Looking back, there was a time when I caught some serious runs on memcoins like PUPS and PYTHIA—hit 400x on the former and 200x on the latter. Back then I was grinding hard on the trading game, doing the legwork that most skip over. The community knew the name. But then I got complacent, stopped putting in that work.

Here's what stuck with me though: belief isn't just motivational talk—it's actually the foundation. Without it, there's no legitimate path to serious returns. You can't force 10x through luck or shortcuts. The market doesn't work that way. Conviction, preparation, and patience? That's the real playbook. Everything else is noise.
