🔥 The mistake that cost me 1,000 USDT (and that you can avoid)
I'm going to tell you something that I don't usually share: one of my worst plays in crypto.
It's not easy to admit it, but if it helps you not to go through the same, it's worth it.
It was 2023, and I had been holding an altcoin that I loved. I had researched, read the whitepaper, looked at its community... everything looked good. But there came a week when the market turned ugly: Twitter was full of people saying a crash was coming, Telegram groups were exploding with panic, and I was watching the price drop with a couple of red candles in a row. Fear got the best of me.
I sold everything with a +15% profit and thought: “Well, at least I didn't lose.”
A month later, that same coin was x3.
I did the math: if I hadn't sold, I would have 1,000 USDT more in my wallet.
That feeling of watching your investment slip away while you can do nothing... it hurts.
💡 What I learned from this blow:
• Invest with a plan: know when you are going to sell, and why.
• Don't follow the herd: social media in panic is poison for your decisions.
• Patience kills FOMO: if you believe in the project, don't be scared by temporary drops.
In crypto, sometimes your worst enemy is your own fear. Today, every time I'm tempted to sell out of panic, I remember those 1,000 USDT and take a deep breath.
