RT @thedefiedge: When someone asks, “What’s next in DeFi?” My go-to answer right now is more institutional adoption. The metrics are sh…

There are 2 two kinds of "taking profits." Most people end up roundtripping because they don't understand the difference. 1) The first kind is short-term. You’re up 5x on some random token, and it’s time to de-risk. So, you take profits into stablecoins. You still believe there’s more upside in the market, and you plan to redeploy. 2) The second kind is long-term. This is when you’re taking chips off the table for good. You’re not planning to cycle that money back in. Sure, you can move it into stables, but that’s too accessible. A better move might be putting it into cold storage Bitcoin or even off-ramping into fiat. The point is you didn’t lose the plot. You used crypto to actually improve your life. No matter what happens this cycle, you’ve locked in real gains. So where do most people fuck up? They keep recycling all their short-term profits back into the market. There's the mentality that "I have to make it this cycle." They become overly aggressive and end up with nothing. Here's one solution... Let’s say you’re up 4x on a token. Take some profits off the top to re-deploy if you want. But also pull out your initial investment and drop it into Bitcoin. Or offramp it into fiat. I'm gonna keep it real with you...I don't like taking profits. It makes me feel like I'm selling out. I wonder "What if it goes up 10x more after this?" I tell myself a few things: • Defense wins championships. Taking profits is a part of defense • People don't want you to take profits. People make money when you're a bagholder, not when you sell. So you'll naturally see a lot of sell shaming. Just realize a lot of people around here are broker than you think. Too many people are obsessed with their portfolio top. What matters is how much money you're walking away with.

Create a system that lets you take profits on the way up. Everyone tries to time the top. But when it’s actually the top, you’ll be overdosed on euphoria and think “just two more months.” Take the profits out and don’t deploy it again.

ETH ETF inflows are heating up. We're all still underestimating ETH's potential. Feels like breaking ETH ATH's is just going to be the 1st inning.

I really love the anon culture on CT. There are 2 issues: 1. Bad actors can come back easily. Ex. Gabagool coming back under a different anon identity. 2. Some larger accounts have sold. You're not longer following the original guy. Can't prove it, but can feel the tone change

InfoFi CT Lead Your boy was begging you to build your personal brand 3 years ago. The good news is it's never too late. There's always room for quality and unique perspectives. Work on differentiating yourself from what A.I. can do.

I haven't seen a single GameFi game that genuinely looks fun compared to something I could play on my PS5

Most people don’t realize this... Tradfi trading markets are dominated by algorithmic trading bots. Soon DeFi trading markets will be dominated by AI agents too. That’s the promise of Agentic DeFi. A future where smart bots manage capital on your behalf across blockchains. But there’s one huge problem: Every time your agent submits a transaction. It goes to the public mempool… where MEV bots can see it, front-run it or sandwich attack it. So instead of getting the best price, your bot gets picked off and someone else walks away with your edge. @FAIR_blockchain is fixing this by eliminating MEV, allowing for AI agents to thrive onchain. Instead of trying to hide transactions through centralized sequencers or private mempools, they’ve built MEV resistance directly into the chain itself, using a method called threshold encryption. This means nobody not even validators can see, reorder or front-run your trades before they’re confirmed… That’s how Agentic DeFi actually becomes viable - keeping agent’s action private. And if you’re a $SKL holder keep an eye out: FAIR’s upcoming airdrop might have something in store for you. We’ve partnered with the SKALE team to highlight what they’re building with FAIR. It’s already live in devnet with encrypted execution working under real-world consensus conditions.

Are any of your IRL friends talking about BTC breaking all time highs? It's crickets on my end. Retail's nowhere near here. We're early.
