Your money does not come from buying on the day of the pump... On the day of the pump, you’re not even able to build a large enough position to score a worthwhile profit.

In crypto, your money comes from front running “the herd” (amateurs, unskilled traders, outsiders etc.)

You have to be intelligent enough to know what these unskilled players want to buy, before they themselves know what they want to buy – this will enable you to constantly beat them to the punch by SEVERAL days, weeks or months
