‼️🚨 3 Crypto Mistakes I Made (So You Don’t Have To)
If you're getting into crypto, hear me out: it’s not all moonshots and Lambos. I made some dumb mistakes early on. Here’s what not to do 👇
❌ Mistake 1: FOMO Buys
I chased every green candle.
Friend: “Buy now before it pumps!”
Me: 🏃💸
I always bought the top.
Lesson ⚡: If it’s trending on TikTok or Twitter, you’re probably late. Do your own research. Wait for pullbacks.
❌ Mistake 2: Ignoring Gas Fees
Tried sending $20 of a coin...
Gas fee: $48 😩
And yes, I paid it.
Lesson ⚡: Always check fees first — especially on Ethereum.
Look into lower-fee chains like Solana, Avalanche, or Layer 2s.
❌ Mistake 3: Not Taking Profits
Turned $40 into $320 with a meme coin.
Held for $1K.
Rug pull. Back to $5. 😶
Lesson ⚡: Take profits on the way up. Even 20% off the top helps you lock in wins.
✅ What I Do Differently Now
Use stop-losses
Track my portfolio weekly
Focus on coins with real-world utility
Think long-term (like years, not hours)
