Expectations Vs Reality in trading! The harsh truth no one tells you 😭😓😓!!!
When I first entered crypto, I believed the hype.
"Crypto will make you a millionaire overnight," they said.
"Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, maybe some Solana or XRP… just HODL and wait."
It all sounded so easy. So promising.
I had dreams—freedom, success, maybe even changing my family’s life.
But reality hit like a cold wave.
I watched charts at 3 a.m., hands shaking, emotions all over the place.
I bought high, sold low. I chased pumps. I held through crashes.
No one tells you how lonely trading can feel.
No one prepares you for the emotional rollercoaster of losing a week’s savings in a single dip.
People post screenshots of their 500% gains on $DOGE or $PEPE.
But they don’t show you the sleepless nights, the anxiety, the moments when you question everything.
This space glorifies wins, but buries the losses.
Truth is—crypto isn’t for everyone.
It demands emotional control, patience, and brutal honesty.
It's not just charts and candles. It's your mental health, your relationships, your self-worth—constantly tested.
I’m still here, still learning, still holding on.
But with a new mindset: not chasing dreams, but building discipline.
To those just starting—please don’t let the noise fool you.
Behind every success story is a silent struggle.
Respect the process. Respect yourself.
