Expectations Vs Reality in trading! The harsh truth no one tells you đđđ!!!
When I first entered crypto, I believed the hype.
"Crypto will make you a millionaire overnight," they said.
"Buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, maybe some Solana or XRP⌠just HODL and wait."
It all sounded so easy. So promising.
I had dreamsâfreedom, success, maybe even changing my familyâs life.
But reality hit like a cold wave.
I watched charts at 3 a.m., hands shaking, emotions all over the place.
I bought high, sold low. I chased pumps. I held through crashes.
No one tells you how lonely trading can feel.
No one prepares you for the emotional rollercoaster of losing a weekâs savings in a single dip.
People post screenshots of their 500% gains on $DOGE or $PEPE.
But they donât show you the sleepless nights, the anxiety, the moments when you question everything.
This space glorifies wins, but buries the losses.
Truth isâcrypto isnât for everyone.
It demands emotional control, patience, and brutal honesty.
It's not just charts and candles. It's your mental health, your relationships, your self-worthâconstantly tested.
Iâm still here, still learning, still holding on.
But with a new mindset: not chasing dreams, but building discipline.
To those just startingâplease donât let the noise fool you.
Behind every success story is a silent struggle.
Respect the process. Respect yourself.
