a short story

The first $10k is hard. $100k is harder. $1M feels impossible. For me, it took failed attempts and hard lessons and multiple brutal crypto cycles to hit 7 figures. Realized, not just paper gains. And here's the truth: Most people who "made it" without roundtripping in crypto actually had capital to start with, which allowed them to sustain hard lessons and losses from volatility. But many didn't start with money in the traditional sense -- like me. I didn't start with a trust fund, inheritance, or rich parents. Still, I had money to invest before I ever made big returns. My first $10k? Not from crypto. I earned it by working, saving, and living at home after college while my friends partied and rented apartments. My first $100k? Not from crypto either. I built it by starting a business and put a bit of disposable income in stocks, while friends stayed in "safe" jobs, hoping they wouldn't get laid off. Only then did I have the capital to ride crypto to $1M. Most try to skip that step -- they chase that next 100X coin they see glamorized by social media and peers, blow up, and start over and over until they burn out. The game isn't just about being rigged. Often times people are just undercapitalized. The fastest way to $1M? My nearly 12 years of experience in this space can confidently now say that I got "lucky" by being accidentally slow to have something worth risking. Then accelerate.

Ok, the more I looked into $QUBIC the more bullish I got, that I had to buy more. My first tweet about them exploded in engagement with culty people, which gives me early $TAO vibes. Consider the narrative that $QUBIC literally "defeated" Monero when the US government couldn't.

Dear bears:

The best performing lending DAO token in the past 90d: @Dolomite_io +397.31%

This blockchain uses AI training as its PoW model. Combine this AI narrative with the fact that it just successfully tookover 51% of $6B Monero as a $300M coin is testament to its big brained capabilities. I bought a bag of $QUBIC.

Absolutely wild stuff happening right now. Q*bic actually backing up their talk and doing multiple large reorgs in a short period of time, with the largest being 7 in size.

That $BTC dip in early Aug was defended with a clean support from the daily GMMA trend band. A lower low then an invalidation of that lower low suggests bears made their max effort and failed, and now bulls are about to make the breakout move. Very bullish, don't fade strength.

The best part about the transition period from bear to bull is when sellers try to suppress resistance, likely to save existing bags in short positions, but fail miserably and as a result they are taken completely out of the game. This tends to lead to unchallenged god candles.

The thing about investing in projects with actual fundamentals and value accrual flywheels is they don't go to 0 while that next memecoin "gem" you think will 100X has 99% odds of rugging. So before the mega run truly kicks off, accumulate while most are distracted by memecoins
