I have been in the crypto market for over 6 years... These are the painful mistakes I made so you don't have to experience them 🧵

Learn from my scars, don't let your body suffer that pain. 🧠

1. Follow the Green Candle

I bought BTC at 20,000 USD, then watched it drop to 6,000 USD.

→ FOMO is the biggest enemy. The market rewards patience, not chasing news or hype.

Lesson: Buy when others are scared, sell when others are greedy. Always remember this principle.

2. Hold Until It Hits 0 💼

I used to hold “promising” altcoins until they completely disappeared.

→ Projects without a real use case or weak dev teams will fade over time.

Lesson: Don’t fall in love with your coin. When the fundamentals die, your position should disappear too.

3. Don't Take Profit 💸

I witnessed a 15x profit turn into 2x in 2021 because I was “waiting for more.”

→ Greed clouds judgment.

Lesson: Take profits in stages. No one goes bankrupt after protecting profits.

4. Put Everything Into One Coin 🎯

I once went all-in on a “breakthrough” token. 3 months later, it rug pulled.

→ Overconfidence leads to disaster.

Lesson: Diversify across sectors — DeFi, Layer 1, AI… Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

5. Ignore Security 🔓

I lost 40% of my assets due to exchange hacks and phishing.

→ The worst pain is not losing in trading, but being stolen from.

Lesson: Use cold wallets (Ledger, Trezor), enable 2FA, and don’t click suspicious links.

6. Copy Trading From Influencers 📉

I followed a “top trader” on Twitter, lost 70% of my assets in 1 month.

→ Most influencers profit from followers, not from trading.

Lesson: Learn TA, fundamentals, strategy. Always DYOR.

7. No Exit Plan 🌀

In every bull run, I always think “just a little bit more.” The result is losing almost everything.

→ No plan, emotions take over.

Lesson: Set price targets or withdrawal ratios in advance.

8. Trading Without Stop-loss 💔

I tried margin trading without risk management → got liquidated.

→ Leverage is a double-edged sword.

Lesson: Always use stop-loss and only risk <2% of capital per trade.

I did not sell BTC at the beginning of 2022, even though interest rates rose sharply.

→ Macro affects crypto more than you think.

Lesson: Monitor Fed rate, inflation, global liquidity.

10. Give Up Too Soon ⛔

In 2020, I sold all BTC at 4,900 USD because I thought “it’s over.”

→ Big profits come to the persistent.

Lesson: Don’t give up. Learn, adapt, survive, and grow.

Final Words 💬

  • The best in crypto are not the smartest, but the most resilient.
