The first time I put money into crypto, I lost €1,200 in less than 48 hours.

I didn't read. I didn't ask anyone. I had no clue what a project was, what a network was — nothing. I just bought because "everyone said it was going to the moon."

And it crashed. Hard.

It hurt, not gonna lie. But that loss taught me more than any course or book ever could.

I learned to research, to ask questions, to be skeptical of anything that sounds too good to be true.

Today, if I don't understand where I'm putting my money, I don't invest a single cent.

Have you learned the hard way too? Tell me.
