How to retire early and keep your gains Probably an obvious post, but easy to lose yourself in a state of market frenzy. - - - - - 1. Dumb Investor a) Breakdown • Portfolio/net worth remains the same maybe due to bad decisions or getting caught by the market • Income stays flat, no compounding, no real edge b) Actionable steps • If trading is not for you , there are many other side quests to pursue (content creation, work full time at a project/company, build something with your close friends, airdrop farm) --> create more sources of income + focus on finding your edge (if trading perps is not for you, go on chain and vice versa) • Create a system in place: budget + journal + excel PnL and portfolio tracker + risk management systems • Learn to stop over trading, sit out when there is a lack of narrative and only be active when there is a new and fresh meta • Train your muscle memory to spot fresh narratives and non-consensus plays - - - - - 2. Smart Investor a) Breakdown • Spending decreases, disciplined and stay within the budget • Speculating/Apeing still present but possibly done more selectively and contributes to upside --> you did well, probably graduated from the trenches but still need to actively invest/ape if you are still at 6-7 fig port (here comes the fabled high 6s to 7 fig hell where "you are too rich to work, but also too poor to retire") b) Actionable steps • You now know how to survive (most impt) not to die in crypto. Now it’s time to learn how to win • Accumulate wealth by being smarter about bets (size into conviction plays) and maintaining control of expenses (you now have money, easy to squander it all away if not careful) • Zig while others zag (e.g early to robotics and biotech, or apeing PIPEs/equity stocks when everyone else was still in altcoins) • Size into things that will create meaningful returns to your portfolio, eliminate things that are time wasters • Systematise your learnings, stack XP points • Constantly off ramp, just to create a safe nest egg and diversify + spend on life upgrades • Scoop non-consensus bets at low valuations but they have strong team and market misplacing • Size into bigger cap coins that have narrative + future catalyst ("reasons that people want to own in the future") - - - - - 3. Wise Investor a) Breakdown • Everyone's goal, when income/portfolio becomes dominant through compounding and smart positioning --> you've probably reached high 7 figs to 8/9 figs here • Your spending is basically life upgrades, safety and enjoyment • Speculating is minimized or timed well, probably best just to put into safe stuff/btc --> constantly cash out to buy real estate, maybe a proper (kek) business • If done properly, probably exits the cycle early or becomes a giga whale • Humans basically want to optimise for 2 things: money and time, you've solved for the first one now buy back your time b) Actionable steps • Optimise for fulfilment and leaving a legacy (build or start something, work on your passions) • Prioritise for anonymity, stealth wealth, buy back time, safety --> the more you scale your port, the more you are a target • Wealth preservation is paramount Having said all the above, one quote still rings true for me: "most of us came from nothing, so how can we lose when we started of with nothing"
