If you work in finance or real estate and want to add clients or capital through LinkedIn, send me a DM.

If you want to write a memoir or lead-gen book, send me a DM.

Sometimes I drink fish tank cleaner.

(And 5 other questionable health things I do) : 

1. I drink methylene blue. 

Methylene is a textile dye. It's also an industrial-grade fish tank clear. 

I also drink it, because some Bro Scientists think it slows aging, improves mood, sharpens cognition.

It tastes like someone stirred a glass of water and Malort with a Sharpie.

2. I've taken peptides.

Only BPC-157 to speed up injury recovery.

It's not FDA-approved, which I feel is a great sign.

3. I eat 15-18 lbs of plain Greek yogurt a week.

Those 3-pound Kirlkland tubs. Always with frozen blueberries, sometimes with honey if I want a nice little treat.

4. I mix my own electrolyte powder.

LMNT just posts their recipe on their website. Shoutout LMNT.

So I mix all the ingredients together and create my own. It's a bunch of white powders and I have to weigh everything on a scale, so I like to play Pusha T while I do this.

5. I drink ~800 MG caffeine a day. 

1-liter French Press before the coffee shop opens at 6:30.
2 16-oz coffees at the coffee shop from 6:30-11.
Sometimes a 100-200 MG energy drink in the PM. 

After writing this out, I realize I might actually need to get this under control. 

6. I tie my mental health to a social media algorithm.

I hope this post gets a lot of impressions.

Dear Fernando Mendoza. I feel like I can call you Fernando because you and me are so alike. I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to talk about writing LinkedIn posts. I know I can't reach as many people as you but I think you'd be impressed with my impressions. I love the way you conduct interviews, you speak so well. Did you have a good relationship with Curt Cignetti? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you are already doing really well on LinkedIn but I would like to be your ghostwriter so you can focus all your time on preparing for the NFL Draft. I hope you write back this time, and you can be my client. I am sure our relationship would be a real touchdown!

I'm terrible at coaching people at getting over the fear of posting on LinkedIn. I do not understand it.

What do you mean you're scared? Of what your friends will think? Or that people will leave mean little comments?

Do I need to remind you that you and I are not even really here? That if you stretch your arms out to represent the entire history of Earth, human history is the dirt under a fingernail? One swipe of a nail file and the Mona Lisa, the Great Pyramids, and your LinkedIn posts are all gone. 

How many posts can you actually remember reading in the past month? Week? Heck, last 24 hours? 

Do you need bigger problems to worry about? Is that it? As my parents used to say, "I'll give you something to worry about."

Yes! People are going to judge you! If you're any good at this, people are going to leave mean comments! That's OK! You learned emotional regulation from Barney! 

So, no. I can't help you get over the fear.

I don't know how to be afraid of something no one will remember by next Tuesday.

I tell clients to avoid blending in with their peers while being a 31-year-old male who runs a ghostwriting agency, pays $100/mo for Claude, gets 20K steps a day on his walking pad, researches Retatrutide, has strong opinions about seed oils, and talks about how much he loves Cormac McCarthy.

Anyway, did y'all see the Hormozi/Robbins interview?

Recycling your best-performing posts isn't lazy. 

It's the correct strategy.

Just... Make small adjustments so you're not outright lying to people.

Why you can't expect to make money on social media by copying what works for the gurus: Exhibit A.

I know it's easy to dunk on Hormozi. And I genuinely like a lot of his ideas. 

But I also know that if he saw this post, he'd agree with me. 

The ultimate irony:

To get to the point where you can post zero-calorie platitudes and get 2,600 likes, you have to create a tremendous amount of valuable, insightful, unique content that only you could have created.

Then, the bigger you get, the more beneficial it becomes to morph into a human fortune cookie.

I quit my finance job in 2022 to become a writer. 

Now, I write LinkedIn posts. Not what I dreamed of. 

But you know what?

It works. 

My real dream is to get paid for my own content. I want to write books and blogs and screenplays that people shell out millions for. And, candidly, I expect that will happen.

But had I tried that on day 1, I would've been broke by day 30. 

See, when I started in 2022, I had no audience. I had like 1,100 connections on LinkedIn and a Wordpress full of college newspaper sports recaps.

So even if I did write a mindbending novel, it wouldn't have mattered. 

What would I have done with it?
Who would have seen it?
Where would it go?

