Something's been bugging me after a conversation earlier. You know that shift that happens once you hit your number? When the pressure eases up a bit?
Here's what I'm curious about: Were your trades sharper back when you were grinding—broke, desperate, every move mattered? Or are you actually better now that you've got some cushion?
What changed? The strategy? The emotional baggage? The risk tolerance?
Let's hear it.

Your instincts are indeed sharp when you're on the brink of bankruptcy, but that's not because of good strategy—it's because you're forced into survival mode. Now that you have a buffer, it's actually easier to become indecisive and overly cautious, and that's the real test.

Hmm... this question really struck a chord with me. To be honest, that feeling of being on the verge of bankruptcy actually made my mind very clear.

To be honest, I'm the opposite. When I was broke, I was nervous and calculated every trade down to the last cent, but ended up losing even more. Now that I have a bit of a buffer, my mindset is much more stable, and I can hold on for real opportunities.

The real thought is... having money actually makes it easier to become complacent, while the level of focus you have when you're broke is truly different.

Hmm... that's an interesting question. I've noticed a pattern: most people start acting recklessly after they get money, and on-chain data doesn't lie.

Nah, seriously, when you're broke your mind is actually clearer... Once you have a cushion, you start messing around.

Nah, that's a spot-on question. I'll be honest—the truth is, when I'm hungry, my hands are definitely faster, but I make more mistakes too. Now that I have a buffer, I can actually last longer.
