At first, I knew nothing.
I saw Bitcoin as a lottery ticket. I heard phrases like "HODL", "To the moon", "the bull run is coming", and I thought I just had to buy and wait.
But wait for what?
I didn't know how to read a chart. I panicked at every drop. I felt stupid when it went up without me, or when I sold too early.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands: I started trading. For real.
For a year, I breathed Bitcoin. Every day.
đ I opened charts.
đ I took training courses.
âïž I took notes.
đ€ I experienced frustration.
đ€Ż I doubted.
But I kept going.
And today, I want to share with you what I really learned. Not the promises. Not the slogans. Just the truth of a beginner trader turned passionate.
đ„ Lesson 1: You don't win because you trade. You win because you wait for the right moment.
Before, I thought you had to "be active" to win.
But I understood that true power is patience.
Waiting for the precise moment.
The one where the market gives you a clear opportunity.
The silence between two trades is where the magic is prepared.
đ„ Lesson 2: The market is not your enemy. Your ego is.
The number of times I lost just to "be right"...
You might recognize yourself.
đ "I'm sure it's going to go up, I'm going to enter now."
đ "I'm not going to set a stop, it's going to bounce..."
đ "I'm going to make up for this trade..."
No.
The market doesn't care about you.
And you win the day you realize it.
đ„ Lesson 3: It's not the money that changes, it's you.
I thought that by winning, I would be happy. But I discovered something else:
> It's the journey that changed me.
My view of time.
My way of managing stress.
My relationship with risk.
Trading is facing yourself. Every day.
đŹ And now?
Am I rich? No.
But am I freer? Yes.
Free to understand what is happening.
Free from no longer enduring the markets.
Free to choose when to act, and when to wait.
And that is priceless.
đ€ If you had to remember one thing...
> Don't try to dominate the market.
Learn to listen to it.
And above all, learn to know yourself.
Because ultimately, the biggest trade you will make is always against yourself.
