The crypto space is full of opportunities—but also full of landmines. As someone who started out with more excitement than strategy, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes. Luckily, I’ve learned from them. So here are 3 major crypto mistakes I made—and how you can avoid them.
1. Chasing Pumps Without Research
When I saw coins pumping 50%+ in a day, I used to FOMO in—without even checking the project. Guess what happened? I bought the top and watched it crash.
Lesson: Hype fades. Fundamentals last. Always check the project’s use case, team, and tokenomics before investing.
2. Ignoring Security
I used to leave everything on exchanges without 2FA, thinking, “I’m too small to be hacked.” That mindset is dangerous. One phishing attempt later, I got lucky—but it was a wake-up call.
Lesson: Use strong passwords, enable 2FA, and consider a cold wallet if you’re holding long-term.
3. Trying to Get Rich Overnight
In the beginning, I wanted fast profits. I over-traded, jumped from coin to coin, and followed random Telegram “signals.” My portfolio didn’t grow—my stress did.
Lesson: Patience pays. Long-term investing in quality projects often outperforms constant trading.
Final Thoughts
Crypto is a powerful space—but only if you treat it with the respect it deserves. Learn from those ahead of you, take your time, and stay updated. I’m still learning every day, and through Write2Earn, I get to share that journey with you all.
