A Friend’s Hard-Learned Crypto Advice
I Lost Big — Then Everything Changed
Let’s be honest — I started off in crypto the same way many people do.
I was brand new, excited, and chasing those quick 3x, 5x, even 10x wins.
Every signal? I jumped in. Every pump? Total FOMO.
And guess what? My portfolio suffered hard.
I wasn’t really investing — I was just gambling.
Eventually, I hit a wall and had to admit:
“This can’t keep going like this.”
Here’s What Helped Me Turn It Around:
1. I Rebuilt My Portfolio
50% in $BTC & $ETH — strong, reliable base
30% in solid infrastructure altcoins
20% in smaller, high-risk plays (with tight limits)
I stopped getting emotionally attached to coins. I set clear goals, took profits when needed, and always focused on protecting my capital.
2. I Changed My Mindset
No more endless hours in hype-filled chats
I created plans like: “If it hits X, I’ll sell Y.”
I put discipline ahead of emotions — always
3. I Started Learning the Right Way
Got into technical analysis basics
Researched teams, read whitepapers, studied fundamentals
I quit chasing hype and focused on gaining real knowledge
Here’s My Straight-Up Strategy for You:
First rule: protect your capital — survival matters most
Diversify — don’t throw everything into the newest trend
Don’t chase after coins that already pumped
BTC and ETH should be your core
Be patient — time is one of your biggest advantages
I’ve taken some heavy losses.
But I bounced back — and you can too.
The moment I accepted that losses are part of the journey, I became a true investor.
Stay sharp. Stay focused. You’ve got this.
