imma say something that’s gonna piss people off
memecoins aren’t gambling.
you are gambling.
i know because i did the exact same shit.
i was 19, in uni, broke as fuck, in debt, working 2 jobs i absolutely hated.
posting this here because this forum is literally where i was when i was losing — same mindset, same mistakes.
i tried every money-maxxing thing before crypto:
none of it worked.
then i found memecoins — and for some reason this stuck.
not because it was easy.
but because it was the first “business model” i touched where the scoreboard is public.
people lie.
screenshots lie.
mentors lie.
wallets don’t.
if someone’s winning, you can see it.
if they’re full of shit, you can see that too.
that’s why memecoins stuck for me when everything else didn’t.
i don’t need permission.
i don’t need customers.
i don’t need an audience.
you don’t need ads, a funnel, or a brand.
just attention, information, and execution.
if something trends, there’s a coin.
if people talk, money moves.
if you’re early and right, you get paid.
it’s brutal — but it’s honest.
when i lost, i knew exactly why.
when i won, i knew exactly why.
and yeah, before anyone jumps me — the game isn’t fair.
it’s an information game. some people have fnfs. some people know shit you don’t. some people are insiders and farmers.
cool. the difference is: onchain, you can actually verify what’s happening.
you can track.you can study. you can learn patterns.
and even when i was blowing my port over and over again, i never quit.
not because i was lucky —
but because i always felt close.
not clueless.
close.
i could see what i was doing wrong.
i just couldn’t execute it yet.
and that’s way more dangerous than being completely lost.
because if i quit, i’d have to live the rest of my life wondering what would’ve happened if i actually locked in.
starting with 3 sol and a dream.
i thought i cracked the code — turns out i was just good at refilling my solana port and repeating the same mistakes.
win once → give it all back
win twice → nuke it from greed or fear
repeat
meanwhile, the same people were winning every single day.
anyone can get lucky once.
but consistent wins. stacking. growing.
same names.
same wallets.
same people.
that’s the part that fucked with me.
at some point you stop coping and ask why.
and the answer is annoying as hell.
it’s not intelligence.
it’s not tools.
it’s not luck.
it’s execution + pattern recognition.
i’m not smarter than you.
i’m not more talented than you.
i just spent a disgusting amount of time staring at this shit and stopped lying to myself about my mistakes.
i fomo’d green candles just to be down 50% seconds later.
i sold bottoms and watched coins pump hours after.
i got scared to hold runners past 1.5x and jeeted.
i overtraded dead volume and revenge traded.
i bought shit i couldn’t even explain why it should go up.
every decision felt rushed, emotional, and late.
weeks passed. nothing changed.
other people printed. i stayed stuck.
i genuinely thought i was cooked.
people love saying “memecoins are dead.”
yet there are still runners.
just in the past week alone, coins under 1m ran to 5m, 10m, 40m, even 100m.
same market. same information. same opportunity.
some people made money.
most people watched it happen.
and instead of looking inward, they blame everything else:
KOLs, streamers, copytraders, “bad luck”
memecoins aren’t dead — most people just can’t execute under pressure.
memecoins only become gambling when you:
that was me for months.
what changed wasn’t motivation.
wasn’t manifesting.
wasn’t inspirational bullshit.
it was fixing execution and psychology.
journaling
stopping comparing myself
becoming my own trader.
being around people who called me out when i was doing dumb shit.
the boring stuff:
the biggest difference now isn’t pnl — it’s clarity.
before, every trade felt like a guess.
now i know why i’m in, what makes me wrong, and when to do nothing.
i don’t panic sell red.
i don’t chase every green candle.
i don’t feel fomo watching a runner i skipped.
i can sit through chop and wait — and that used to be impossible for me.
to be clear, finding coins isn’t the hard part.
everyone sees the same tabs.
the hard part is:
knowing when to blind tail vs fade
building your own thesis so you don’t get farmed
knowing who’s actually in your coin
not letting emotions decide for you under pressure
i still go to class.
i still work.
i still trench.
if i could grind through this while broke, stressed, and constantly fucking up, you can too — if you’re honest with yourself.
if you’re in that phase where:
you’re probably not stupid.
you just don’t have structure yet — you’re trying to grow your port too fast.
i’m not here to convince anyone. if this doesn’t resonate, ignore it.
real trades. real size. i made real mistakes, and always learning.
if you want to talk or ask questions, or don't know where to start, DM me here or add me on discord — tony1759.
not selling signals.
not selling a community.
not here to flex.
just answering people who are actually serious.

posting some recent pnls below for context — not to flex, just to show what is the difference between gambling and following your rules
My progression over months.
these are real trades from this week: with real size, real mistakes, and real progress.

memecoins aren’t dead — most people just can’t execute under pressure.
memecoins only become gambling when you:
- trade without rules
- trade without conviction
- trade scared money
- trade alone with no feedback loop
that was me for months.
what changed wasn’t motivation.
wasn’t manifesting.
wasn’t inspirational bullshit.
it was fixing execution and psychology.

stopping comparing myself
becoming my own trader.
being around people who called me out when i was doing dumb shit.
the boring stuff:
- position sizing
- not trading low-volume slop or really things below
- understanding narratives (why people buy)
- knowing when not to trade
- understanding how people react to information
the biggest difference now isn’t pnl — it’s clarity.
before, every trade felt like a guess.

if you’re in that phase where:

- you keep losing while others win
- you’re tired of feeling late and confused
you’re probably not stupid.
