If the Three Kingdoms were compared to the crypto market, then: 1. Liu Bei: After multiple losses in swing trades, he got furious! Let emotions take over, went all-in at the top on a 'revenge coin,' only to see a massive red candle at Yiling crash 90%. Thirty years of hard work wiped out overnight. 2. Zhuge Liang: Obsessed with short-term swing trades for the long haul, made six Northern Expeditions, suffered heavy wear and tear, didn’t set stop-losses, burned out completely, ran out of cash flow, and ultimately drained himself to death. 3. Cao Cao: Spent most of his life on value investing, holding quality value coins across the board. His risk management was textbook-level, but in his later years, he mishandled his private keys. The Sima clan, a group of hackers, took over his multi-sig wallet, draining his entire lifetime holdings clean. 4. Lü Bu: Maxed out leverage, chased pumps and dumped at the lows, bought the top of Dong Zhuo Coin, and got liquidated on the pullback. Principal wiped out. 5. Chen Gong: Bought True Dragon Coin (Cao Cao) at a low price but sold too early, missing out on a 10x rally. Later, he went heavy on ST Lü Bu Coin, knowing its fundamentals were deteriorating and it was about to be delisted. Yet, he held on due to his 'cost basis obsession,' ultimately going to zero with it. 6. Sima Yi: Stayed out of the market for ten years, playing dead. Waited until market liquidity dried up and tokens were dirt cheap, then went all-in on Cao Wei Coin. Compounded gains to the max and became a legend in one move. There are no perpetual winners in the market—only those who survive become kings. Longevity is the only alpha.
