Story of how Ignas join crypto
Joined crypto in 2018.Bought the top and kept losing money. Started to research why and ended up working for a CEX.
During the DeFi summer I started to focus on DeFi only and never looked back. In fact, just a month ago I quit CEX to focus on DeFi full time.
His research thesis & method
I focus my research on counter-narratives, or unpopular opinions. This means looking at something that people are building, but the narrative hasn't picked up yet. Examples are RWAs, DeFi Options, SBTs, On-chain Indexes.
Can find my logic behind it on my thread about counter-narratives. But these trades require time, so I include short-term bets. I look at DAO proposals, On-chain data, Discord chats, AMAs too.
His favouite movie!
Pinky and the brain is my favorite movie.
It's also represents two personalities of every trader: the DYOR, cautions and the one you does research. But the other side of us is FOMO, short-term thinking that just wants do get rich now!
What do he think its required to make it in crypto
"what do you think its required to make it in crypto" Critical thinking and having a special edge in some area. It means not blindly following the crowd, but thinking for yourself.
