Why People Lose Money in Crypto (PART 1)

After watching countless traders blow up accounts, I've identified the core mistakes that separate winners from losers. These aren't just tactical errors - they're fundamental misunderstandings of how markets actually work:

The Fatal Flaws:

1. Fighting Market Demand
Most traders obsess over "buying low" without asking WHY the price is low. Often, low prices signal weakness, not opportunity.

Reality check: Projects pump because people want to buy them. When $BTC was "expensive" at $50K, everyone waited for $30K. It went to $100K instead.

The lesson: Sometimes expensive things get more expensive. Don't fade strength just because you missed the bottom.

2. Chasing Beta Instead of Alpha
Real money is made in 1/1 projects - assets with clear use cases, strong moats, and little competition. Think early position in dominant platforms before they become obvious.

Example: While everyone chased memecoin of the week, the smart money was accumulating unique infrastructure plays that later became sector leaders.

This is why I track pre-launch projects like #DALPY - getting in before the crowd recognizes quality can provide the best risk-adjusted returns.

Key insight: When demand concentrates on truly differentiated projects, that's where you see life-changing moves.

3. Crystal Ball Syndrome
Too many traders try to predict future demand instead of recognizing present demand. Yes, fundamental analysis matters, but the market usually gives hints first.

Watch for: New uptrends, rising volume, smart money accumulation. Price action often leads narratives, not the other way around.

The hardest truth? Most losses come from fighting what's actually happening instead of adapting to market reality.

Part 2 reveals the psychological traps that amplify these mistakes.
