🧵 Here are the painful mistakes I made in crypto (so you don’t have to):

Learn from my scars, not from yours.

👇

1. Chasing Green Candles 🚀🟥

I bought BTC at $20k at the top of 2017..

I saw it drop to $6k.

→ FOMO kills profits.

🎯 Lesson: Buy in fear, sell in greed.

2. Holding Altcoins Until They Turn to Dust 💼💀

I believed in “promising” tokens that disappeared.

→ Without a real product, they die.

💡 Lesson: Don’t get attached. If the fundamentals die, sell.

3. Not Taking Profits 💸🧻

15x turned into 2x because I waited “just a little longer.”

→ Greed destroys gains.

🧠 Lesson: Sell in stages. Realized profit is real profit.

4. All-in on One Coin 🎯💥

I bet everything on a “revolutionary” token.

It collapsed in 3 months.

→ Conviction blindness.

🎯 Lesson: Diversify. DeFi, L1s, AI... never 100% in 1.

5. Ignoring Security 🔓😰

40% of my cryptos disappeared in scams and hacks.

→ Don’t underestimate phishing.

💡 Lesson: Use 2FA, cold wallet, and never click on random links.

6. Copying Influencers 👤📉

I followed calls from a “famous” trader.

→ I lost 70% in a month.

🎯 Lesson: They profit from engagement, not trades. DYOR always.

7. No Exit Plan 🚪🌀

At the peak, I thought: “it will go up a little more.”

→ I lost almost everything.

💡 Lesson: Set exit goals before euphoria hits.

8. Trading Without Stop-Loss 📉💔

I entered leveraged without risk management.

→ I got liquidated.

🎯 Lesson: Use stop-loss. Never risk more than 2% per trade.

9. Ignoring the Macro 🌍📉

In 2022, the Fed was raising interest rates.

I ignored it.

→ Result: losses.

🧠 Lesson: Watch interest rates, inflation, and global liquidity.

10. Giving Up Too Soon 🏃‍♂️⛔

I sold my $BTC at $300 in 2015 thinking it was “over.”

→ The biggest gains go to those who stay.

💡 Lesson: Persist. Learn. Evolve. The game is long.

Final Word 💬

The winners in crypto are not the smartest.

They are the most resilient.

If you are reading this, it’s still early. 🫡
