#REVABinanceTGE Why People Lose in Cryptocurrency Trading*
1. *Lack of Education and Understanding*
Many beginners dive into cryptocurrency trading without understanding *technical analysis, market structure, or risk management*.
> *“Don’t invest in something you don’t understand.” – Peter Lynch*
They follow influencers or the hype on social media, buying tokens without knowing the fundamentals of the project.

2. *Emotional Trading*
Fear and greed dominate the crypto space.
- Fear causes traders to *sell too early* or *panic sell during dips*.
- Greed makes them *hold on too long*, chasing unrealistic targets.
> *“In trading, it’s not about how much you make, but how much you don’t lose.” – Bernard Baruch*
---
3. *Lack of Risk Management*
Using *high leverage* or risking too much on a single trade leads to quick losses.
Many ignore the *golden rule*:
> *Never risk more than you can afford to lose.*
Even successful strategies fail without proper risk control.

4. *Following the Crowd (Herd Mentality)*
Traders often buy when prices are high (FOMO) and sell when prices drop (FUD), doing the opposite of smart investing.
> *“Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” – Warren Buffett*
---
5. *Overtrading*
Checking charts 24/7 and entering multiple trades leads to *decision fatigue* and poor judgment.
Sometimes, *the best trade is not trading*.
---
6. *No Trading Plan*
Trading without a clear *entry, exit, and stop-loss plan* is gambling.
> *“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin*
A solid plan helps keep emotions in check and actions logical.

7. *Unrealistic Expectations*
People expect 10x returns overnight. When results don’t match the hype, they give up or make reckless trades trying to "recover".
