It’s time to adjust the rebate arrangement. When a market reaches a certain stage of cutthroat competition, that’s when I need to make a change. If you want to make money, you have to fish where the people are. It’s gotten to the point where I’m taking on the stress of a drug dealer while earning cabbage money.

Taking a break doesn’t mean I’m quitting; I just need to shift my focus. Those who are already with me don’t need to worry about their rebate rate being downgraded. Even if no new users sign up through me, I still need this rebate rate, and I’ll meet the quarterly requirements on time. If you come across me and trust me, you can still set one up through me. In reality, most of the benefits go to you.

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. It’s time to slow things down. A lot of people might think this makes a fortune, but only those in the know understand that it’s really just a bare-minimum income. I don’t give trading signals or livestream, and sometimes there really isn’t much income from rebates. Some of my current accounts only get a 40% rate, and if I give the whole 40% away, do you really think I’ll make anything?

There are still plenty of promising paths in the crypto world. It’s time to return to my identity as a Nasdaq trader. After everything I’ve been through, I shouldn’t let myself go completely broke again.

For the past three or four years, most of my capital has been running quant strategies. In a market like crypto, running major coins honestly feels like coasting. But over time, it makes you complacent and unwilling to take risks. Once you’re detached from the market, you worry too much about risk. Not making a move means you won’t lose, sure—but you’ll never win either.

This rebate business has also shown me that everyone is trying to prove themselves, but they all end up leaving at a loss. The most ironic thing is that the bigger a sucker someone is, the more they think they can win; the greener they are, the more they think they’ve cracked the market makers’ code.

From here on, I’ll take a more laid-back approach while I transition. I believe I’ll make it through successfully, and I wish everyone the best in finding their own goals. This world belongs to you—and to us.
