How to retire early and keep your gains Probably an obvious post, but easy to lose yourself in a state of market frenzy. - - - - - 1. Dumb Investor a) Breakdown • Portfolio/net worth remains the same maybe due to bad decisions or getting caught by the market • Income stays flat, no compounding, no real edge b) Actionable steps • If trading is not for you , there are many other side quests to pursue (content creation, work full time at a project/company, build something with your close friends, airdrop farm) --> create more sources of income + focus on finding your edge (if trading perps is not for you, go on chain and vice versa) • Create a system in place: budget + journal + excel PnL and portfolio tracker + risk management systems • Learn to stop over trading, sit out when there is a lack of narrative and only be active when there is a new and fresh meta • Train your muscle memory to spot fresh narratives and non-consensus plays - - - - - 2. Smart Investor a) Breakdown • Spending decreases, disciplined and stay within the budget • Speculating/Apeing still present but possibly done more selectively and contributes to upside --> you did well, probably graduated from the trenches but still need to actively invest/ape if you are still at 6-7 fig port (here comes the fabled high 6s to 7 fig hell where "you are too rich to work, but also too poor to retire") b) Actionable steps • You now know how to survive (most impt) not to die in crypto. Now it’s time to learn how to win • Accumulate wealth by being smarter about bets (size into conviction plays) and maintaining control of expenses (you now have money, easy to squander it all away if not careful) • Zig while others zag (e.g early to robotics and biotech, or apeing PIPEs/equity stocks when everyone else was still in altcoins) • Size into things that will create meaningful returns to your portfolio, eliminate things that are time wasters • Systematise your learnings, stack XP points • Constantly off ramp, just to create a safe nest egg and diversify + spend on life upgrades • Scoop non-consensus bets at low valuations but they have strong team and market misplacing • Size into bigger cap coins that have narrative + future catalyst ("reasons that people want to own in the future") - - - - - 3. Wise Investor a) Breakdown • Everyone's goal, when income/portfolio becomes dominant through compounding and smart positioning --> you've probably reached high 7 figs to 8/9 figs here • Your spending is basically life upgrades, safety and enjoyment • Speculating is minimized or timed well, probably best just to put into safe stuff/btc --> constantly cash out to buy real estate, maybe a proper (kek) business • If done properly, probably exits the cycle early or becomes a giga whale • Humans basically want to optimise for 2 things: money and time, you've solved for the first one now buy back your time b) Actionable steps • Optimise for fulfilment and leaving a legacy (build or start something, work on your passions) • Prioritise for anonymity, stealth wealth, buy back time, safety --> the more you scale your port, the more you are a target • Wealth preservation is paramount Having said all the above, one quote still rings true for me: "most of us came from nothing, so how can we lose when we started of with nothing"

ZetaChain: Innovating Interoperability to Achieve Seamless Asset Transfer Across Chains In the wave of the multi-chain era, numerous public chains are emerging, but they also face challenges such as liquidity withdrawal and capital exhaustion. Some public chains overly rely on cross-chain bridges to introduce assets, and when security issues arise with these bridges, the entire ecosystem suffers a heavy blow, sounding an alarm for the entire industry. Against this backdrop, ZetaChain was born. As a forward-looking omnichain interoperability platform, ZetaChain is dedicated to addressing the fragmentation and limitations within the current blockchain ecosystem. By seamlessly connecting assets and data across different blockchain networks, ZetaChain opens up new possibilities for the development and operation of decentralized applications (DApps). The core team of ZetaChain brings together senior industry experts from well-known companies in the field.
