Read this before you make them 👇
1. Chased Green Candles
Bought BTC at $20K (Dec 2017)...
Watched it bleed to $6K.
FOMO is expensive.
➡️ Buy fear. Sell greed.
2. Held Bags to Oblivion
Thought I was “early” on gems.
Turns out I was early to the funeral.
➡️ No use case = No future.
Don’t marry your coins.
3. Didn’t Take Profits
My 15x turned into 2x in 2021.
Greed whispered: "Wait a little more…”
➡️ Take profits in levels.
No one regrets booking gains.
4. All-In On One Token
Believed in a “revolutionary” coin.
3 months later? Rug pulled.
➡️ Diversify. Don’t bet the farm.
DeFi, AI, L1s — spread the risk.
5. Ignored Security
Lost 40% to hacks & phishing.
It wasn’t a bad trade — it was theft.
➡️ Hardware wallets. 2FA. No sketchy links.
Self-custody = survival.
6. Followed Influencers Blindly
Copied a “top trader” from Twitter.
Lost 70% in 30 days.
➡️ Most sell you dreams, not results.
Learn your own strategy. DYOR.
7. Had No Exit Plan
Bull runs came… and went.
Each time, I told myself: “Just a little higher.”
➡️ Have a plan before the pump.
Greed has no off switch.
8. No Stop-Losses
Tried leverage with no risk control.
Liquidated faster than I could blink.
➡️ Never risk more than 2% per trade.
Leverage ≠ Lottery.
9. Ignored Macro Trends
Rates were rising. Liquidity was dying.
I was still buying altcoins... clueless.
➡️ Watch the Fed. Watch liquidity.
Macro drives markets.
10. Quit Too Soon
Sold ALL my BTC at $300 in 2015.
Thought it was dead.
➡️ Biggest gains go to the most patient.
Crypto rewards the stubborn.
Final Word:
The best traders aren’t the smartest — they’re the ones who stay in the game.
Fall. Learn. Evolve. Repeat.
You're still early. Stay dangerous.

Save it. Study it. Live it.
