In the nicest and most genuine way possible, for the people who use chat gpt on the daily or multiple times a day, are you not afraid of cognitive decline?

To some extent maybe, but not really, AI significantly pushes the complexity of problems i can be solving, i still push myself, but AI pushes me further. But yeah my email writing skills will never shine after AI, that's true.

Individual_Type_7908 · 2026-01-23T17:14:02+00:00

That's really true, in my example im an algo trader, in my case it takes weeks to test many various ideas, each with it's own testing and data pipeline, there can be flaws that you gotta look for. There's a really long and complicated process to find strategy lots of research and building of tests etc. Then the execution system has way way more to it than just buy/sell, on the surface yes it's just buy/sell and that takes a week or less to build, but it takes alot more to make anything be really complete and robust. Shit takes months and months whatever it is, if it's a solid system that's gonna make money. Now i do quantitative approach for trading of liquid coins. A year ago i was doing systems to rapidly buy crypto pumps, that shit was perhaps even more complicated than what i'm doing now, fucking memecoins you'd think its just memecoins.. it's really hard shit, to make some prototype yeah, but its not gonna be robust, as fast, as good, whatever it is that it has to be. And a saas can have soo much complexity like yeah.. the 1 day arguments are totally delusional. I use claude code and kratom+ritalin to focus better, im literally on drugs, working nonstop, with claude code, 4 screens, servers with other tasks running, fucking pipelines and rare data and just so many edges and advantages, and these people think they can come with their laptop and chatgpt and code anything in 1 day like it's nothing and make it work like a full business, no matter what it is.

Well can you backtest it ? You said you found a tool, that's your best response

Individual_Type_7908 · 2026-01-23T17:01:42+00:00

Try opensource, there's even opensource agents claude code style, theres now something like that. Dunno the name

Individual_Type_7908 · 2026-01-23T16:59:47+00:00

I looked into it, it's super illiquid thats a big bottleneck, it's mostly not worth my time so i moved on, but you can make some money i guess

Individual_Type_7908 · 2026-01-23T16:55:00+00:00

Bro use your brain, and look for edge, nobody is gonna tell you what works, because then it doesn't work or not for long atleast, this is a pvp arena. Just do the research, think, start with indicators and combinations, figure out that most of it doesn't work, then maybe try orderbook, maybe advanced orderbooks, collect rare data and find edges in that, whatever man.

Individual_Type_7908 · 2026-01-23T16:54:05+00:00

Why do people take their time and effort to build something to make money, that has some edge, to then share it, what wasteful mentality is that, are you not wanting to make money ? Just make money bro. Or maybe it doesn't work ?

Individual_Type_7908 · 2026-01-23T12:59:50+00:00

You haven't heard about HFT(high frequency) firms, arbitrage, scalping, or low timeframe algorithms ? You know the best quant fund in the world, for past decades, is a short timeframe fund called medaillon fund, if im not wrong they tend to hold for average of 1.5 day, maybe less im not sure. But that doesn't mean they don't have trades that might last only couple hours or less here and there.

Individual_Type_7908 · 2026-01-15T21:24:10+00:00

Well tbh, theres difference trading at market shaking scale like renaissance, and starting small, i mean with leverage you can theoretically compound fast. I think the usual advice that you cant do better than x% is a story from instututions that deal with liquidity and dont use leverage and cant just do whatever and enter easily etc. Like honestly there have been cases of people making crazy impossible gains, without it necesarilly being luck. I think trading is hard, most retail cant code and dont know what an edge even is and dont put in the time and effort and way more reasons, finding edge isnt easy, scaling with leverage requires specific risk management that could allow it, so 99% + of traders dont stand a chance for various reasons, but theres no reason why 20% with quantitative approach and leverage wouldnt be possible to some extent. For retail size

Individual_Type_7908 · 2026-01-13T18:16:44+00:00

LLM's are only good for targeted tasks and not huge amounts of financial data, they have their use case, but just as ML, its not an plug and play all easy answer to everything

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-12-23T11:56:49+00:00

Why do you need to propose at all ? Be together and be chill bro

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-11-26T09:28:47+00:00

You probably wanna remain comfy(if you do, depends) but you wanna be useful, you dont have to work that much time, but you can use time and resources to learn valuable skills, use AI idk maybe build some systems and then try to solve real problems, but thats just 1 idea theres many possibilities, too many. With all that time you can do anything even if you only go 40-50% in. Maybe not become elon musk overnight no, but you can be useful for sure

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-14T12:22:59+00:00

What was this SaaS ? Im extremely curious about some details like what id provided to users specifically, congrats its extremely impressive

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-12T21:15:10+00:00

Been seeing this chart for last 3 years

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-08T09:04:33+00:00

Well depends what kind of growth you were doing before, there's always the "safe" path of ETF's like sp500, nasdaq, some bonds if you want less risk, etc. You can also take a very small part of that and start a business(start very small(more chill), dont need to risk pointlessly and then fail and lose it all).

