In 2023, I jumped into crypto during a hype cycle. Without doing proper research, I:

Bought altcoins just because they were “trending”

FOMO'd into tokens shilled on Twitter and Telegram

Didn't understand how stop-loss or market structure works

Result? Within 4 weeks, I had lost ₹25,000 (~$300).

I was frustrated, almost gave up. But instead, I decided to treat it like tuition fees — and I started learning seriously.

Here’s what changed:

I studied basic technical analysis and chart patterns.

I started following educational content on Binance Feed.

I kept a trading journal and tracked every decision.

Today, I’m profitable — not rich — but smarter.

Key Takeaways:

Losses are part of the journey. Learn from them.

Never trade on hype or emotion.

Educate yourself before you invest.

Now I only trade with clear rules and long-term mindset. If you're just starting, take it slow — the market isn’t going anywhere.
