Crypto – for me – is like the ocean.
Big waves = profit.
Undercurrents = risk.
The strange thing is: most people only watch the big waves.
Few are willing to look down.

Have you ever wondered why people like to gamble?
Not because they like losing money.
But because of the thrill of facing the uncertain.
But investing is not gambling.
It is the art of measuring uncertainty.
Turn risks into allies, rather than seeing them as enemies.
Most newcomers to crypto make one mistake:
They choose extremely cheap tokens with dreams of x1000.
I don't blame.
Each of us has dreamed of a quick wealth.
But dreams are not the problem.
The problem is blindness.
You can't stand still on the shore and hope to ride the waves.
Not learning how to swim, sooner or later you'll sink.

To survive, you must face risks.
Look straight.
Name it.
Classify.
What game are you playing?
Bitcoin? Ethereum? Or a newly launched altcoin from yesterday?
Each asset is a different ship:
Bitcoin is like a container ship: slow, heavy, but hard to capsize.
Ethereum is like a cruise ship: faster, still stable.
Altcoins are like speedboats: powerful – and easy to capsize.
Which ship are you on?
And have you learned how to steer?

Investing is not for the most reckless.
It is for those who know how to defend the best.
Warren Buffett did not get rich by being the most reckless.
He bets selectively – only when the odds are in his favor.
Defense is not flashy.
But it is what keeps you alive.
You can't race if you don't have brakes.
Good brakes = surviving tight corners.
In crypto, brakes are:
Clear stop-loss point.
Reasonable capital allocation.
A portion of assets is always preserved.
But...
The biggest risk is not outside the market.
It lies within your mind.
The market is always volatile.
That's its nature.
The thing that makes you lose heavily is not a falling price.
But rather uncontrolled emotions.
Greed.
Fear.
Dive in – and then crash.
Then learn to reflect on yourself.
When entering an order, don't just look at the chart.
Take out a piece of paper.
Note:
Why did I enter this order?
How much am I willing to lose if I'm wrong?
When will I exit?
Thin paper – but keep your mind steady.
You cannot erase risk.
But you can befriend it.
By:
Look straight.
Measure.
Plan.
And above all – don't panic.
Crypto does not reward the reckless.
It rewards the alert.
The next time you intend to hit the "buy" button, stop.
Ask carefully:
"Am I blindly chasing profit,
or have I prepared well to befriend risk?"
Risk does not disappear.
You just choose:
Make friends.
Or become bait.
