Cented isn’t the best because he’s fast “Best advice for new pairs is time spent in the market. People think Cented is the best just because he’s fast. If Peterbot came into the market he’d get obliterated. Speed matters, but Cented’s biggest advantage is he’s been onchain more than pretty much anybody. He’s a human encyclopedia.” “He’s seen 50 to 60% of every coin deployed for two years. Redeploy, bonded yesterday, done on Bonk, done on Robinhood, he already knows. He can execute with a full thesis without clicking off the page. How do you get better at new pairs? Time onchain. The less DD (Due Diligence) you have to do, the better you are.”

how to come back after you fully zero “If you took all of Cupsey’s money he’d just make another $10M in 6 to 12 months. He has a system. If you’re somebody like James Wynn who round tripped $100M by full port gambling, that’s going to be really hard to replicate. It depends on the person.” “If I was at zero I’d grind a couple bands however I could, then sit and stare at the screen for 24 hours and only take the obvious trade. I wouldn’t trade sludge. I don’t have the discipline for that now because I want to chill. You can’t afford to do that if you’re poor. If I was zeroed I’d completely change the way I trade.”

1 sol port is not why you’re stuck “If your mentality is too much on your port size, you’re wasting energy. You shouldn’t be thinking about that at all. Memecoins is just identifying narratives and analyzing risk-reward. You can find something that’s good and still be looking at it at the top.” “Paid is at $20M MC right now. Of course it’s a good coin. What’s the ceiling, and is this worth buying here? It’s not enough to be a good coin. It’s got to be a good entry. Find good narratives earlier and earlier. Don’t worry about port size. You’re wasting time.”

how to position for genny volume as a beginner “The best way to position yourself for genny volume is to sit on your hands and trade 10% of what you want to. You want to take 10 trades, take one. You want to take one trade a day, take one trade a week. Trade a lot less than you instinctually want to.” “As a beginner you should wait for the consensus runners. You’re not good enough yet to be early. You don’t have to be late either. You can be in the middle and still scale your port.”

How to tell when something is an obvious runner “A coin sticking out above the rest. Lots of volume, lots of fomo buys, lots of tracked wallets, and it’s a narrative, not a dev coin that rugs to zero if he sells. That’s an obvious runner. Market’s good enough now you can get in late and still scalp a 2x just because it’s on fomo and there’s so many people onchain.” “You don’t have to be first anymore. A year ago I’d say you have to be early or the risk is too high. Now if it’s a narrative that grinds up and down, you can still get paid. The ideal is catching it before it becomes obvious. Build your own confluence and get there first.”

what to do if you’re unprofitable “If you’re unprofitable for a year, change what you’re doing. There’s no better time to learn than now. A year and a half ago Axiom had 2,000 people and there was no fomo. Now Axiom says 13k and fomo’s got like 100k. The runner of the day used to have 1,000 holders. Now it has 20,000.” “The best skill you can learn in trading is not how to hit home runs. It’s how to not get drilled. Don’t overtrade. If you’re new, wait for the obvious runners. You know what the obvious play is. You’re just too impatient. You get smoked buying sludge, so even if you hit the obvious play you already lost 5x it.”

flip $100 by only buying the obvious coin “If I had $100 I’d throw 30% on every trade and go for a 2–3x on a consensus narrative play. Hot tweet, clear MM (market made), not some tech coin that can get rugged. Then hop off and go next. In this market you don’t need to hunt TikTok virality. Wait for the consensus runner and work on your timing.” “ $Pistacio $baton solana:CTPoyCwkjMvoJwU4xvZZqoD8tiYk6yDchySiN5gGpump $ZCAT . You didn’t have to buy the floor. You could’ve bought when the faucet turned on, or after the Alon follow, and scalped it. The tricky part is sitting 10 hours and not rinsing yourself on slop until then. That’s what Nyhrox does. He only buys consensus. He might not make $40M, but what he does is more scalable for most people.”
