‼️🚨 3 Brutal Crypto Mistakes I Wish I Knew Sooner

Getting into crypto? Think it’s all about quick wins and overnight gains? 😅

Trust me — it’s not always sunshine and green candles.

I learned these lessons the hard way. Here are 3 painful mistakes I wish someone had told me earlier… 👇

❌ Mistake #1: FOMO – Buying Everything That Moves

Back in the day, every time a coin pumped, I was the first to jump in, convinced I was about to catch the next big thing.

“Bro, it’s about to explode!” — and I’d dump whatever I had into it.

Result? I ended up buying the top. Every. Single. Time. 📉

⚡Lesson: If it’s trending on TikTok or Twitter, you’re probably late to the party.

Now? I wait, I research, and I buy the dip — not the hype.

❌ Mistake #2: Ignoring Gas Fees (And Crying Later)

Once, I tried sending $20 worth of a token…

Gas fee? $48.

Yes, I paid it. 😭 (Don’t judge me.)

⚡Lesson: Always check the fees, especially on Ethereum.

Now, I stick to cheaper chains like Solana or BNB when possible. Every dollar counts.

❌ Mistake #3: Not Taking Profits When I Should Have

I turned $40 into $320 on a meme coin. I thought I was a genius.

“Let it ride to $1K!” I said.

Next thing I knew? It rug-pulled. Back down to $5. 😶

⚡Lesson: Take. Your. Profits.

Even cashing out 20% on the way up can save you a future meltdown.

✅ What I Do Now (And You Should Too):

Set stop-losses — protect your downside

Track your portfolio weekly — no blind spots

Invest in real utility — not just hype

Think in years, not minutes
