#My Crypto Story: How I Lost My University Fee in Futures Trading 📉
Hey everyone, I want to share a real story about a mistake I made that almost cost me my university education. It was a tough lesson, and I hope it helps someone out there. 🙏
Last year, during my summer break, I worked really hard as a farm laborer. I earned about 60,000 rupees in just over a month. My university fee was already late, and I saw a chance to make some quick cash. I got greedy and thought, "I'll double this money with crypto future trading!" 🤑
I put my money in, full of hope. But in just one week, I lost 20,000 rupees. My stress over the fee got way worse. So, I deposited another 20,000 to try and win back what I lost. Another huge mistake. I lost all of that too, and was left with only $7. 😭
I was in a mess. To get the rest of the money for my fee, I had to sell my share of two goats I owned. I even lied to my family, telling them I needed the money for an online course. Even after that, I was still short by 11,000 rupees. I had to ask so many friends and classmates for help, borrowing small amounts just to pay my fee. It was so humbling. 😔
The biggest lesson I learned from all this is: NEVER trade with money you need for important things. When you're trading with scared or desperate money, you're bound to make rushed and bad decisions. You're not thinking clearly, and you’ll almost certainly lose everything.
Stay safe out there, and remember to only trade what you can afford to lose. If you have a similar story, share it in the comments! Let’s learn from each other. 💬
