10 Things to AVOID at All Costs If You’re Serious About ‘Making It’ This Cycle

Reminder

1. Don't FOMO

Most people get rekt in the bull because they FOMO into hot tokens on green days.

This leaves you more exposed during corrections due to an inflated cost-basis.

2. Don't rush decisions

Make money slowly.
Protect money quickly.

3. Don't over-rotate

Hopping from coin-to-coin is likely going to get you burnt.

Make sure you have conviction in all of your trades, so you're not constantly chasing gains on new, shiny objects.

4. Don't over-diversify

Concentration build wealth.

Diversification protects it.

I'm not saying to go all-in on 1-2 projects, but make sure you're not spread too thin either.

5. Don't get greedy

Crypto gains are paper gains until they're realised.

Make sure if you make money, you use it to actually get rich.

Go more risk-off as the cycle progresses, not the other way around.

6. Don't get complacent

If you hit a big winner, lock in some gains.

You could roundtrip sooner than you think.

I like to use an incremental (% based) profit taking system as price climbs, to ensure I'm consistently laddering out as opposed to trying to time the market.

7. Don't use leverage

Leverage is a tool to reduce risk (via increasing capital efficiency), not to increase it.

Unless you're using it with a clear purpose - avoid it all together.

8. Don't panic during flushes

Shakeouts are common during bull markets.

In fact, you should be using these as an opportunity to scale in.

The best Risk/Reward opportunities in the market are during bull run leverage flushes.

9. Don't lock tokens

I think many of us learnt this lesson the hard way last cycle.

Liquidity is key

10. Don't ignore OPSEC

- Don't keep all your funds in CEX utilize @Binance Wallet
- Store your seed phrase wisely

These are just a few tips, but just be aware of your actions and always maintain a sense of paranoia to keep you grounded.

Regret is a killer.

Watching others win,
Knowing you could’ve been there.

You’ll replay it in your head,

Every. Single. Day.

Opportunities like this bull run don’t come back.

Hesitate now,

And you’ll hate yourself for life.

You really thought this bull run would be EASY.

Don’t be so retarded.

You think they’ll let you buy the BOTTOM,

Hold,

And sell at the TOP without a fight?

If it were that simple,

Everyone would be RICH.

But here’s the reality;

90% OF YOU WILL LOSE.

Why?

Because the crypto market isn’t designed for everyone to win.

They’ll shake you out.

Make you doubt everything.

Force you to panic & sell at the worst possible time.

And you know what happens next?

I’ll buy your fear.

Because your panic gives me cheap coins.

That’s how the game works.

Crypto Twitter? It’s no better than the media.

They thrive on your fear.

They overhype every drop, every dip, every sell-off.

They’ll make it seem like the end of the world, so you dump everything.

And when the market pumps,

You’ll sit there saying, “WTF just happened?”

This is not random. It’s a system.

The market rewards patience and punishes emotions.

The big players already know your moves.

They see your stops. They see your leverage.

They know exactly when and how to create fear to make you fold.

Because when you panic, they profit.

They’re NOT playing the market,

They’re playing YOU.

This is why most people never make it.

They fall for the same tricks over and over again.

They don’t understand that the dips,

The FUD, the panic, it’s all part of the plan.

But the winners?

They hold through the noise.

They don’t chase tops or sell bottoms.

They understand that fear is temporary, but smart decisions last forever.

I’ve seen this play out 100 times.

They’ll pump the market after you’ve sold.

They’ll take your coins, hold them, and sell them back to you at the top.

And you’ll be left holding nothing, wondering how it happened.

But not me.

I don’t let them shake me.

I don’t play their game—I play mine.

That’s why I win.

Don’t be their cash cow.

Be the one who knows better.

Wouldn't personally actively trade these but probably good to just hodl them.

I know we're all locked in right now...

But spend time with your family and friends

Some advice:

Always stick to spot and don't touch leverage.

You'll see this often in a bull run where you see these short and strong liquidation events.

You know why?

When everything is going up lots of people fail to see the benefit of spot holding.

Why settle for a 2x when you can get a 5x in the same exact month? We are going up after all. Just enter a long contract right?

