Let's talk about the most honest, ruthless, and unpredictable teacher of modern times. No, it's not Elon Musk, and not even your ex. It's the crypto market.
Every year, thousands of new traders come to exchanges with one goal: to get rich. Quickly. Preferably by next Friday. They hear about X100 on some coin with a name resembling a child’s curse — like 'Shibarium Turbo Alpha Inu V2' — and think: 'Why not?'
Welcome to crypto hell.
There is no pity here. You entered due to FOMO — get ready for a -70%.
Went all-in on a token advertised by a guy in a tin foil hat — now you’re a proud holder of air.
Didn’t set a stop-loss? Congratulations. You are no longer a trader. You are a long-term investor.
TOP mistakes that the smartest pay for.
1. 'I knew it would rise.'
Really? Did you know it would drop by 90% right after your purchase?
Welcome to the club of people who 'almost became millionaires.'
2. 'This trader on Twitter said there would be a pump!'
And then this trader dumped their bags on you and went to watch Netflix. And you were left staring at a red candle as long as your ambitions.
3. 'I didn’t set a stop — I was sure!'
Were you sure? Interesting. And the market is sure that you are a snack.
4. 'I had a good feeling.'
A hunch is great. But you know what’s better? Technical analysis and volumes.
Although no... and that sometimes doesn't help either.
Why mistakes are okay (almost).
Mistakes in crypto are like first love. Painful, humiliating, but it shapes character.
You won't learn to manage capital until you lose it.
You won’t start setting stop-losses until you lose sleep, your deposit, and your cat's respect.
The moral of this blockchain tale.
• Crypto is not a casino. It’s a casino with elements of drama, schizophrenia, and Telegram groups where every second is a genius and every first is a scammer.
• Mistakes are education. Paid education. Very expensive.
• If you survived a -90% drop — you are no longer just a trader. You are a veteran of market wars. That means you have a chance.
And finally...
If you closed a deal at a loss today, remember: somewhere in the world, there is another trader who sold Solana at $20, and is now saving for valerian root.
And while you are learning — the market is watching you and smiling. Not because you are weak. But because it has seen millions like you. Only a few survive.
So don’t worry. Next time, you won’t make the same mistake. You’ll come up with a new one.
