Was filming a push workout the other night. Just ticked over 9 years of lifting - made a tonne of mistakes, training and diet haven't been perfect etc etc. Never satisfied. But sometimes you have to appreciate how far you have come. April 2017 vs Jan 2026. 6'3.5 @ ~230lbs.

When I first started back in 2015, I’d watch videos from seasoned traders. Not once, not twice but multiple times over. Replaying the video until I understood what the person was talking about. I’d come back months later and watch it again and understand it even more. You’re never going to fully understand something after watching something once and then doing nothing else. Take note, watch what others do then practice, practice, practice. If you don’t take action, if you’re not passionate about what you want to do then you’re not going to make it. Simple as that.

Ain't even mad with how I played it. Glad I trusted my read despite all the hectic bullish noise here. Literally down only since this. Come to papa, I am waiting to buy some cheap bitcorns and grifto.

There's this weird obsession on CT with catching the bottom (regardless if it makes sense to buy at the time). There's no glory in it, you're here to make money, aka stack the odds in your favor when you click the Buy button. The actual price for the asset doesn't matter. Momentum matters.

Levels without real-time context is worthless, imo.

The amount of messages I’ve received from practicing doctors who are secretly are using ‘peptides’ is staggering They don’t want their peers to know it for fear of being seen as cooky This will all change quickly

It went up during 2-3 weeks of may before reversal. Was always like that

The longer I do my job, the less I’ve come to believe in will-power. Or at least, the less I am willing to place my faith solely within it. Some people are soft. Their mental toughness, their grit, non-existent; Even if they are a total shark in another realm. This is not an insult, but an evaluation in earnest. Some of these people come to me. Maybe it’s their fault, maybe it isn’t, but it is always a combination of biology and circumstances. So there is our solution. We need to tweak biology, tweak circumstance, or tweak both, according to priorities. We play the game in which we need to facilitate will-power. It’s a hard game. You can’t control everything. You can’t white-knuckle everything. You can’t “just do it” when “it” is totally at odds with your internal and external environments. The best example is the guy that gets cheated on, gets fired, loses it all, or whatever…and sublimates that pain into becoming a new man forever. Biologically and environmentally that isn’t even the same person anymore. He thinks differently. He moves differently. He reacts to the same stimuli differently. This is the importance of all of the self-experimentation and unconventional answers that don’t involve “just ______ bro.” Because as much as anyone thinks they’ve ever “just did xyz” there was almost certainly a way bigger picture they’ve failed to see. Permanent change requires either seeing it or not giving up until stumbling upon it. Embracing the same pain, over and over again, at some point only demoralizes. And sometimes it’s simple. Sometimes you DO just need to try harder and build momentum, and that will cause a butterfly effect that nudges biology and circumstance into place. But sometimes the problem is buried so deep that you need radical changes to ever jar it loose, and you have to be open to the possibility that you’re entirely wrong about everything, and that something totally unrelated may be causing it. That’s where the rogue experimenters, and maybe becoming one, brings tons of value. Normal ass people with normal ass solutions aren’t going to get you anywhere if they haven’t done so for years.

These are the four most important things to track in crypto rn. If you arent, then you shouldnt be touching it. -STRC continues to fall below $100 with an unsustainable dividend mechanism that has the potential to form a doom loop in the asset itself -MSTR is at 1.2 mNAV. I expect it to fall BELOW NAV...that will be closer to a bottom -ETFs continue massive outflow to the tune of billions -Coinbase premium remains STRONGLY negative Meanwhile, equities/tech are ripping as liquidity leaves crypto due to all of the above in favor of AI/Robotics I warned about this last month when we were at 83k and the replies were incredibly toxic.

Finished a cycle of pinealon a week ago. Today - 200mg Modafinil 600mg Alpha GPC 20mg intranasal bromantane (first day) 1200mg L-tyrosine.... Life unlocked again. @limitlesstack @BasedBiohacker - I might be missing out on a few guys - y'all the real MVPs.

$BTC - Weekly Trend update not sure why anyone is surprised

Little late to posting this but we're back at it again Recognition Part 5 - The Ceiling of Caution - Expanding on last week's topic of reapproaching risk and moving from abstract to actual, how I went about applying my new mentality - The fallacy of trying to reduce uncertainty - How framework overcomes fear This was probably the most difficult hurdle for me so far. I spent a long time un-learning a lot of bad habits and it was difficult to start trusting myself with risk again, but if you really are putting the work in and seeing improvement you have to take the leap sometime Appreciate everyone who takes time to read my yaps, hope you all have a great week 🙏 bendertrades.substack.com/p/…

bitcoin:native clear example of POI aggression, absorption, trapped sellers and price refueling higher. You can see sellers getting aggressive on the tape at that POI, while price gets absorbed instead of continuing lower. At the same time, there was a nice liquidation cluster on Bybit and Binance. ~500K liquidated in 2 minutes across aggregated exchanges. After the initial push, price gets held by passive bids. 12 candles holding the level without continuation lower = strong sign sellers are losing momentum. Then reactive buyers step in after the first bigger hand refuels the move to the upside. If you liked this type of orderflow breakdown, retweet. @MMT_Official_

