I want to open up about something very personal...

Not long ago, I saw a crypto mooning on Binance. It was flying! 🚀

I thought, “This is it! My golden chance!”

In a rush of excitement, I sold some of my other holdings and went all in—right at the top.

Big mistake.


💔 What followed was a nightmare:

Within 2 hours, the coin crashed 50%. My portfolio was in free fall.

I panicked and sold everything at a huge loss.

I felt like a complete fool. It was devastating.


But out of that painful moment came the most important lesson I've learned:



Never chase FOMO. Never try to guess the top.



🚨 The FOMO Trap – And How It Destroys Portfolios:


This is how it usually goes (I learned the hard way):



  2. Massive Pump: You see a coin jump 50–100% in a day.


  4. Euphoria Kicks In: You feel like you're missing out.


  6. You Buy at the Top: Right as early buyers start taking profits.


  8. The Crash Follows: Price dumps... and you're left holding heavy bags.



🧠 The Lesson That Can Save You – My Anti-FOMO Strategy:



  • ❌ Don’t Buy Big Green Candles:

    If it looks like a rocket, it's probably too late.


  • 📝 Have a Plan BEFORE You Buy:


    • Why am I buying this? (Fundamentals)


    • When will I take profits? 📈


    • Where is my stop-loss? 📉


  • 🧘‍♂️ Control Your Emotions:

    If you're feeling emotional, step away from the screen.


  • 🕰️ Practice Patience:

    Opportunities come and go. Better to miss one than blow up your capital.


  • 💵 Use DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging):

    Spread out your investments over time. It protects you from buying the top.



💡 Let my pain be your protection. This mistake cost me a lot, but it taught me even more.
