1) You are responsible for every investing decision you make. If you blindly follow what other people say, with no opinion or critical thinking of your own, you're playing a fool's game. Not only will you not hone your practice, but you’ll likely lose money in the coming yrs 🧵

I remember when $BTC was bottoming ~$3K in December 2018 someone gave me all the reasons why it was certainly going to $1700. It bottomed @ ~$3K The lower an asset goes, the more bears there will be, and the lower price targets will sink. That is what makes bottoms uncomfy.

Existential doubt about crypto’s future in 2023 is the prerequisite for the types of multiples that people will gawk at in a few yrs — the specifics of doubt change each bear, but the doubt always emerges. Something that’s a consensus long by society doesn’t print 10-100x’s.