So you know what I did instead of trying to write something I was passionate about?

I accepted a contract from Progressive Insurance to copyedit their policy docs.

And that's how I made my first few thousand dollars as a "writer."

Since then, I've made LinkedIn ghostwriting my primary service offering. Turns out I'm pretty good at it, and it pays me well. 

I have some plans in 2026 to write and sell you all some original writing. That's a big part of why I try to avoid writing content that's only "7 LinkedIn Growth Hacks!!!!"  

I want to see how people respond to my voice — not just my meta LinkedIn content about LinkedIn on LinkedIn.

If I've earned the right to give any advice to people who want to write for a living, I'm going to commit the worst possible sin a writer can and plagiarize someone else's work.

"You can be idealistic and fail, or you can be pragmatic and succeed—while continuing to fulfill your ideals as best you can."

Lot of insurance companies out there. 

Lot of policy docs that need to be edited.

2022: Quit my job, had 0 clients.

2025: 51 clients. Here are the numbers:

-> LinkedIn Ghostwriting:

$2,650–$4,000/month
7 clients (1 churned)

I've worked with my clients for 7 months–2+ years.

Deliverables: LinkedIn posts, interviews, content strategy, account management, image sourcing, scheduling.

-> Email Newsletters:

$95–$200/email
4 clients

Usually email is a ghostwriting client saying, "Can you write my emails too?"

To which I say, "Yes."

-> Twitter/X Ghostwriting:

$500–$1,900/quarter
2 clients

I never quite got my pricing right for this.

-> Advisor GPS (Course + Community):

$2,199–$6,997
12 members

An accelerator program for financial advisors.

I built this with two partners, so the revenue is not 100% mine.

-> Skool Community:

$900/mo
10 members

I edit 3x weekly posts for clients, provide 1:1 consulting, community access, and coaching calls.

Yesterday, I edited 3 posts for a client. The posts totaled 567 words. I left 1,571 words of feedback on why I made the edits I made.

It's time-consuming, so I'll be raising the price, but I love this community.

-> Agency Work:

$2,500–$5,000/mo
2 clients

Content strategy, ghostwriting, systems work.

-> One-Off Projects: 

$497–$5,875
9 clients

Book ghostwriting, funnel builds, AI systems, guest speaking, tour scripts.

-> Consulting Calls:

$297–$347/hour
16 calls (15 people)

Raising the price on these, too. Prep, 60-minute calls, and follow-up add up.

In total, I worked with 51 unique clients in 2025.

I don't really know what to say next. Because in my head, I'm still 28-Year-Old Adam From 2022 Trying To Figure This Whole Thing Out. And I think I'll feel that way tomorrow. And next year. And in 2030, 2035, 2050, and 2060, Lord-willing and the creek don't do that thing it tends to do.

When I had just started doing this, I paid another ghostwriting agency owner $400 for a 1-hour call. He was doing like $50K a month at the time.

I asked him: "Does this ever feel insane to you? What you've built?"

"Honestly man?" he said. "I've had my head down in the day-to-day for so long that I've never really had a chance to step back and look at it like that."

I couldn't understand that at the time, but now I do.

You could tell me the last 3 years have actually been 3 days. Or 30 years. I wouldn't blink at either.

Time stops being neatly packaged when you're trying to build something. It turns into a forever-unspooling piece of yarn, where every Monday is a Saturday, every Saturday a Monday. April is December. You eat your midnight snack at sunrise. 

It all blurs together, and nothing feels like it ever changes. When I went to sleep last night, I was still 28-Year-Old Adam From 2022 Trying To Figure This Whole Thing Out. When I woke up this morning, I was the same.

But when I pick my head up and look around, somehow everything has changed.

I never expected this. Not in 100 lifetimes.

But man.

I sure am grateful for it.

If I were starting as a ghostwriter with zero clients, here's how I'd close my first within 7 days:

Step 1: Go to YouTube. Click on videos in my niche.

Step 2: Watch the ads the algo serves to me in my niche.

Step 3: Look up the creators of those ads on LinkedIn.

Step 4: Make a list of the ones with no LinkedIn presence (it'll be 90%+).

Step 5: Go watch their 3 most popular YouTube videos.

Step 6: Write 10 LinkedIn posts for them for free. Include visuals.

Step 7: Message them on every platform offering those posts for free until they either agree to test them out or tell me to self-immolate. 

