🧵 THREAD: Why Most Crypto Traders Lose Money — And How to Avoid Becoming One of Them 💸📉
1/
Here’s the harsh truth:
👉 Over 80% of crypto traders LOSE money.
Not because crypto is a scam...
But because they treat it like a casino.
Let’s break down why, and how you can play smarter 🧠👇
2/
❌ Mistake #1: Chasing Hype
You see a coin trending.
Green candles everywhere.
Your emotions say, “Buy now or miss out.”
So you ape in.
Result? You’re exit liquidity.
3/
❌ Mistake #2: No Plan
You enter with no entry strategy, no target, no stop loss.
You "hope" it goes up.
Hope is not a strategy.
Discipline is.
4/
❌ Mistake #3: Overtrading
You trade every setup.
You check charts 24/7.
More trades ≠ more profits.
It often means more mistakes.
5/
❌ Mistake #4: Influencer Worship
You trust influencers with zero track record.
Paid shills, meme coins, affiliate rug pulls.
Their gains = your losses.
6/
❌ Mistake #5: Ignoring Risk
You bet 50–100% of your portfolio on one coin.
One bad day wipes you out.
Even pros risk only 1–2% per trade.
7/
✅ Want to win? Do this:
Master risk management
Use TA/FA, not emotions
Journal your trades
Study macro & narratives
Play long-term, not lotto
8/
🔑 Bonus Truth:
The best traders are often the most boring.
They wait.
They watch.
They strike when the odds are stacked.

💬 Final Thought:
Crypto isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme.
It’s a get-disciplined-slowly game.
Treat it with respect—or it will destroy you.
