#Crypto is the new gold rush – but one wrong move can cost you EVERYTHING.

Here are 5 real mistakes that wrecked portfolios – and how YOU can dodge them:

1. Not Taking Profits Early

A trader turned $2,000 into $120,000 during the 2021 bull run...

He waited for "$1 million" – today, it's worth $8,500.

Lesson: Take profits in phases. Don't get greedy.

2. Ignoring Cold Wallets

One guy lost $1.7M in a MetaMask hack.

Fix: Use cold storage for big funds. Ledger or Trezor > Chrome extension.

3. Buying the Hype

$PEPE? $DOGE? $SHIB? Great... until you’re the last buyer.

Rule: If TikTok is pumping it, you're already late.

4. Falling for Fake Airdrops

Scammers are targeting wallets with fake “You won!” airdrops.

Always double-check URLs and never sign random transactions.

5. FOMO-Investing Without Research

Just because your friend made 3x doesn’t mean you will.
