😱 5 Mistakes That Make Beginners Lose Money in Crypto (I Made All 5)

When I first joined the crypto market, I lost over 200 USDT in just a few weeks — mostly due to some foolish mistakes.

If you're just getting started, read this carefully to avoid losing money like I did.

---

❌ 1. Buying coins just because “someone in the group chat said so”

I used to FOMO into coins just because someone hyped them in a Telegram or Facebook group.

I had no idea what the project was about or what the coin even did.

=> Result: Bought the top and panic sold at a loss 😩

---

❌ 2. All-in on a single buy

I dumped all my funds into one entry → even a small dip had me panicking.

I didn’t have a proper plan for DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging).

✅ Now I split my funds into 3–5 parts and buy in zones → much more stable mentally.

---

❌ 3. No Stop Loss

> “It’ll bounce back soon!” – the last words before I blew up my account 😢

Not using stop loss = unlimited risk.

📌 Always set a Stop Loss at a level you're mentally and financially comfortable losing — don’t let your wallet burn to ashes.

---

❌ 4. Using leverage/futures too early

I didn’t even fully understand the market, yet I started playing with leverage like a pro.

Lost 50 USDT in minutes from a 20x futures trade “just to test.”

📌 Tip: Stick with spot trading until you’re solid with risk management.

---

❌ 5. Trusting random “VIP signals” from strangers

I joined a few Telegram groups offering “guaranteed winning signals.”

Guess what?

They shilled me garbage coins I couldn't even sell.

👉 Investing is something you must learn – don’t hand over your money to strangers.

✅ Final thoughts:

> 📌 “In crypto, surviving is already a win.”

Trade with a cool head and a calm heart. You'll go far.
