Two losses in two days will do that to you.
Not devastating. Both small. But enough to make me sit down and actually think instead of just clicking.
I get paid this week. $30 going straight into this experiment. But this time the money has a job before it arrives.
$10 into Hyperliquid. BTC or ETH perps, 2x maximum. I looked up the numbers before committing. $4.9 billion TVL. $188 billion in perp volume last 30 days. $658 million annualized revenue going back to holders. This isn't a narrative. This is a machine that's already running. Near zero fees and you don't have to check a dev wallet before every trade. That alone feels like progress after this week.
$10 into Polymarket. Prediction markets. Real world events, defined risk. $436 million TVL. $11.8 billion in notional volume last 30 days. $459 million open interest. This platform isn't small anymore. No bonding curves, no pump and dump, no rugs. Just your read on how something plays out. I need to learn to think in probabilities instead of feelings. This is where I practice that.
$10 stays untouched. Non negotiable. If everything goes wrong I still have something left. I learned that lesson the hard way this week.
The memecoins were a classroom. Expensive for what they were, cheap for what they taught.
Payday hits. Then we move.
Day 4. Plan ready. Waiting to execute.
NFA. Just someone figuring it out one day at a time.
