đ 4 rules for the bull market
PLUS: watch this
GM everyone. This is 2036. We scroll for gems all day so you donât have to.
Hereâs what weâre serving up today đ˛: Ladies and gentlemen - the bull market has officially started. If you want to make it out with actual $$ in your pocket, here are a couple of golden rulesâŚ
Letâs dig in.

Bitcoinâs making new all-time highs - again â
Yesterday saw $1 BILLION of inflows into the Bitcoin ETFs - the highest number recorded so far.
This is just the beginning. When altseason kicks into high gear, things will get much crazier.
You should have core holdings in BTC, ETH & SOL.
But youâre inevitably going to want to buy some other altcoins - so here are a few things to rememberâŚ
Rule #1: âItâs easier to predict the long-term than the short-termâ đŽ (Naval Ravikant)
No one knows where crypto will be next week - but itâll probably be much, much higher in 6 months.
The short-term is impossible to predict.
So, if youâre panicking because your coins are going down over days or weeks, zoom out and increase your time horizon
The only way to build wealth in crypto is to:
a) take large positions (you donât want to be the person who knows cryptoâs the future only to put 0.5% of your portfolio in it)âŚ
b) and hold them through the inevitable ups and downs.
For that, you need conviction. Without it:
youâll panic-sell on every -20% move. And there will be many of them.
the bull market will be a nightmare because youâre constantly worried about short-term prices
youâll end up chasing shiny objects left and right (there are new ones every day).
Weâll soon get to the stage where EVERYTHING pumps. Until thenâŚ
Rule #2: He who chases two rabbits catches neither đ°

Different narratives and coins will pump at different times, and if youâre constantly trying to catch the latest pump, you likely wonât make it.
If every influencer on YouTube or TikTok is talking about a coin, itâs probably already too late.
Instead, your job is to:
HOLD majors (BTC, ETH, SOL) or strong cycle-long narratives (like memecoins, AI, gaming, etc.)
sell when things get frothy.
Donât overpress those buy/sell buttons in between.

And to help you choose what to own outside of the majorsâŚ
Rule #3: Left-curve everything đ¤Śââď¸
The bull market has begun its time to left curve everything.

Remember this meme?

Itâs the most important in all of crypto.
Most people donât make it because:
they think theyâre on the right side of the curveâŚ
⌠when theyâre actually in the middle.
If thatâs you - youâre not alone. This is my single biggest mistake in crypto.
Still today, I routinely catch myself mid-curving narratives. I overthink. I rationalize everything.
In bear markets, overthinking can help you protect some of your downside.
But in a raging bull market, it can massively stunt your returns.
To help you not mid-curve - ask yourself this: what will the average investor with $500 want to buy in 3 months?
modular L3 EVM-narrative they donât fully understand?
OR the dog coin going to $1?
Donât overthink this.
Rule #4: Be fully allocated đ
Over the next few months, youâll often hear people say:
âIâll buy when it dipsâ
But thatâs just what they tell themselves to feel better about being on the sidelines while everything is going up.
Because hereâs the reality: if youâre not slightly uncomfortable with your crypto exposure, you probably arenât allocated enough.
Weâre about to get opportunities that only come around once every 4 years or so.
Donât miss out on them because youâre âwaiting for a dipâ.
Place your bids and let time do its job.
Weâre going much higher.

Instead of a regular meme today, go watch this super short video.
It shows the founder of the worldâs first AI software engineer - 14 years ago on TV.
I believe this is the beginning of:
the end of software engineers
the repricing of our AI crypto coins much higher
Enjoy.
