Eveil admits he isn't grinding in the trenches every single day, even though his track record speaks for itself. He insists that a lot of the actual alpha comes from outside the crypto bubble entirely. TikTok serves as his early alert system for style shifts and event news before they hit mainstream feeds. But it's not just scrolling; he actively participates in general public social interactions daily because those non-crypto conversations carry positive expected value for trading. To validate if a trend is truly viral, he asks his wife if she has seen it yet. If she says no and he knows it should be everywhere, he figures the trend hasn't hit her algorithm yet. Then he pivots to asking his in-laws or a coworker if they have seen this before. It all becomes part of everyday conversation rather than some isolated research loop. This approach relies on checking if close contacts have actually encountered the phenomenon as a proxy for broader adoption.
