‍1. Always remember that you are nothing more than a potential sacrificial victim on the whale’s altair ‍

‍

You’re buying with the aspiration of realizing a profit, but smart money plays on a different level of this game, both technically and psychologically.

They will do everything to mislead you, directing your actions toward their pre-meditated path, in order to slaughter you.

Be skeptical of everything you hear in this game.

‍

‍2. Don’t be upset if you miss out on a move

‍

‍You see people flexing their gains (trust me, most are just fake screenshots) and you feel sadness because you didn’t buy the token.

As per consequence, FOMO starts to dictate your decisions and you’ll end up chasing narratives that are already 90% milked or catching the top of green candles.

Every day new projects pop out, presenting tons of opportunities.

Use others’ winning to motivate yourself for achieving the same results.

‍

3. Learn the stupidity curve

‍

At the end of last year I made an infographic explaining how the stupidity curve develops during a crypto cycle.

The more we will rise, the more bullsh** you’ll start to hear and the more bearish you should become.

Conversely, the more we will plunge, the more your bullishness should arise.

In the meanwhile, never forget to act as a ninja: If you make big money in crypto, don’t tell it to anyone.

Loud richness is a curse because people around you will start getting attracted like bears to honey, constantly begging you for “one more drop” of your wealth and calling you lucky for your hard work while spreading the word about your status, increasing potential security risks.

Keep it for yourself, move in silence.

‍

4. Value your wealth in time

‍

With the growing numbers of your portfolio, you'll start losing the perception of money.

Your brain perceives 1,000$ as 10$, 10,000$ as 100$, 100,000$ as 1,000$, and so on, forcing you to consider that is “never enough”.

Watch at your portfolio in TIME terms, instead of USD ones.

10.000$ could be 1 year’s salary while 100.00$, 10 years.

What you're risking to leave on the table is a huge amount of time..time that doesn’t come back if you f*** it up.

Keep it in mind while your portfolio continues to soar.

5. Assume it’s a bull market and you’re not a genius

‍

Price appreciation has a huge Damocle’s sword on you head: it makes you feel like a genius.

Overconfidence, invincibility, sense of supremacy.

All of these things will be pooled together in your mind, forcing you to take irresponsible decisions and constantly rotating your money until you’ll lose it all.

Stay humble and feel the blessing for participating in the generosity that the market offers, not because you’re the next George Soros.

‍

6. Use HTF closures to gauge your next moves

‍

Retails get annihilated because, together with sheep mentality, don’t know the importance of HTF closures above or below key support/resistance zones.

They continue to believe an asset will go up or down forever because their favorite influencers leverage their emotions.

Utilize the closures for avoiding useless bias and maintain an analytical approach, thus improving your profitability.

‍

‍

7. Unfollow “shillfluencers”

‍

With the soars of prices, new gurus and “experts” will create accounts in order to profit from the attention that the market is capturing.

The blueprint is this one:

- They announce “the next big thing” ~> your emotions get leveraged

- They start buying/getting paid from related projects

- They announce “the next big thing” ~> your emotions get leveragedhey're “gem hunters”

- They already planned their exits while saying “X (unrealistic) target soon”

- They start selling on the way up while continuing to nourish the hype

- You continue to buy with the hope that “obvious” target will surely be met

- You sacrificed yourself and became exit liquidity ~> target not met

- “Bro, always DYOR before buying”

Also, a lot of them are intensifying scamming techniques by making TA on coins they’re getting paid from (looks their interest is more “genuine”)

The more the horns of the bull grow, the more this will intensify.

8. Always maintain an “Uncle Sam” allocation

‍

I know, with Bitcoin skyrocketing the temptation of going all-in on your favorite coin is very high.

But trust me, I made this mistake in my first bullrun and I felt completely armless when the inevitable dip came.

10/20% plunges are in fact very common during bull periods.

Constantly maintain a % cash allocation ready to buy dips/preserve capital and taking advantage of the new projects that are “casually” being released during great times as they usually perform really well.

I'm confident that these 8 tips will help you along the way.

As long as we proceed with the bull run, things will get hotter.

And consequently, the risk of making more mistakes drastically increases.

Here are 8 smart practices to adopt in a bull market that will make sure you’ll follow the right path: ‍