The problem? One small wick down (like 2 days ago) and either you get liquidated (account at 0$) or hit your stop loss.

A few days after? Position entirely bounced back and higher than it was before.

Leverage traders are wiped one however while spot is still sitting comfy.

Have rarely seen people truly making it with using leverage in this market. I have often however seen plenty of people make it trading spot in this market.

Wouldn't be the first dm I get on my account with the question:

"BitEagle, can you help me? I used leverage and got wiped out"

Learning lessons obviously but that won't make it any less painful ofcourse.

Again avoid it!

2025 could mark a significant increase in institutional investment in digital assets due to clearer 🇺🇸 US regulations and the potential for Bitcoin as a central bank reserve asset, per Sygnum Bank.

According to their analysis, even modest institutional allocations could dramatically reshape the ecosystem.

Don't want to get rekt this cycle?

Don't buy projects at bad valuations.

One of the MOST asked questions I always got was:

"Hey BitEagle, what do you think about project X"?

Me:
I think they are super solid!

"Ah awesome! So it's a good buy right?"

Me:
Nope

"Huh? But you just said they are solid af?"

Me:
Yeah, doesn't mean they are at a great entry.

"hmm, okay, but I still believe they will be much much higher so I'll buy them, thanks!"

...

These are questions and answers that really happened btw. And they also happened more than once.

Listen, the markets always operates in the same way (check the entire history of almost every coin out there).

What goes up, most come down.

And if it goes REALLY HARD up for a long time? It goes down even harder as well.

If it didn't it would mean no single individual would actually be making money at all (no sells = only paper profit).

I like many projects, doesn't mean I like all of their entries.

Doesn't matter if you found the next Google, if it already is going parabolic it means everyone else already found it as well.

In the end, the goal of any investor is to buy low and sell high no matter what project you bought.

That doesn't mean we will always be right but you can be sure that you'll almost always be wrong when you buy something that looks like a rocket already.

Up to you though.

As this bull run gets deeper,

The noise will get LOUDER.

Celebrities will start chatting shit.

People will start chasing clout.

You’ll see id!ots screaming for attention.

Bold claims, wild predictions.

Most of it will be backed by nothing:

No data, no charts, no logic.

Understand this.

The market thrives on emotions.

The louder they get,

The more they want your attention,

And your money.

Be careful who you trust.

Most don’t even know what they’re talking about.

I’ve seen this happen many times.

The ones chasing hype always lose.

I’m warning you now,

Don’t be their exit liquidity.

MicroStrategy $MSTR set to join Nasdaq 100 on Dec. 23, with the official announcement scheduled for Friday.

Gm.

Altcoin market finding support at previous local high currently.

Good sign again.

Some additional facts:

Current altcoin rally (OTHERS) started at 220B market cap.

It DOUBLED and rallied all the way to 440B market cap in one single go without a correction.

If you thought altcoins taking a breather towards 350-400B was bearish? Ngmi

(if anything, that's bullish more actually)

You’re probably SHITTING yourself right now.

Thinking the crypto bull run is OVER.

Convinced it’s all too LATE.

Panicking because the charts look RED.

Wondering if you should just SELL.

Let me tell you why you’re WRONG.

Do you know who’s panicking right now?

I’ll tell you.

- People who are in their first cycle,

- People who don’t even know how to read a chart.

- People who buy blindly,

- People with no thesis, no strategy,

- People who don’t even know WHY they bought in the first place.

If this is you,

You’re setting yourself up for failure.

That’s the brutal truth.

Without a thesis,

Without a plan,

You’ll never have conviction.

And guess what?

People with no conviction always gets slaughtered.

You think the big players panic when the market dips?

No.

I read the charts.

I know the data.

I have my thesis.

Meanwhile, the ones who don’t?

They’re the ones selling at the bottom,

Buying back at the top,

And wondering why they’re always losing.

If you want to win in this market, stop acting like the 90%.

Have a thesis.

Have a reason for every move you make.

Because if you’re just winging it,

You’re not investing, you’re gambling.

And you’ll never win.
