most portfolios of crypto native investors look identical: - during bull phases they SIGNIFICANTLY outperform normies' stock portfolios - during bear phases they SIGNIFICANTLY underperform normies' stock portfolios - many crypto bros roundtrip their ENTIRE gains the first 1 or 2 cycles before they keep some of their profits - a few lucky investors make life changing money and they mainly do it with 1 - 2 plays, e.g. buying punks early, buying trump memecoin early or getting a big bag of hyperliquid airdrop if i had to summarise the main difference between a regular professional investor and a crypto investor it's RISK crypto bros have a significantly higher appetite for risk. they WILLINGLY take on more risk for potentially higher gains. the peak of that behaviour were memecoins in 2024. we basically bought assets that we KNEW were bundled, worthless and purely speculative and, yet, we traded billions in dollars of it for a year the last missing piece for most crypto bros to keep their wealth is to properly manage their risk. the main method of risk management i see in crypto is to sell your crypto and off-ramp it to fiat so that you can't deploy it in silly new things
