✍ The story "Loss at the Cost of Awareness"

In a café in the city, Marwan sat staring at his phone screen, his hand trembling. Just minutes ago, he lost 80% of his capital in a reckless deal involving a famous cryptocurrency called LUNA.

He had started months earlier as an amateur trader, lured in by the market, entering without a plan, swept along by quick tips and fake groups on Telegram. He thought that profit was just a push of a button. He invested all his money in a "trending" currency, and then it collapsed. The loss made him cry for the first time in years.

That night, he couldn’t sleep. It wasn’t just sadness over the money, but over his pride and blind confidence.

But he didn’t withdraw.

He read about the reasons behind currency crashes, studied risk management, learned to set stop losses, and practiced for months on a demo account. He didn’t trade with real money until he felt he was "thinking like a trader, not a gambler."

After a year, he entered a trade on the currency INJ after deep analysis, entered early, and exited with a plan. The trade gained 300%. The number wasn’t the surprise... but his feeling of control and calm.

Marwan didn’t become a millionaire, but he became wise.

In every meeting with his enthusiastic new friends, he tells them:

  ✍️ The first failure is not the end, but a mirror that reveals who you are.