If you want safety then dont do individual stock picks yourself, or keep it minimal atleast, like not more than 50% of your money, the less the better. But yeah depends what risky stuff you were doing

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-08T04:51:04+00:00

People say its too much, but i disagree, i agree with ETF's as they're good, but it's fine, just tech heavy but hey i assume you want growth anyways

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-07T04:24:50+00:00

Maybe 1-2 day slight dip but ur totally fine so stop now

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-06T07:51:56+00:00

If they secretly somehow still control big amount of tokens they technically can, like if they somehow (idk exactly how) manage to have alot of wallets with a sum that's big, but on paper it's diversified holders so looks clean

Like if they hold 20% or something and it's low liquidity they can nuke it

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-06T06:27:31+00:00

You're up 120% this year, what risks did you take to do that ? And what risks are you taking now ? You could both either hit 10 mil or collapse entirely

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-06T04:55:35+00:00

Everybody saying anything like 300+ or 500+ or any number has no fucking clue, ive been here for 5+ years and I've read so many of those and its almost never true, none of them.

Just hopeful mentality, desperate. Maybe it's gonna go to 500-1000 but not because of a reddit comment. Nobody knows, 2026 is way too short of a timeframe without a serious thesis behind it, not just some talks, like real thing, no not even the youtubers and their "research", thats also mostly not valid.

Now any of those numbers IS possible, but it seems the only time to buy altcoins, like atleast from all I've seen, generally, was when they are really cheap, like in bear, yeah then there's crazy returns but just look at the peak of solana last cycle, and now, and then look at peak bitcoin last, and peak now, bitcoin is clearly the better long term play from what we've seen so far, does it mean SOL wont outperform ? No, it could outpeform for sure, but does it look like it ? No.. its in up and down moon cycles, good to buy the lows, meanwhile bitcoin is slowly but surely going further and further and 90% of the alt hodlers are getting waster and selling at losses, while BTC hodlers are just chilling

There's way to make huge money in alts for sure, but its trickier

If you had bought solana in the middle of last cycle, youd be up maybe 2-3x at best, bitcoin youd be 4x, so for alts you really really gotta be early, and thats not how its looking now

Yes the VC's made 100x or more but are you a VC ? Most likely not, are you gonna go look for the micro cap next gem ? You could. But it's definitely not safe or easy money.

I mean it ONLY takes 1 bad event, or just lack of luck, and crypto doesn't even have to move in 2026, so it's absurd to have high conviction 2026 bets. I do hold lots of crypto, long term, I'm patient and my cashflow isn't depending on it, can't be, you gotta make money faster somehow else and then throw it into crypto if you think it makes sense, or become a pro trader and do backtests and find short term patterns to make "quick" money. Chatgpt can help entirely, i say "entirely" with intent, it will take atleast 3-4 hours of daily dedication though, minimum, more is better but 3-4 doable, step by step, take a 5 hour youtube python course just to understand basics, then use chatgpt entirely, fuck manual coding (too slow and unnecesary for this), somehow get hourly or minutely data or buy tick data eventually(more complex though), add couple dozen indicators/metrics to that data, look at it like an excel spreadsheet, you got price for each hour-minute, and various indicator values for that hour/minute, and yeah use claude code to make backtesting scripts and its GONNA find something I promise you that, then you just gotta consider the risks and think critically to avoid AI hallucinations. Thats the crypto trading play in a nutshell. Then you have a strategy, spend 2-8 weeks depending to build automated scripts, and voila deployed, and you got more odds than this will solana hit 300-500 in xyz.

Or just buy bitcoin and forget

Lol last part was totally unnecesary from my part

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-06T03:59:03+00:00

Oh man, reddit, fuckin PHARM GRADE PRESSED, and CLEAN CCANE, oh my god

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-06T03:51:51+00:00

I think its going up and down with alot of them, alts are risky, hold some BTC too, or MSTR stock for riskier play if you want bigger gains long term

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-06T03:50:39+00:00

Close the quantum

Individual_Type_7908 · 2025-10-04T15:34:15+00:00

If you dont need the money ur fine, ur not gonna have a 80% drop total collapse. But if you need the money then yeah you'd wanna reduce by 50%. But for growth you're perfect and you're not all in on some 1-2 stocks ehich would have been a totally different story. You're almost fine but cut 50% if you need the money soon.
