Episode notes
College Introduced Him To Crypto
- Average Reply Guy started in crypto in 2016 after a college class introduced him to Bitcoin and an ETH-mining classmate convinced him to buy Ethereum.
- He and classmates ape'd altcoins in 2017 and got sucked into pump-and-dump groups, which shaped his early experience.
RuneScape Gold Bought Crypto Seed Capital
- He funded much of his early crypto by selling RuneScape gold for BTC and ETH, which accidentally bought a market bottom.
- That RuneScape-to-crypto path gave him a useful market education and seed capital into 2021.
Favor Long Swings Over Day Trading
- Trade longer-term swings and focus size on what you understand; avoid low-timeframe trading if you lack practice.
- Manage risk by keeping small sizes on unfamiliar short-term strategies.
