December 18, 2020, around $3,500. That’s all I had left from the previous bear market. Lost everything in shitcoins (sold around 500k DOGE). I only held ETH and BTC. April 8, 2021, $300. Lost almost everything doing leverage, following stupid KOLs. So, I started aping shitcoins on BSC with a few bucks ($5-10). No bots, no AI, no snipers for plebs... Just open PooCoin, check the explorer, and pray. Good old good times! “OK, boomer, why this post ❓” Because I have many new crypto friends who got burned in 2024/2025, going from three figures to five/six figures and back to one in the last few months. I’m probably too conservative, but look at the picture, it's my portfolio ❗️Manifesting ❗️ Set Clear Intentions: Visualize specific, realistic goals—e.g., recovering to a stable $10k portfolio or building a diversified bag with 50% blue chips, 30% farming, and 20% calculated shitcoin bets. Write it down to solidify your focus. Preserve Capital (Your Key Rule): Mentally commit to never risking more than 5-10% of your portfolio on high-risk plays (like BSC shitcoins). Picture your $3,500 growing steadily by avoiding leverage traps and KOL hype. Diversify Strategically: Farming: Seek low-risk yield farms with audited protocols (check DeFiLlama for TVL and safety). Manifest steady 10-20% APYs rather than chasing 1000% scams. Airdrops: Hunt under-the-radar airdrops (e.g., check X for niche L2 or DeFi projects, not overhyped ones like Monad). Visualize finding one gem that 10x’s your $5-10 entry. Blue Chips: Picture buying BTC or other solid projects during dips (e.g., when fear dominates X sentiment). Avoid ETH if you’re wary of foundation selling—focus on assets with strong fundamentals. Small Gambles: Allocate $5-10 for fun, high-risk bets on BSC or similar chains, but imagine cutting losses quickly if they don’t pan out. Avoid Past Mistakes: Reflect on your losses. Manifest discipline by steering clear of FOMO and unverified KOLs. Check X for community sentiment. Take Breaks: Visualize stepping away from charts to recharge. A clear mind helps you spot real opportunities (like that next undervalued airdrop) without emotional trades. Practical Rituals: To reinforce your manifestation: Check one new project daily focusing on utility or tech (e.g., cross-chain bridges or DeFi with real use cases). Track your portfolio weekly to stay grounded. Save a small “win fund” for when a trade hits—e.g., take 20% profits to treat yourself, reinforcing positive momentum. Be a good person: don't scam, don't rug, picture yourself as a crypto “fren” who lifts others up, not tears them down
