🚨 10 Crypto Mistakes That Cost Me Big — So You Don’t Have To 💸
12 years in crypto. Big wins 💰, brutal losses 💀. These are the scars I earned — and the wisdom you can borrow.
Read this before your next trade. 🧵👇
1. FOMO Buying 😵💫
Bought BTC at $20K in 2017. It crashed to $6K.
📌 Lesson: Buy fear, not hype.
2. Holding Dead Coins 💀
Clung to altcoins that sounded cool… until they vanished.
📌 Lesson: A dying coin isn’t your soulmate. Let it go.
3. No Profit Taking 😬
Watched my portfolio 15x in 2021… took $0 profit.
📌 Lesson: Take profits gradually — don’t get greedy.
4. All-In on One Coin 🔥
Went all-in on hype. It crashed in 3 months.
📌 Lesson: Diversify. AI, DeFi, L1s — spread your bets.
5. Poor Security 🔓
Lost 40% to phishing & scams.
📌 Lesson: Use hardware wallets. 2FA. Trust no link.
6. Blindly Copying Influencers 👀
Followed a “crypto guru” on Twitter. Lost 70%.
📌 Lesson: DYOR — your money, your responsibility.
7. No Exit Strategy 🚪
Always waited for “just a little more.” Lost it all.
📌 Lesson: Set targets. Stick to them.
8. No Stop-Losses 💥
Tried margin trading like a cowboy. Got wrecked.
📌 Lesson: Always use a stop-loss. Risk small.
9. Ignoring the Bigger Picture 🌍
Didn’t adapt to 2022 macro trends — inflation crushed me.
📌 Lesson: Watch global markets. Crypto isn’t in a bubble.
10. Giving Up Too Soon 😞
Sold all BTC at $300 in 2015. Yup.
📌 Lesson: Patience wins. Stay long. Stay sharp.
