The Reality of Crypto Trading: Three Years Without a Break

You know, it's near the end of this year, right? 2023.

I'm realizing I've traded nearly th- well, over three years

worth of price action. That's over a thousand days

worth of price action back to back, back to back.

Like, I've never took those

five-month breaks like how all these other crypto traders have and come back once,

you know, Bitcoin's pumping up a little bit.

Through the bear market, through the losses, through the wins,

through the good

times, through fucking my old

account, CO100X, doing--

just

punching the fuck out of KuCoin, just all them low-cap gems.

You know, futures from when, when, when never really was a thing,

and especially

in our little community we have.

Like, people forget about all that, but it's been, it's a thousand days,

if not more.

It's hard. I'm gonna try this year, man.

This, this is getting very time-consuming, just sitting there, just trading,

trading, trading. Like, even right now,

I'm on holiday. I was thinking to myself before I even

boarded the flight, "You

know what?

Once I come out of this long, I'm just gonna just chill."

But I can't even do that

now because there's more money to make.

You know, if you

show a little bit to the downside, have a little scalp and the scalp pop,

it went

from around thirty-six point five back up to like, I don't know, thirty-eight.

You know, that's some good money you can make there.

But I just wanna chill, but I can't.

I have to look at price action, make, uh, make sure I get the right entry, make

sure I have limits and I'm awake for whenever, you know,

we have

a sweep of my entry. So,

it's long. It's long. So, whenever people see my success

and people say like, "Oh,

this guy makes good money, and he's a good trader," like,

there's a lot behind it.

Sleepless nights. It's 3 AM over here in Kuwait.

Can't sleep.

Just waiting for

something to happen in the market. It's a bit volatile right now.

I just have to wait for it to either just simmer down or just see what happens.

That's the, that's the reality of trading, mate.
