Crypto FOMO is real
š My First Month in Crypto Trading: Here's What Iāve Learned (and What You Should Know Too)
Hey everyone!
Iām completely new to the world of crypto. I made my very first trade just a few weeks agoāand what a time to join! Bitcoin is flying past $118,000, Ethereum is back above $3,000, and my feed is full of words like āhalving,ā āETF inflows,ā and ābull cycle.ā
Honestly, it felt overwhelming at first. But Iāve learned a few things along the way that might help other beginners like me .
š 1. Don't FOMO ā but donāt wait forever
When I saw BTC flying up past $100K, my first instinct was to ābuy now or miss out forever.ā But jumping in blindly isn't smart. I realized it's better to:
Watch the market for a few days
Learn basic terms (bullish, resistance, support, )
Start smallālike $10 or $20 just to get used to the trading
š 2. Research before clicking "Buy"
I follow Binanceās blog and crypto YouTubers to understand whatās moving the market. I found out:
Bitcoinās rise is partly due to ETFs and government adoption
Some altcoins rise with BTC, but some just ride the hype
News, policies, and even tweets still affect price
š 3. I started tracking my trades
I use a simple notebook to write:
What I bought, when, and at what price
Why I bought it (news, chart, tip from someone)
What happened after
This helped me see my own patternsāsometimes I was chasing trends too late. Now I think before every trade.
š 4. Keep your coins safe
I didnāt realize how important wallets and security were until I almost clicked a fake Telegram airdrop link š . I now use:
Binance for basic trades
A secure wallet (MetaMask and Trust Wallet are popular)
2FA enabled on all my accounts
š” 5. Final advice: Itās not a race
Everyone shows their gains online, but nobody shows their losses. I remind myself:
Take it slow
Donāt invest what I canāt afford to lose
Keep learning : every market dip or pump is a lesson
TL;DR
Crypto is exciting, especially in 2025's bull market š
Start small, learn daily, and stay safe š
