Quick hits at a glance - Conviction depends on having a thesis, not raw hope - Clear invalidation > overnight hopium - Sane sizing beats moonbag daydreams - Tune your noise filter; CT drama is not a signal - Diversify, diversify, diversify You need more than just belief to survive the chops. You need ironclad conviction. What nobody tweets is the emotional whiplash: wild drawdowns, fakeouts, and enough FUD to have you triple-checking your entire thesis every three hours. Most CT psychology threads will tell you to “stay strong.” That’s cute. Let’s talk specifics. Here’s how the ones with actual conviction survive, and why everyone else taps out before the real move. 1️⃣Build a rock solid thesis. You don’t just YOLO into a coin because some influencer’s hyping it. A strong thesis is your anchor, keeping you steady when the market’s in chaos. A good thesis comes from digging into a project’s fundamentals. It's tech, use case, team, roadmap, and narrative. Take AI tokens like FET or AGIX, which have been killing it this year. Why? Real-world adoption. Companies like Magic Labs are using AI for decentralized computing, and projects like Pixel AI are tying blockchain to practical applications. If you’re into memecoins, look at the community, the whales, people promoting it and their track record. Sometimes it's easier to know when you know the key players. Before you ape in, ask: Does this project have legs? Is the team legit? If your thesis holds up, short-term dumps won’t rattle you. 2️⃣Play the long game. Every big winner, Bitcoin, Ethereum, DOGE, SHIB, you name it, went through brutal drawdowns before going parabolic. If your thesis is solid, don’t sweat the XX% drops. Look at $PENGU. It tanked after the TGE and about to hit a high post-ETF approvals. I think next will be $Bonk so holding. Also Launchcoin (i believe in Pasternak) The folks who held through the chop are grinning now. Focus on where the project’s headed in a year, not what it’s doing this week. Patience pays. 3️⃣Tune out the FUD machine. Crypto Twitter’s a double-edged sword, great for alpha, terrible for FUD. When a coin dips, you’ll see clowns yelling “scam!” or spreading fake news to tank the price. I’ve seen it with every hot token, from $Solana to recent runner #Useless. When $Useless dipped below 10M, X was flooded with “scam” posts, but the community and meme kept it alive. When $NUB ’s X account got banned, CT deemed it “dead”. But the account is back with a bang, and the community is thriving. The lesson? Verify everything. Check team updates, or community vibes on X. If the FUD doesn’t break your thesis, ignore it. 4️⃣Know the market’s ‘Mood Swings’ Crypto markets are cyclical. Pumps, dumps, consolidation, repeat. Understanding this keeps you from freaking out when your bag’s bleeding. Memecoins like WIF are a perfect example. I posted about WIF dropping from $XXXX to $XXXX overnight yesterday, a XX% dip that would’ve wrecked leveraged traders. But that’s just memecoins doing memecoin things. Historically, tokens like DOGE or SHIB have seen XX% corrections before XXXXXX% runs. Study past cycles, and you’ll see dips as opportunities, not disasters. 5️⃣Spreading your bets is the secret to better sleep. Conviction doesn’t mean going all-in on one coin. Diversifying your portfolio lets you weather storms without losing your mind. I hold a mix, some $BTC $SOL for stability, $Moby $Nuit for Defi exposure, and memecoins like $SPX, #Fartcoin, $Popcat and many more for the crazy gains. Spreading your bets means you’re not sweating every dip, because your portfolio’s got your back. It’s how I usually stay chill when any of my coins dip hard before it's run. So, how to build conviction right now? - Write your plan, DM to yourself or save in Notion. Be blunt. - Set one price alert at your invalidation, silence everything else. - If in doubt, walk away for XX hours. Very few real big trades vanish in a day(not counting the everyday gambles). You don’t win extra points for being glued to the chart. STICK. TO. YOUR. GUNS. This little trick has landed me my biggest wins. Holding through crypto’s chaos isn’t easy. I’ve been down Millions on paper, and it’s never fun. But if you’ve got a strong thesis, keep the long game in mind, ignore the FUD, understand market cycles, and diversify smartly, you’ll come out stronger. I do my research, buy in early, hold through the FUD and drawdowns, and watch it go ZOOOM. The market will test you, hard. It’ll make you question everything. But stick to your plan, and you’ll be the one laughing when the next ATH hits. Stay smart, stay patient, and when in doubt, mute and review your plan. What’s your go-to trick for keeping conviction alive? Drop it below, I’m all ears.
