Did you see this circus? 😅

The market went down — and it started: screams, panic, someone sold at the bottom, someone seriously thought that Bitcoin would die.

I looked at all this and thought: 'Are you serious?'

And then... I almost lost it too. 🙃

Well, alright, I collected myself, caught my breath, drew conclusions. I'm sharing with you. No tears. From the first person. 💼

1. Don't panic. Ever.

Panic is when you hit 'sell', then change your mind, then sell again.

Congratulations — you lost in the negative. 😭

A cool head rules. Even if everything is burning — breathe out and think:

Where did I mess up? What did I buy? Why? And is it worth freaking out like a TikTok blogger on a date?

2. Futures? No, thank you.

Do you want to feel like a victim?

Open futures.

Seriously. There, whales will devour you, spit you out, and devour you again — just for fun.

📉 Margin call? It happened. I don't want to repeat it.

Leave futures to those who go to the casino not for winning, but for the pain.

3. Stop whining about the market.

Yes, I also blamed everyone at first.

Bitcoin is to blame. The Elliots are to blame. The news is to blame.

And then I realized: this is my money and my mistakes.

❗ Want to become a grown-up trader? Start taking responsibility.

4. Without a plan — you are meat.

The market is not a kiddie pool. You can't just swim around.

If you don't know why you're entering — you've already lost.

You need a plan. Even if it's dumb — it's better than 'I bought because Twitter said so'. 🤦‍♂️

5. Learn. On small amounts. From your mistakes.

I started with $50. I lost. I got angry. I learned.

I'm currently making x2 – because I know what I'm doing.

📌 Until you learn — don't go into battle with a cardboard sword.

💡 Test strategies, read a couple of books, talk to someone who knows.

Don't be 'that guy' who says: 'What’s the big deal, I know everything already.'

💬 The moral of this story:

Trading is not about 'catching the wave'. It's about patience, discipline, and a bunch of personal failures.

And if someone says it's all simple — they probably want to sell you a course for 1000 bucks.

🖖 Okay, that's enough philosophy for today.

If at least something resonated with you — I'm glad.

If not — well, that's experience too.

But at least you won't say you weren't warned.
