‼️🚨 3 Crypto Lessons I Learned the Hard Way (So You Don’t Have To)
Getting into crypto is exciting — but it’s not all moonshots and millionaires. I’ve made my fair share of painful mistakes, and here are the top three that cost me the most early on 👇
❌ Mistake #1: Buying from FOMO
Back then, anytime I saw a green candle or heard someone shout “It’s pumping!” on Twitter or TikTok, I’d dive in.
Spoiler: I was always late and usually bought the top.
🔁 Lesson: Hype is usually lagging. Now, I stick to my strategy, do proper research, and wait for solid entries — not emotional ones.
❌ Mistake #2: Ignoring Gas Fees
I once sent $20 worth of a token… and paid $48 in gas. Yes, it hurt 😩
🔁 Lesson: Always check transaction fees, especially on Ethereum. These days, I use low-fee chains and layer 2s whenever I can.
❌ Mistake #3: Holding Too Long
I turned $40 into $320 on a meme coin. Instead of taking profits, I waited for it to 10x more. It rugged and dropped to $5.
🔁 Lesson: Secure your wins. Even just cashing out 20–30% on the way up can make a big difference.
✅ What I Do Now
• Use stop-losses to manage risk
• Review my portfolio weekly
• Focus on real utility projects
• Think long-term — years, not days
