits 53k I¡¯m going to make first buy .. 25%.  We are at 53.8 where I buy.  

then will see from there.  It¡¯s all good.  I have a PEPE price I¡¯m waiting for too. But I do t think we will get there.  May just hold the other 75% for the upswing.  We will see.  

I honestly don¡¯t think we will see the 40s in BTC.  Too many people will swoop in and buy.  Just too much money ..   

Back to 54.6   

Man this is a swing trader day .. I just can¡¯t do it .. may need to 

Volumes for after market are pretty high on Coinbase, usually on the weekend the volume is like 1/3 this. 

I guess uncle Warren was selling some tech last week and then the Japan situation is about the Japanese Fed (BOJ) losing control of the currency and since their markets are super leveraged and very reliant on the BOJ it is causing havoc. 

If one thing could drag the FED back in to cut rates it would be an implosion in Japan. If that even SNIFFS to happen via an open credit line etc, BTC will rocket...totally rocket.

For sure ..

Im still going to stand fast on me only buying at 53k. Man I want to buy so freaking bad right now but I have to fight the urge..  I think these small buys I¡¯m doing is helping my urge but I want to unload.  Honestly this is probably the most buy/selling I¡¯ve done on a Sunday in a while.  I hate that I¡¯m losing all these early positions on my favorite memes by selling but I can¡¯t risk it.  I¡¯m making a decent profit but damn it hurts.  I wanted to hold these till the end.  The only downside to this is my entries will be so much higher now.  I¡¯m refusing to sell for a loss right now.  If it gets worse I may have to on my higher entries but we will see.  I¡¯m ready for both. But for now , I¡¯m holding.  

im seeing some buzz on BTC insider pages saying a emergency meeting could take place wed/thurs.  we will see 

You want to the ugly side to crypto:

ETH coin trading has gas fees of 200-300 bucks. So freaking crazy.  I have some smaller $300-600 entries into projects I wanted to sell and it will cost me half to make the trade. So basically I would lose every bit of profit.  

i had a $1000 entry from a while ago into ¡°xxxx¡± coin and made 1800 ( 800 profit )  , i was not paying attention because I have several screens going now for trading and I pushed through it cost me $382 for a gas fee¡­took half. What freakin joke.  Vitally is getting rich off these gas fees 

so I¡¯m forced on ETH chain to hold these entries.  Hope it doesn¡¯t bite me.  This is the downside to ETH.  This is why I like SOL and BASE. 

That is a joke, all the fees that these exchanges charge to get to the places you can purchase the alt alt alt coins, that is absurd and robbery lol

I was expecting that Japan would be even lower but the Nikkei is only down 5% that isnt so bad. I dont think the FED will jump in on that dip, they might try and say some dove verbage to let the markets know they are ready if needed but it would have to go more than this IMO

I think this is going to be a bad month. Another 2000 pt loss ahead of us

@maxwagers781

 It very well could be.. just be careful what ever you do. 

As i always preach , STAY AWAY from crap coins and overnight ¡°get rich¡± quick.  Those are the ones that are leaving right now.  Unfortunately people fall for it   The big ones I talk about will stay around   YES they are down but they ¡°should¡± recover ..I hate to see people lose money , I  know  I sound like a broken record about ¡°doing your own thing¡± but it¡¯s because of times like this.. these YouTubers pumping these coins are no where to be found.. Yes you may not make those 1000x gains but you can do very very well in the higher cap coins..

Im not saying you need advice in any way but just speaking in general. 

Im going to continue buying ( BTC, ETH, SOL and BNB ) but I  missed my targets because I took my auto buys off overnight because I didn¡¯t know how things would go.. so I missed the swing briefly to 49.  May of been a blessing to not make a big buy .. who knows ??  For now I will just stack up stable with any kind of gains

I was very blessed to make a ton early in PEPE and a few others. I have more invested in other coins besides PEPE but it¡¯s the one that gave me the big return so quickly..So I still have very early investments into coins.  Some of them are getting close to ¡°auto sell ¡° where I can still make a profit. BUT I¡¯m leaving a good amount in everything I¡¯ve talked about UNTIL I see the number of investors ratio with MC drop. 

I still belive in crypto and always will. Just some things are out of our control .. BE SMART and don¡¯t let anyone talk you into anything !!!Do what¡¯s best for you !!!

Crazy how things can change !!

Now back up 20-30% from lows .. Crazy market .. Remember to take profit folks!!! If you bought the dip , get returns then ride the profit !!!

The increase I¡¯m talking about is in the meme coins

$wolf and ponke both went up 20-25%

BTC still fighting resistance levels.  

BE SMART

Good ( not great ) recovery today 

Still not out of the woods yet!!!   The market will be volatile the rest of this month IMO.  Remember to take profits when u can while leaving money to invest ..  that way when things like yesterday happen, you don¡¯t have to sell for a loss..  you only lose when u sell 

I heard lots of panic pivot wishful thinking out there today and it is actually positive the FED did not take the bait yet because it could have blown up in their faces going the panic route. It will be interesting to see that IF this FED panic subsides and Japan bounces and the FED is not forced to cut, then BTC might revisit the 50k range again as it almost felt like the bounce was due to the hope of a rate switch as bond also bounced/rates dropped.

So why is it that this revolutionary crypto market still has highway robbery pawn shop theft for the alt coin market? The "gas" fees to swap around and catch these meme/alt coins is robbery and crypto in its premise is suppose to reduce cost and increase availability. The same flaws that has kept me on the sidelines for alts exists today and probaby worse than in the past let alone the risk of having to hoop jump to trade them and get out of them and into a method you can turn into dirty USD cash for fun stuff...
