Hi Sol,
First, some appreciation. Thank you so much for this detailed post. I am very interested in becoming a degenerate like you. Secondly, I thought the guide was really funny. I actually laughed out loud a few times. Thank you for the entertainment while also filling me with knowledge.
I have so many questions, however I don't want to inundate you, so I will start with a couple.
1) Are there any mistakes you made that would be good pitfalls for a beginner to watch out for?
2) Say I want to start with the Solana strategy because of the low fees (is the Solana still your low fee go to?). How would you manage your funds to start? I was thinking $100 bank roll and throwing $5 at each good coin I see. Are these good numbers? Is there a maximum cap of coins I should be invested in to start? Can I lose money while simply not paying close enough attention to my coins?
Thanks again!
Hey thanks for the questions!
1) Thousands, mainly due diligence at the start and trust. Do NOT trust anyone in the crypto space, nobody cares about you or what you know. Everyone in Crypto is there to make money and keep it moving, you will find helpful people but don’t for a second think anyone will put YOU before them.
Don’t trust anyone in the space, use everyone to your advantage take the good and leave the bad.
Once again, trust nobody. You may eventually find yourself in a small community or even a groupchat with 3-4 people where you just grind charts all day but end of the day they are there to make money.
2) You can’t lose money, You will. It’s almost inevitable to not lose money at the start. You have no idea about KOLs, dev wallets, MEV bots, slippage, low liquidity, minting blah blah blah. You will lose money, that’s uncontrollable. However, you can control how much you lose and that comes with being selective with plays.
Solana is my go to and actually I don’t hold a single cent of ETH anymore. Solana right now is popping off even today I cleared well over $7,000 (remember shitcoins are degenerate and no fundamentals. Someone else lost $7,000 today)
Sure, having $100 and putting $5 in every good coin sounds great but reality is it’s boring. What you need to do if you are interested in memecoins is find a community that also is interested in these memecoins. That way, you learn strategies and can ask questions along your journey.