Step 8: Repeat with as many creators as possible.

Assuming you're good at writing LinkedIn content, you will 100% land a client within 7 days doing this.

Last week, I wrote about how I drink 800MG of caffeine a day. People told me that was concerning. But you know what?

Caffeine doesn't even affect me. And who are you to tell me what to do? Sure I get up at 4AM without an alarm and maybe twice per week I can't sleep past 3 and yeah maybe I feel like part of The Walking Dead every afternoon while I'm "crashing" or whatever but what do you even think that has to do with caffeine, anyway? You don't know me and you don't know my life. I know you claim to be "worried about my heart," but when I hurt my back again last month none of you said bupkus. And while we're on that topic, no one is every giving me any credit for showing up here darn near every single day WITH A HURT BACK and STILL posting to LinkedIn consistently. I'm like the Rob McClanahan of LinkedIn content, and you guys treat me like I'm Ralph Cox. Which is kind of a funny thing to bring up as a comparison because there's no way caffeine at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics was like caffeine is in 2026. People wonder why everyone is so anxious nowadays, meanwhile all the corporate girlies are shotgunning afternoon Alanis after their morning double-shot iced mocha and wondering why oh why they feel so much existential dread about the trajectory of their life when everything is so good on paper. I'm telling you they did not feel this way back when Eruzione was lighting the lamp on the Soviets, they were just sitting in the chalet and maybe having a Miller Light and a drag or two of a Marlboro and getting energy from Cold War patriotism instead of cold-can-concoctions of cotton-candy-caffeine. I'm not saying everything is perfect or anything like that, but we used to be a proper country back before we pretended like Auston Matthews was enough to take us to gold in Italy and we left Jason Roberston offer the roster. Like, yeah, let's leave the leading goal-scorer over the past year in the NHL off the team and pretend like that's gonna work out for us, great call Bill Guerin, why don't you go back to mixing up D-pairings in Wilkes-Barre. 

So I don't know why y'all keep saying "800 mG iS toO mUcH cAfFeiNe."

It doesn't affect me like that.

The CEO of Goldman Sachs has 1.4 million LinkedIn followers. I'm just a few spots behind him on the list of top finance creators.

The playing field is more level than you think.

I can sit here and scream about how powerful writing content can be, or I can point to this Favikon list that has me ranked in the same breaths as:

• David Solomon
• Michael Kitces 
• Josh Brown

Dawg. I had my Series 7 for a couple years and sold a few muni bond SMAs. And they've got me a Blackstone's throw away from the guy who runs a $300 billion bank and winters in Baker's Bay.

Now that I'm done bragging, here's the point:

You are not competing against the biggest accounts. You are competing against the people who actually care, and most big accounts don't.

Most of these "thought leaders" have comms teams, PR approvals, and layers of approval processes that result in compliance-filtered, template-driven, toothless content. 

Meanwhile, you have the ability to actually be yourself. 

And being yourself can be powerful enough to get you in the same conversation as people with 1000x your resources and platform size.

Idk, guys. 

I want to talk about how ridiculous this is, but it's not ridiculous. 

It's the whole point.

Friendly reminder that the best way to use AI to write your LinkedIn content is to tell AI to forget everything it knows about writing LinkedIn content. 

LLMs are trained to write LinkedIn content based on LinkedIn content, and the worst thing about LinkedIn content is that it sounds like LinkedIn content. Ideally, you want your LinkedIn content to sound nothing like LinkedIn content.

So when you're using AI to write LinkedIn content, it's best you don't even bring up the fact that you're trying to write LinkedIn content, because then you'll end up with content that sounds like... LinkedIn content.

"How do I sell to people in the DMs?"

Tell them you're selling to them. 

If you genuinely think your service can improve someone's life, it is your obligation to sell to them.

If you do not think that, you are selling snake oil, and you should go do something that doesn't rip people off, like medieval jousting or leading tours on a coffee farm in Hawaii.

I am ashamed to admit I spent the last 3 years and 9 months referring to myself as a "Founder." Is there a more self-important title in the world? 

I did not "found" anything. I paid LegalZoom like $500 and started pressing buttons on my computer.

I've been writing for a living for 3.5 years.

Here are 5 ways to be a better writer: 

♻️ Repost if this helped you and because I paid money for someone to design this for me and I want to feel better about that investment.

I generated 59 million views for clients last year.

