DON'T DO THESE FIVE THINGS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT IN CRYPTO $$
Crypto can be life-changing — but it’s also a brutal battlefield for the careless. If you want to avoid becoming another cautionary tale, never do these five things:
Chasing Hype Without Research
Remember Squid Game Token (SQUID)? It skyrocketed over 45,000% in a week — then collapsed to near zero after the developers vanished. Thousands were trapped because they didn’t even realize they couldn’t sell the token. Hype is noise. DYOR — Deeply. Always.
Ignoring Basic Security
In 2022 alone, hackers stole $3.8 billion in crypto, the highest on record (Chainalysis report). Ronin Network’s $625 million exploit happened because of weak private key management. If you keep your crypto only on exchanges without hardware wallets, you’re playing with fire. Own your keys, own your coins.
Over leveraging Your Positions
Crypto markets can move 20–30% in a single day. In the May 2021 crash, over $8 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated within 24 hours. Margin trading can feel thrilling — until it liquidates your entire portfolio at lightning speed. Risk small, survive long.
Blindly Trusting Influencers
FTX’s collapse wiped out billions of dollars despite glowing endorsements from celebrities and YouTubers. Even "trusted" figures failed to warn investors about the massive risks. Influencers are paid — your losses aren’t their problem.
FOMO and No Exit Strategy
Terra (LUNA) investors held until it was worthless. Why? Greed, hope, and no plan. Always set clear entry and exit points. A realized gain is better than a paper dream.
Bottom Line:
Crypto doesn’t forgive ignorance. Research, protect, plan — and think independently. Your financial freedom depends on it.
