The 7 Types of Crypto Traders We've All Been (And 6 of Them Were Bad Ideas)

Posted by Chris Corey on June 18, 2026 - 11:59pm


Meet Your Past Self

Somewhere in the blockchain graveyard of your portfolio history lies a version of you that made some... creative decisions. Don't worry — we've been there too. The MCG Crew has catalogued the seven archetypal crypto traders, and we're about to roast all of them. With love.

1. The Diamond Hands Guy

He bought Shib at the peak. He's still holding. He says things like "it's not a loss until you sell" while refreshing CoinGecko every four minutes. His hands are so diamond he hasn't slept since 2021. We salute you, sir.

2. The Technical Analysis Wizard

Six monitors. Three indicators you've never heard of. Draws lines on charts with the confidence of a surgeon and the accuracy of a dart-throwing monkey. "This cup-and-handle pattern is textbook," he says — right before the rug pull.

3. The "I Only Buy Fundamentals" Guy

Spent 40 hours reading a whitepaper. Very thorough. Did deep research. Token is down 80%. The fundamentals remain extremely strong.

4. The Twitter Caller Follower

A guy with a cartoon ape avatar says "100x incoming" and he buys $3,000 worth at 2am. The guy with the cartoon ape is now on a yacht. Location: not Twitter.

5. The DeFi Yield Farmer

Was earning 4,000% APY on a protocol called "RocketMoonFinance." Then the dev team discovered that "exit liquidity" is also a financial product. APY is now 0. Technically still the future — just not his future.

6. The Bitcoin Maximalist

Only holds BTC. Has strong opinions about everything else. Will attend your birthday party but will spend the whole time explaining why your altcoin bags are a moral failing. Statistically, he's outperformed 90% of us. We hate that he's right.

7. The MCG Crew Member

Stays informed. Reads the data. Understands risk. Doesn't bet the mortgage on a coin called "DogeKittyRocketCash." Still gets rekt occasionally — but intelligently rekt. There's a difference. We're here to help you find it.

The Real Point

Every trader in this list has something in common: they were operating on emotion, hype, or a lack of framework. The MCG Crew exists to give you the third option — the structure, the community, and the brutal honesty to trade smarter. Not perfectly. Smarter. That's the whole game.

Not financial advice. DYOR.

Simon Keighley A great reminder that successful investing is usually less about finding the next moonshot and more about having a repeatable process, managing risk, and keeping emotions in check.
