Let’s be brutally honest for a second:

Most people lose money in crypto, not because the market is rigged, not because Binance is against them, not because of some secret elite group, but because they don’t know what they’re doing. They’ve been sold the dream.

But they’re playing the game like amateurs in a casino, not operators in a business. If you're sick of getting REKT, read every word of this post.

❌ Mistake #1: Chasing Green Candles Like a Headless Chicken

Every time something pumps 300%, everyone suddenly wants in.

  • They’re not buying value.

  • They’re not buying early.

  • They’re buying the TOP with confidence.

That’s not investing. That’s exit liquidity. If your trade is triggered by a Twitter post or a TikTok from someone with laser eyes, you’re already cooked.

✅ Here's What the Smart Money Does:

  • They track narratives early (before they trend).

  • They stalk VC wallets and on-chain flows.

  • They use tools like LunarCrush or DexTools to smell momentum before it erupts.

❌ Mistake #2: You Have No Trading System (Just Vibes and Hope)

One day, you’re scalping 5m charts. Next day, you’re a long-term HODLer because the trade went against you. Be real, you’re not trading with a strategy. You’re trading with EMOTION. And the market eats emotional traders alive.

✅ Here’s How to Fix It:

  • Pick a simple, repeatable setup. Support/Resistance, Retests, Breakouts, that’s all you need.

  • Track everything in a journal. Wins. Losses. Screenshots.

  • Backtest. If you wouldn’t take the trade 100 times again, you shouldn’t have taken it once.

❌ Mistake #3: You’re Addicted to the Trade Button

Overtrading is the most expensive drug in crypto. You’re not managing capital, you’re scratching an itch.

  • You open positions out of boredom.

  • You close them out of fear.

Then you FOMO back in for revenge. That cycle? It’s bleeding you dry.

✅ Smart Traders Do This Instead:

  • Cap trades. No more than 1–2 quality setups per day.

  • Use alerts. Set it and forget it.

  • Respect your stop loss like it’s gospel. Period.

❌ Mistake #4: You Follow Influencers Who Don’t Even Trade

You trust someone with zero skin in the game. They post flashy screenshots. Cherry-pick wins. Never show drawdowns. And every time you follow their call… you’re left holding the bag.

✅ The Upgrade:

  • Use influencers to generate ideas, not to press the buy button.

  • Build your own bias using on-chain, TA, or narrative tracking.

  • Trade what you understand. Not what looks cool in a thread.

✅ Bonus: The Cold Truth Nobody Tells You

Crypto rewards the boring. The disciplined. The ones who:

  • Log their trades.

  • Sit on their hands.

  • Don’t care about hype.


The people who treat this like a real business, not a dopamine slot machine.

💥 Here’s the Play:

If you’re sick of bleeding capital, here’s the roadmap:

  1. Get clarity on your setup. Stop jumping strategies every week.

  2. Track your trades like a sniper. No more blind shots.

  3. Control your emotions like a professional. Trade the system. Not your mood.

  4. Think in narratives, not just charts. Crypto moves on attention, not just fundamentals.

Final Word:

Most people lose in crypto because they’re unwilling to be brutally honest with themselves.

  • You don’t need another signal group.

  • You don’t need 50 more indicators.

  • You need a process and the guts to stick to it.
