It was supposed to be a quick trade.
Charts looked good. People were bullish.
I felt confident.
I clicked "buy" and watched the chart fall like a rock.
No stop-loss. No plan. Just panic.
Ten minutes later: minus $400.
That’s grocery money. That’s rent. That’s pain.
I felt stupid. I wanted to delete every app.
But I didn’t.
I sat there, staring at the red, letting it teach me something.
Crypto isn’t easy. It’s fast, emotional, and ruthless.
But if I can survive this —
I can survive the next one.
Mistakes hurt, but quitting hurts more.
