In my first bull market I took my portfolio from just $2700 to $392000.
“Luck is when preparation meets opportunity”.
I did over 100x on my portfolio.
Here’s how I did it: 🧵👇

I’ve never shared all of this because some of the things I did I wouldn’t recommend with hindsight.
Yet, it’s testament to why I try to long left curved ideas.
Some of it is smart, some of it is dumb, some of it cost me, and is frankly embarrassing.
So let’s begin my journey.

So let’s begin my journey.
1: The beginning
I had bought some Bitcoin early 2017 but hadn’t touched the space since then.
2021 came and I re-entered the space.
I was your typical retail exit liquidity.
It was up only when I joined.
Then I longed Cardano prior to the May 2021 dump, whoops 😅.

2: Stupid narratives
My interest kept growing.
I would listen and read untold amounts of content.
Then I didn’t know what was good nor bad, I just digested it all and tried to understand.
Anyway, Cardano had smart contracts coming, lol.
I was working and bought the dip.

I was working and bought the dip.
From May to August I added to my ADA bags in anticipation for these smart contracts.
This was despite, nearly every other layer 1 blockchain having smart contracts.
This became a big sell the news narrative.
ADA went to its bull market all time highs, I pivoted after.

3: Good narratives
There’s sometimes opportunities to make free money, there’s so much speculation and hype that you can print.
In the summer of 2021 the crypto market was “boring” and speculation switched to NFTs in a big big way.

I would search for popular NFT projects on Twitter.
I would put a calendar date down for their mint.
I would go and mint these through separate wallets.
I would dump the rubbish ones for profit.
I would sell the rare ones for a 100x +.

I had a big break, minted a rare NFT for 20-40 bucks (I don’t remember exactly) and sold it for low 5 figures.
This was on ADA during the same period that this coin was beginning to pump to bull market all time highs.
Then the mints weren’t free money, I pivoted.

4: Rotating narratives
I then rotated all of my dumb money to speculate elsewhere.
The coin and ecosystem of choice?
Fantom.
Wow, what a ride!
I read they were incentivising their ecosystem, their price was low, and their tech was great.
Boom, sold, let me get involved.

I was sort of earlyish into this ecosystem in late August early September 2021.
But I won’t say I was the first there.
DeFi was alien to me, I was a deer in headlights.
Yet, the headlights wasn’t a car coming to kill me, it was untold money.
APR here, APR there.

I was fixed, and I did my best to learn everything, luckily there was an excellent community that were providing education.
But I needed to learn more, I needed to get involved.
I was making a lot of money here and saw an APR of 600% if I lock away my coins.

I was making a lot of money here and saw an APR of 600% if I lock away my coins.
I calculated I’ll get my initial back in only two months, and I did, and more.
These locked tokens went all the way up to 350k+.

5: It works until it doesn’t.
Don’t ever end up thinking you’re some genius.
Make risky bets but learn to have some risk management.
Here’s what happened and how you can avoid it:
