Good Coin, Bad Buy - Is It Possible?
Price and fundamentals are not the same thing
Let’s clear up one of the biggest lies in this market
“Strong fundamentals = strong investment”
Wrong
Price and fundamentals are not the same thing
They might align for a while
But when they don’t
That’s when people get rekt
Here’s the truth
A great asset can still be a terrible buy
If you buy it too late
Too high
Or without a plan
Howard Marks said it best
“A good asset can become a bad investment at the wrong price. And vice versa.”
That’s all you need to know
Look at $HYPE
$10 — brilliant buy
$20 — fantastic
$30 — great
$40 — good
$50 — decent
$60 — you’re late
$70 — you’re not buying value, you’re buying someone’s exit
The fundamentals didn’t change
Same project
Same roadmap
Same vision
Only thing that changed?
Your entry
Now flip it
Some absolute trash coins
Scams
Vapourware
No devs
No roadmap
No community
They hit rock bottom
Everyone forgets about them
Then liquidity rotates back in
If you know how to front-run narrative
And size your risk
You turn garbage into profit
Not because the asset is good
But because the price was so bad, it became good
FOMO and FUD are death for retail
You see a green candle — you chase
You see a red wick — you panic
If you can’t control emotion
You will never survive this game
Because the truth is simple
Price is emotion
Fundamentals are logic
Your job is to bridge both with timing
Inside 9-5 Traders we don’t chase pumps
We don’t gamble on hope
We study price behavior
We front-run mispricing
We know when to buy
And exactly when to sell
That’s the edge

P.S. Most of your bags aren’t bad projects
They’re just bad entries
Fix that, and your whole portfolio changes
Let’s get to work