10 writing insights you won't get anywhere else: 

1. Create a common enemy. Attack them in third person.

The best content unites you and your reader against a shared villain — Wall Street, conventional wisdom, the Cleveland Guardians, whatever. 

When you throw stones at the enemy, use "they." When you pivot to help your reader, switch to "you." 

The Cleveland Guardians keep stealing your division. They succeed from devil magic. You deserve fair baseball.

2. When your reader IS the problem, use third person anyway.

Sometimes you need to call out a mistake your ideal client is making. 

Don't say: "You all suck at writing."

Say: "8 in 10 financial advisors write the wrong way." 

Third person lets them opt into the criticism instead of bracing against it.

3. Write "poorly" on purpose.

My job in 2022: "I know how to write properly. I will help you."

My job in 2026: "I know how AI writes. It's too proper. I will make it worse."

I sort of hate all of you who just copy and paste stuff from ChatGPT. It's embarrassing. You're an adult. At least pretend like your brain works.

I know I just violated rule 1. 

4. Nuance kills reach.

"I hate all of you" >>>> "I sort of hate all of you" 

If you're going to have an opinion, have the whole opinion. 

5. If it reads well but means nothing, kill it.

"It's all about strategy." 

Cool. 

What strategy? 
Why does it matter? 
What happens if they ignore it? 

If you can't answer those questions, delete the sentence.

6. Only ask questions people will answer publicly.

"What's your deepest darkest secret you've never told anyone?" might spark internal reflection. 

But nobody's typing that out for their boss to see. 

7. Proper nouns beat common nouns.

"Geek Squad" is more visceral than "tech support." 

"Zillow" hits harder than "real estate apps." 

Branded specificity makes abstract ideas concrete.

8. Write so specifically you never have to name your audience.

"I see this with [target audience] all the time" feels engineered. If your copy is specific enough, they'll see themselves without you pointing.

10. Intentionally skip one number in every listicle.

People will call you out for this in the comments bc they feel very smart and it will boost your engagement.

Anyway, what's your deepest darkest secret you've never told anyone?

I've driven 23 inbound leads for 2 advisors in the last 60 days: 11 leads were $2M+ AUM.

→ 11 at $2M+ AUM 
→ 2 at $1.5M–$2M
→ 2 at $500K–$1M
→ 6 under $500K
→ 2 still getting info

I'm taking on one new ghostwriting client starting in March.

This is the first time I've publicly opened a new ghostwriting slot in... 2 years? More? Idk.

DM me if you're interested.

I am working within 15 minutes of opening my eyes every morning. 

Wake up (0.0001 seconds)
Scroll social media on my phone (13 mins, 56.9999 seconds)
Turn off my white noise machine (3 seconds)
Make coffee (1 min)

Then I fire up my laptop, put the Maggie Rogers Tiny Desk on my TV, and start arguing with Claude. 

By the time 8:00 AM hits, I have 4 hours of deep work done. At 11:00, I eat chicken and a boiled potato at my desk. By noon, I've worked an 8-hour day. Sometime between 4:30-5:30 PM, I generally shut it down and go to the gym.

Twice a week, I do 45-60-minute cardio sessions on the stationary bike. I had a friend at the gym 3D print me an attachment so I can snap my laptop onto the stationary bike and work during those cardio sessions.

Some Saturdays and Sundays, I sleep in until 5, but it's usually the same routine. I might start with the Phoebe Bridgers Tiny Desk or the Scarface Tiny Desk, but I run the rest of the playbook the same way.

My average work week is 70-80 hours.

And gosh, is it fun.

I'm always torn between how to post about my work online.

On one hand, I want to tell people to do what I did. Quitting my job and building my own business is the best decision I've ever made. And had I not seen content from other people who did it, I never would have done it myself.

On the other hand, survivorship bias. 

So — I think this post is the right middle ground.

I spend ~80% of my waking hours working, but only ~20% of those hours actually feel like work. The rest, genuinely, feels like play. 

Admittedly, it does go in seasons. I've had months where I've wanted to stab my laptop with a basilisk fang just in case the soul of Ebenezer Scrooge got horcrux'd in there somehow. 

And then I've had months that have gone by in the time it takes me to turn off my white noise machine.

The most important factor in your ability to successfully work for yourself is self-awareness. You need to know if you're actually talented, you need to know if you're actually a hard worker, you need to know if you actually love it — or if you just don't want to be doing the other thing you're currently doing. If you lie to yourself about any of these things, you're done. 

