In 2025, I would get so stressed over the market dumping because I was just so overexposed to so many different kinds of risk assets
I was dabbling heavily in covered-call stocks, MSTR and Base alts
No index funds
No BTC
No Majors
Low Savings
Lost around $10,000 that year and at one point I actually broke down
This year, I told myself to manage risks better, and as of this month, my allocations are:
> Savings and Stable/Yield: 45%
> Index Funds: 29%
> BTC: 14%
> Trading: 9.5%
> Others: 2.5%
Yes it still sucks to see market go down and my trading port lose a lot but I can weather the storm better now because I know I'm not going to 0
As
@ProofOfTravis once told me, "in this industry, making money isn’t as hard as people think, it’s sitting on your hands and avoiding distractions that is the hardest part."
So I size into few conviction bets with whatever I can afford to and wait while the boring DeFi yield and index funds grows the rest of my stack
do you feel stressed watching this?
if your financial situation depends on short term price movements then you must be
learn skills > make money > invest with a long term strategy
