👉“From financial genius to my wife's debtor”
In early 2021, my friend invited me:
“Come play Bitcoin, man! Now anyone who doesn't play is really out of it.”
I – with 327k in my account – immediately fell for FOMO. After buying, Bitcoin went up. I smugly laughed:
“Why am I so smart?”
Confidently posted on Facebook:
“Let money work for you.”
The next day, Bitcoin dropped.
I refreshed the chart like I was praying.
Entered the group to ask:
“Should we sell, guys?”
Someone shouted:
“Diamond hand! Hold to the moon!”
I followed… and fell freely along with the coin's value.

Typical F0 mentality:
• When it rises: “I’m a genius!”
• When it drops: “Those big players must be manipulating.”
• When it stays the same: “Why is it stuck? Is something happening?”

In the end, I realized:
“The market doesn’t go down how I want, but the thing that falls the fastest is always… morale.”
Now I still invest, but I’m more cautious.
And I remember well:
“Holding coins is fine, but arguing with my wife is a real disaster.”
