The "Sleep Test": If you’re checking your portfolio at 3:00 AM, you’re likely over-leveraged. Scale back until you can sleep through the night. Beware of "Influencer Alpha": If a coin is being shilled by someone with a million followers, you aren't "early"—you are the exit liquidity. Tax Hygiene: Keep a log of your trades throughout the year. Future-you will be much happier during tax season if you aren't digging through thousands of transactions at the last minute. Stablecoin Strategy: In a bear market, "sitting on your hands" in USDC or USDT is a valid trading strategy. You don't always have to be in a position. Pro-Tip: Profits aren't real until they are in your bank account (or at least back in a stablecoin). Seeing "green" on a screen is just numbers until you hit the sell button. It’s definitely a marathon, and most people trip in the first 100 meters by trying to sprint. Staying disciplined is the hardest part of the game!
