#TradingPairs101 I stored my seed phrase in my phone’s Notes app (yes, seriously). I clicked suspicious links. I nearly connected my wallet to a fake DEX.

Now I treat my wallet like a vault. Cold storage. No DMs. Triple-check URLs. Because in crypto, there’s no reset button — just regrets.

Mistake #3? Trading with emotion, not strategy. I chased pumps. I bought breakouts without confirmation. I got liquidated once because I forgot to use a stop-loss. Now I only trade what I understand — and if it pumps without me, I clap from the sidelines.

But none of that stuck until I learned how to read charts properly. I used to just stare at red and green candles like they were lottery tickets. Now I see patterns, volume shifts, and where retail traders are about to panic or FOMO.
