Two losses in two days.
Not catastrophic. Both small. But enough to make me stop and think.
The problem isn't that I'm bad at reading charts. The problem is that pump.fun requires something I don't have right now — enough capital to lose dozens of times before the pattern clicks.
I've been watching the memecoin market too. The numbers tell the story. Peak was December 2024, around $150 billion total market cap. Now sitting around $31 billion. That's not a dip. That's a narrative fading.
I was trying to learn a game that's getting harder while the prize pool shrinks. Doesn't make sense.
So day 3 is about changing direction.
Two things I'm looking at instead:
Hyperliquid. Real markets, real volume, nearly zero fees. You can trade BTC or ETH perpetuals with low leverage and actually learn how price moves without getting rugged by a dev wallet. $45 billion daily volume. This is where serious on-chain trading is happening right now.
Polymarket. Prediction markets. You bet on real world events politics, sports, economics with defined risk. No dev wallets to check. No bonding curves. No pump and dump. Just your read on how something is going to play out.
Both are narratives that are growing while memecoins fade. I'd rather be early to something rising than late to something falling.
Waiting to add a bit more capital before making any moves. Not rushing. Not revenge trading.
Day 3. Strategy updated. Still here.
Not financial advice. Just someone figuring it out one day at a time.
