4 years ago when I was twenty years old I had made 12k off the previous bullrun, which was a lot at the time for a kid working at an ice cream shop. I knew The top of bitcoin was 20k, so I shorted it. But I used a x10 leverage to do so. the Volitility at the time completely liquidated me and I lost everything.

Oh well. Now im 24 years old with a networth of 300k. I really do think losing that made me the investor I am today.

let's just say, I got into ocean before it exploded with a good chunk of change, and I now have about that same amount. so, it's not like I really lost money, but the amount that I should have now if I would have been skeptical of the marketplace, would be magnitudes more. I'm just hoping that they release farming functionality soon so I can get back in the green with that bag.

kelly criteria after you take out inital investment. That can be at 50% pump, 2X or 3X. Martingale on the way down. meaning drop twice as many dollars in a DCA strategy every 20% drop in price (from first buy, so 20 cents, 18 cents, 16 cents etc). adjust that first sell order for initial investment every time you buy. once you sell, you never buy again and look for next one.