And even if you have a little bit of success, there will always be something in the back of your head telling you, "Tomorrow, this might all come crashing down."

So that's why I am working within 15 minutes of opening my eyes every morning.

The Goo Goo Dolls are a better band than The Beatles.

"Hook" is Dustin Hoffman's finest work.

On his deathbed, Andrew Lloyd Webber will admit that "Cats" was a social engineering project to see if he could fool the general populace. He won. 

The Detroit Tigers threw the 2006 World Series.

"My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is the greatest work of art humanity has ever created. Not the greatest music album — the greatest work of art.

The Last Lost Continent by La Dispute is second. 

I shouldn't have gotten in trouble for watching baseball on my phone at the Grand Rapids Symphony that one time.

5'9 is a normal height, find a new slant.

Jeopardy! pretending Mayim Bialik ever deserved to host over Ken Jennings was the biggest charade since they tried to convince us La La Land deserved to win Best Picture. 

Someone needs to disrupt the printer industry.


These are some things I think.

Want to break free from the 9-to-5 grind?

When I was stuck in the 9-to-5 cycle:

- I felt trapped, exhausted, and unfulfilled.
- The daily grind left me with little time for my family, friends, or personal passions.

I knew there had to be a better way to live—
- A way to achieve financial freedom, flexibility,
- And a more fulfilling lifestyle.

That's when I discovered the power of trading stock options.

I escaped that 9-to-5 grind with it.

Learn how I did it and built a 6-figure income stream from trading.

Reach out to me if:

- You want financial security and independence.
- You're looking to supplement your current income.
- You'd like to build location freedom, time freedom, or both.
- You crave lifestyle improvements and luxury experiences.
- You're interested in options but feeling a little bit skeptical.

I can feel you because I was you when I was in that 9-to-5 cycle.

I'll teach you my method that has:

- Daily ROIs of 30-300%
- Documented win rates of 78-80%

And I can even help you turn your spouse into a believer.

Ready to achieve financial freedom, build a reliable second income, and enjoy a flexible lifestyle?

Great! What are you waiting for?

Reserve your spot in my next course at www.BillFanter.com.

Still skeptical?

I get it. My husband used to be a skeptic, too.

Just send me a DM and we'll grab a few minutes to talk.

Here's Jeff Bezos's 52-second secret to eliminating stress.

(No, it's not being worth $251,000,000,000.)

Bezos:

"Stress primarily comes from not taking action over something that you can have some control over."

Think about that time you:

• Avoided having that tough conversation.
• Put off making that important decision.
• Delayed starting that side business.
• Ignored learning that new skill.

The stress wasn't from the thing itself.
The stress was from avoiding it.

Want to toss and turn at night?

Then watch opportunity pass you by while doing nothing about it.

Want to sleep like a baby?

Take the action you know you need to take.

The most common complaint I receive about my Masterclass is the frustration over the price increases. 

Many people express disappointment that they didn't enroll when it was 50% cheaper.

I want to emphasize that I have dedicated two years, showing up daily here with proof that this skill is golden. 

I trade live every morning 
I share all my charts 
I tell you what I’m buying 
I communicate when I’m selling 
I do a recap of why I took the trade 

172 people showed up to trade live with me this morning and we all crushed it like a bunch of thugs in less than an hour. 🤣

The price for the April class isn’t going to be any cheaper so why not join in January while you can?

"Trading is gambling" aged like milk in 2025.

Retail investors beat Wall Street. 

In April, Trump's tariffs sent the market into freefall. The S&P 500 dropped 5% in a single day.

Hedge funds freaked out and ran for the exits.

And retail investors?

They bought $3 billion in stocks that same day 🤣 

A week later, Trump changed his mind (love the TACO trade), and the S&P jumped 9.5%. 

The people who bought the dip made a killing.
The people who panic-sold locked in their losses.

From Mark Malek, investing chief at Siebert Financial:

"Retail investors have been more right about the market and how to react to a lot of the emotionally driven trades of the year... They’ve been much more accurate in their dealings than my colleagues in the institutional space.”

And that's why regular people like you with Schwab accounts are beating the big banks' fancy AI trading systems.

Wall Street calls you "dumb money."
Financial advisors say it's a scam. 

