🚨 3 Costly Crypto Mistakes I Learned the Hard Way — So You Don’t Have To 📚
We all make mistakes — but in crypto, they can be expensive. Here are 3 lessons I had to learn the hard way (so you don’t have to repeat them):
⚠️ Mistake #1: FOMO Buying
I jumped into trades just because prices were pumping. The result? Buying the top and watching it crash.
💡 Lesson: Never chase green candles. Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research), wait for healthy corrections, and don’t fall for the hype.
⛽ Mistake #2: Ignoring Gas Fees
There was a time I spent more on Ethereum gas fees than the token I was buying. Rookie move.
💡 Lesson: Always check gas costs before making a transaction. Explore more affordable chains like BSC or Polygon.
💰 Mistake #3: Not Taking Profits
I held on too long thinking the rally would never end — and watched my gains evaporate.
💡 Lesson: Take partial profits on the way up. Even 20% off the table is better than 0% if the market reverses.
🔄 What I Do Differently Now:
✅ Set stop-losses to protect my capital
✅ Monitor my portfolio weekly (at minimum)
✅ Only invest in projects with real utility & strong fundamentals
✅ Stay focused on long-term growth, not quick wins
