Last year, I entered the crypto world when BTC broke above 85k. Everything was pumping — meme coins, alts, even tokens I had never heard of. I rushed in, thinking the bull run would last forever.
I bought several meme tokens and new coins, believing they’d "go to the moon." But guess what?
The market reversed immediately after.
Some of those tokens dipped 70–90%.
Some got delisted, and I lost everything I put in them.
I told myself, "It's okay, I'm in spot — it will come back."
But it didn’t. And that’s the mistake many beginners make — they hold onto hope instead of acting with strategy.
🚨 So here’s what I wish someone told me before I lost my money:
✅ Stick to strong tokens only:
Trade only BTC, and at most ETH, BNB, or SOL.
Leave meme coins and unknown tokens to gamblers — they pump fast but dump even faster.
✅ Always take profits:
Don’t be greedy. Set targets — 5%, 10%, 20%. If you don’t take profit, the market will take it from you.
✅ Don’t go all in:
Never put all your capital in one token. You need cash aside to buy dips or escape if the trade goes wrong.
✅ Avoid new listings:
New tokens often pump briefly and then lose momentum. Most never recover. Don’t chase the hype.
✅ Don’t rely on hope:
Spot trading is not a safety net. If the token crashes and never comes back, you’ll be stuck for years or even forever.
✅ Watch BTC, not just your coin:
When BTC reverses, everything else crashes harder. Don’t trade against the trend. Protect your capital.
✍️ My advice from experience:
Learn from those of us who rushed in, lost, and stayed stuck while others moved on. You can still succeed — but only if you trade smart, not emotionally.
When BTC pumps like now, it’s easy to think the market will never dip again — but it always does.
Prepare before it comes.
Trade safe, stay sharp, and don’t let hype steal your future.
