Crypto Deal

More to come, but will leave these words of wisdom!

Crypto

Deals

Framed as opportunities, for instance Prime Day 2025 from Jul 8-11th generated $24.1 billion in U.S. online sales.

• People effectively buy something they've wanted for a year at steep discount, often 50% plus.
• Deals democratize access, allowing everyday people to acquire quality products and assets they've been eyeing but couldn't afford at full price.
• Strategic deal-hunting is a skill that rewards patience, research, and timing. Those who wait for the right moment maximize their purchasing power.
• The best dealmakers recognize genuine value opportunities when markets misprice assets, whether that's a discounted laptop or an oversold crypto project with strong fundamentals.
• In crypto, opportunities appear during market corrections, protocol incentives, airdrops, and early-stage investments, rewarding those who educate themselves and act decisively.
• Smart deal-taking compounds over time: buying quality assets at discount prices accelerates wealth building and creates financial freedom.
• The thrill of securing a great deal isn't just emotional, it's rational validation that you've successfully identified and captured real value in the marketplace.

Leverage/Margin

Smart men go broke three ways: "Ladies, Liquor, and Leverage", and Oct. 10th, nearly 20 billion was liquidated, and the number of people who lost everything, is shocking.

• Leverage isn't a deal, it's borrowed risk disguised as opportunity. You're not getting more value, you're magnifying your exposure to loss.
• A real deal means you walk away owning something. With leverage, you own nothing until you close the position, and the exchange owns you until then.
• Deals have a floor and worst case, you overpaid. Leverage has a trapdoor and you can lose multiples of your initial investment and end up owing money.
• Time works against leverage (funding rates, interest, liquidation risk compounds daily).
• Leverage punishes even correct predictions if your timing is off by hours or days, you get liquidated before being proven right.
• When you use leverage, volatility is a death sentence, a 10% move can wipe out a leveraged position instantly.
• Exchanges profit most from leverage, they collect funding rates whether you win or lose, and they're the house in a casino.
• The greatest fortunes in crypto were built by holding spot positions through cycles, not by gambling on leverage.
