Most people evaluate crypto like they evaluate stocks. That's why most people lose money in crypto.

After years in digital asset markets, here are the 3 mental models that actually matter:

1. Token Economics > Token Price

Price is what you pay, value is what you get. Before you look at a chart, understand the emission schedule, the treasury structure, and who actually benefits from protocol revenue. If you can't explain where the yield comes from, you ARE the yield.

2. Regime Awareness

Crypto doesn't move in isolation — it moves in regimes. Liquidity expansion, contraction, regulatory shifts, and geopolitical events create distinct market environments. The strategy that works in one regime will destroy you in another. Identify the regime before picking the trade.

3. Portfolio Construction > Individual Picks

The best investors I know spend 80% of their time on position sizing and correlation, not on finding the next 100x. A concentrated bet on one L1 is not a portfolio — it's a prayer. Diversify across risk profiles, not just across tokens.

These frameworks guide everything we discuss inside the Mr Man community. If this resonates, the door's open.
