I thought I came to crypto to escape the 9–5. To make fast money. To maybe even get “rich.”

But instead, I learned how to fail gracefully.

I learned what it feels like to trust the wrong hype. To misread charts. To panic sell at the worst moment.

And weirdly… that’s made me a better mom.

Because now when my kid messes up, I don’t yell. I get it. I know how it feels to try really hard and still fall on your face.

Crypto taught me that losses don’t define you — what you do next does. And I think that lesson might be more valuable than any bag I’ve ever held.