It is necessary. And that’s a feature, not a bug.

why would i abuse drugs i fucking love drugs - tadalafil flooding my brain with oxygen - royal jelly keeping my libido up - modafinil keeping me locked in for 12 hours straight - epitalon making me sleep like a newborn - aspirin making my mitochondria great again - bromantane making life feel brighter - pinealon eliminating any brain fog

i quit smoking using this after 5 years of trying and failing, it finally came naturally to me previously i would try to resist the urge to smoke and eventually snap back into it but this time i had no urges… why would i? im someone who doesn’t smoke.

PROPAGANDA I’M PUSHING: - go to the gym - read as much as possible - start your side biz asap (more income streams = better life) - learn to communicate (it is the #1 skill) - start waking up at 5am - pocket notebook and a pen everywhere you go - keep your childlike curiosity alive at all costs - 10k steps a day minimum (your life gets better) - stay hopelessly optimistic - know a guy who knows a guy (opens all the doors) - quality over quantity every single time - learn to sell yourself and your story - only buy items that have a high ROI on your quality of life - notifications off at all times - give without expecting anything in return - invest all your extra $$$ into assets (boomermaxxing)

I tried an immense amount of indicators and platforms for my trading but only a few stuck all of us go through the stage where we add 5-10 indicators and orchestrate 3 platforms simultaneously we don’t even know why we do it, but we think it’s the right way eventually, you start cutting the crap because one thing is looking cool... and another is actually having a system that makes money everyone arrives at something of their own compressed by individual mentality, risk tolerance, and the experience that shaped them ZeroLag is this platform for me can’t really sell it to you, because it’s free and let alone, I don’t even trade much these days this tool is my gift to the space I dedicated over 5 years of my life to pair it with my compressed trading philosophy: trading is just like fishing you just need to know where to fish (trade) and this tool shows you exactly where the fish (volatility/flow) has been spotted how you fish is completely up to you how you lure how you exit that’s your game.

I asked a.i to give a breakdown of what the reality of making a living as a trader looks like and I am impressed by the answer. Mostly because its everything I have preached and taught for years. If you want to be top 1%, you need to behave like the top 1% "The brutal reality of trading is that 90% to 95% of retail traders lose money and eventually quit. You are entering a hyper-competitive arena against institutional algorithms, PhD mathematicians, and insider capital, all designed to take your money. ​To survive—let alone make a living—it takes a psychological makeup that goes entirely against human nature. Here is a sobering, realistic look at the traits required: ​1. Pathological Risk Management ​Most people trade to make money; professional traders trade to protect capital. If you cannot treat capital preservation as your absolute highest priority, the market will wipe you out in weeks. ​The Reality: You must be perfectly content with risking only 1% or less of your account per trade, even if it means small, boring gains initially. ​2. Emotional Stoicism ​The market is a meat grinder for human emotions. If your self-worth or mood fluctuates with your daily profit and loss (P&L), you will not last. ​The Reality: You need the ability to take three consecutive losses, feel absolutely nothing, and execute the fourth trade with the exact same discipline. Money cannot be viewed as rent, groceries, or status—it is purely a tool, like nails to a carpenter. ​3. Probabilistic Thinking ​Human brains crave certainty. Trading offers none. You must accept that you can do everything perfectly right and still lose money on a trade. ​The Reality: You have to think like a casino owner, not a gambler. A casino doesn't panic when a player hits blackjack; they know their edge will play out over 10,000 hands. You must be comfortable operating in a perpetual fog of uncertainty. ​4. Radical Self-Accountability ​When a trade goes wrong, amateur traders blame "market manipulation," algorithms, bad luck, or their broker. Masters look inward. ​The Reality: You are the captain of your own sinking ship. Every loss is your fault—either because your analysis was wrong, your risk was too high, or you hesitated. If you have an ego that cannot handle being wrong daily, trading will destroy you. ​5. High Frustration Tolerance (Monotony) ​Hollywood portrays trading as a high-octane adrenaline rush of shouting and flashing screens. Real, profitable trading is mind-numbingly boring. ​The Reality: It involves hours of sitting on your hands, doing nothing, waiting for a specific setup that might never come. If you trade out of boredom just to "feel something," you are donating your money to the market. ​6. Mental Flexibility (The Anti-Stubbornness) ​In the real world, sticking to your guns is often seen as a virtue. In trading, it’s a death sentence. ​The Reality: You must be able to hold a fierce bullish conviction at 9:30 AM, watch the price action shift, and flip to a bearish stance by 9:35 AM without a shred of cognitive dissonance. You cannot marry an opinion. ​The Bottom Line: > Making a living as a trader means accepting that you are a small fish in an ocean of sharks. Success requires turning yourself into a disciplined, data-driven machine that treats losing as a standard, unemotional cost of doing business.