And the numbers say retail traders won in 2025.

Don't miss out again in 2026.

Today was uneventful. 

I traded live with 134 people, and we executed 3 total trades: 2 winners and 1 break even. 

After the call, I took one more small loss on Apple as the market was stuck in a channel. 

With options, we need volatility and price movement. 

Trading in a channel erodes premiums, and I would even accept price manipulation. 

The good news is that $348 a day adds up to $83,520 a year in extra cash. 

Visit BillFanter.com to join me for the next Masterclass which starts next Monday.

January Masterclass enrollment closes this Sunday.

Student Testimonials

Yesterday marked a special occasion as we celebrated Fraymond’s birthday. 

Nothing beats a great Vegas steakhouse:
- Wedge salads
- New York Strip Steaks
- Lobster Tails
- Mushrooms
- Baked Potatoes
- Cabernet wine for him
- Kettle One vodka with soda for me

The total bill was $546.02, including the tip, and it was a bargain for the experience. 

Understanding how to monetize a skill makes spending feel irrelevant. 

Especially when I could get up this morning and make over $3,500 in under an hour.

This morning, we traded a live with hundreds of participants who successfully executed winning trades that increased by over 50%. 

Skepticism is natural, but consider this: why would 1,200 people remain in my trading community if they weren't seeing financial success? 

It just wouldn’t make any sense… Now would it?

The next master class starts on Monday so I hope you’re enrolled.

I really don’t understand how you can possibly lose at trading.

We teach you everything you need to know 

We trade live daily for you to watch and learn 

We tell you what and when we are buying 

We share when we are selling and taking profits 

We do a trade recap explaining everything in detail

The only thing we can’t do is to control your greed and fear which is why so many traders fail. 

$711 a day for an hour of work isn’t too shabby.  

Now I have the rest of the day to do whatever I want… ready to learn?

Nancy Pelosi always outperforms the stock market - and nobody thinks that’s odd? 

Her portfolio performance has been... let's call it "impressive." 

While the average investor struggles to beat the S&P 500, some politicians seem to have a crystal ball.

Here's what's really happening:
• They set policy for entire industries
• They know what's coming before anyone else
• They can position long or short ahead of announcements
• There are currently ZERO restrictions

The craziest part? 

There's literally software that tracks every single trade from elected officials. Every weekend, you can see exactly what Pelosi, Marjorie Taylor Greene, or any politician bought or sold.

It's not even hidden anymore.

Right now, Congress is debating whether politicians should be allowed to trade at all. 

But until then? It's the wild west.

The uncomfortable truth: This isn't investing. It's legalized insider trading with a government badge.

Meanwhile, regular investors get prosecuted for far less while politicians profit off information that moves entire markets.

Hot take: If you can't beat them, maybe it's time to follow their trades. What's your stance - should politicians be banned from trading stocks?

Retail traders just proved the "smart money" wrong - again.

While institutional fund managers were caught off guard by the tariff announcements in 2025 and failed to buy the dip, guess who stepped up? 

Retail traders.

They're the ones who pushed the market back to new all-time highs while professional fund managers were playing catch-up in Q4.

Here's what this tells us:
• Retail sentiment can move markets more than we think
• Individual investors are becoming more sophisticated
• The "dumb money" narrative is outdated
• Sometimes the crowd gets it right when institutions hesitate

We're about to see fund performance reports for 2025, and I suspect many institutional players underperformed while retail traders who bought the dip came out ahead.

This shift represents a fundamental change in market dynamics. 

Retail traders now have access to the same tools, data, and speed as institutions - and they're not afraid to use them.

The democratization of trading is real, and it's reshaping how markets move.

The meme stock phenomenon was back in 2025 - and it's wilder than ever.

We're witnessing something unprecedented: a crypto-friendly administration launching their own memecoins, followed by family members jumping in. 

It's like 2021 all over again, but with a political twist.

Here's what I'm seeing:
• Bitcoin and memecoins are getting institutional backing
• Retail investors are FOMOing into "shitcoins" expecting moon shots
• The same pattern repeats: early birds win, latecomers get burned
• These assets consistently implode after the initial hype

The reality? If you get in at the very beginning, the returns can be incredible. But timing is everything, and most people enter when it's already too late.

The lesson isn't to avoid these opportunities entirely - it's to understand the cycle and manage your risk accordingly.

What's your take on the meme stock revival?
