🔥 THE TRUTH NO ONE TELLS YOU: "You only lose if you sell" — It’s A LIE! 🚫📉
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was browsing Twitter when I saw a post from someone claiming to have turned R$500 into R$50,000 with cryptocurrencies.
I thought: "It’s now or never."
I created an account on an exchange, deposited what I had available, and started investing.
Without study, without strategy, just following influencers and Telegram groups promising "coins that will explode."
At first, it felt like magic. In just a few days, my capital doubled.
I thought I was a genius. I began dreaming of a new car, financial freedom, quitting my job…
But then reality hit.
The market turned. Suddenly, everything started to drop.
Frightened, I sought advice. The phrase I heard the most was:
"Calm down, you only lose if you sell."
And I believed it.
I watched my portfolio's value melt away for weeks, hoping for a recovery.
Guess what? It never came.
Time passed, projects disappeared, and the coins turned to dust.
Here’s the truth:
Waiting forever is not a strategy. It’s refusing to accept loss and making the situation worse.
If I had set limits, used stop-loss, and sought knowledge before investing, everything would have been different.
But not everything was in vain.
This crash forced me to study. I learned about technical analysis, emotional control, and risk management.
Today I invest with awareness, not based on empty promises.
What this crash taught me:
✔️ Catchphrases do not protect your capital. Strategy does.
✔️ Stop-loss is not weakness — it’s intelligence.
✔️ There is no guaranteed profit.
✔️ Financial education is worth more than any "hot coin" tip.
✔️ Your decisions are worth more than any influencer.
⚠️ This is not financial advice. Do your own research.
