From an 80% loss to making my first $10,000… A trader's story who learned the hard way!
---
In mid-2023, "Karim" started trading in the cryptocurrency market after hearing about huge profits from a friend. He jumped straight into meme coins like $DOGE and $SHIB, making quick profits… but without a plan.
In just two weeks, his portfolio went from 1,000$ to $4,000. His overconfidence led him to invest everything he had in $PEPE at a false peak.
In 10 days, he lost 80% of his capital.
Instead of giving up, he decided to actually learn:
He studied technical and fundamental analysis
He learned about capital management
He started using stop-loss orders
He followed market news and projects on his own
After 6 months of discipline and patience, Karim returned to build his portfolio from 500$ and reached his first actual profit of 10,000$ in less than a year.

The lesson:
> The market does not forgive false confidence, but it rewards patience and knowledge.
The most important asset you own in trading: it's not money… but mindset and discipline.
