Started with a junior trader recently who's picking up quick. Turns out the basics really do matter—could call it Trading 101 level stuff. I've been at this for three decades, racked up plenty of seat time through different market cycles. For anyone just getting their feet wet in trading: don't overlook what you've already got access to. Your existing resources are often enough to learn and grow. Focus on fundamentals before chasing the complex plays.

Foundation is easy to talk about but hard to do; few can truly dedicate three to five years to it.

The foundation is truly incredible; so many people fall into the trap of thinking they can reach the top in one step.

Solid fundamentals can really save lives; so many people die because of flashy but ineffective strategies.

Fundamentals are the key, I've heard this phrase over 30 years ago.

A solid foundation can really save you a lot of detours. I just suffered from not honing my basic skills.

ngl this hits different, like... you're literally describing proof-of-fundamentals before you go all-in on the fancy tokenomics, yeah? 30 years of seat time is basically the ultimate farm-to-fork verification for trading knowledge. respect.
