When I started trading crypto, I thought I’d become rich overnight. I followed influencers, chased pumps, and bought green candles. What could go wrong?
A lot. Here's what I learned the hard way
❌ 1. FOMO Trading :
Fear of missing out made me buy at the worst possible times. I entered trades late and exited in panic. FOMO is the enemy of profits.
❌ 2. Ignoring Stop-Losses :
I thought stop-losses were for weak hands. I was wrong. One trade wiped out 40% of my portfolio because I didn’t set a simple limit .
❌ 3. Following Hype Instead of Research :
I chased coins just because they were trending on Twitter or YouTube. Most of them crashed within days. Now, I always DYOR.
❌ 4. Overtrading :
More trades = more profit, right? Nope. I ended up making bad decisions and paying more in fees. Patience is a superpower in crypto.
❌ 5. No Exit Strategy :
I never planned when to sell. I watched my portfolio go up 200% — then crash 80%. Now, I always take profits on the way up.
✅ The Lesson ?
Crypto trading isn’t just about charts. It’s about discipline, mindset, and planning. Mistakes are part of the journey — but you can learn faster by learning from others.
