Another month goes by – a very painful one for crypto, and so for me.
I know I keep saying it, but don’t panic! Sure, it sucks. Sure, it’s a crash by the technical definition of one. But that definition was created for the stock market, where prices rarely move by more than 10% at any time and this is crypto, where a 20% change is just another day. Bitcoin is not dying, crypto is not a ponzi scheme, crypto bros are still just as full of shit as they always have been, everything’s normal.
Moving right along, here are this week’s numbers:
Like last week, not much movement there. We kinda expected that with another week of sideways movement. In detail:
- Trading down 5.22%
- Copy Trading up 5.94%
- Banking down 1.46%
- Overall down 0.25%
Yeah, stagnant. Still, I’m not complaining: I’d rather lose 0.25% than 25%!!
This month’s stats:
- Trading up 8.56%
- Copy Trading down 39.97%
- Banking down 28.41%
- Overall down 24.94%
That Copy Trading number looks horrible but it includes $1k moving to Trading when I made adjustments last week. Overall a 25% dip, which is pretty normal in the last 4 weeks – the markets did much the same, if not worse.
The dual investment thing is going well, which helped my Trading number go positive. I think I’ve got the hang of that now, at least a little. Timing, picking the right options, that sort of thing. Still got a little BTC stuck where I bought a bit high ($71k), but that’ll move soon enough. And the ETH side is running nicely.
’26 Picks
Not much to report here, either. As expected, the altcoins continue to shuffle along much like the big coins. Small losses, nothing major. I guess we’ll have to wait for the big names to pick up before the small coins are dragged back up with them.
And look at PUMP… still positive!
We’re fast approaching the end of my first year of doing this stuff (though still a long way off with the new p0x approach), so I’m really hoping the markets climb in the next month. It’d be wonderful to finish that first year with profit, especially since it started so well (before I screwed up big-time with the whole copy trading mess).
To quote WIll Smith: “Tick, tick, tick, tick, boom”?
