The IMF issues a warning: Crypto assets could threaten global financial stability.
🚨 Is the crypto space under surveillance?
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a warning regarding crypto assets, indicating that they could pose a risk to global financial stability.
According to the IMF, crypto assets, if not managed properly, can lead to excessive valuations, stress in leveraged entities, and disruptions in sovereign bond markets.
🔑 What does this mean for crypto investors?
Global regulations are likely to intensify, and central banks will be more vigilant to intervene if liquidity crises arise.
My reflection:
In a growing crypto world, security and ongoing education are key to navigating these uncertain times.

📊 How to understand the numbers before buying a crypto?
If you're about to make your first purchase, you've surely seen a chart full of figures: current price, volume, highs and lows in 24h… but what do they really mean? Let me explain it simply:
1. Current price This is the last value at which someone bought that crypto. It changes constantly. Don’t buy just because “it’s going up,” that doesn’t always mean it will continue to do so.
2. Highest and lowest price in 24h It tells you the range in which the price moved in the last day. 👉 Example: If the minimum was $1.80 and the maximum $2.10, that means someone bought cheap, and others, more expensive. If you’re close to the highest price… be careful! You might be buying high.
3. Volume in USDT or USD This tells you how much money has moved in that crypto in the last 24 hours. 🔹 High volume: a lot of people are buying and selling. 🔹 Low volume: little interest, you could get stuck if you want to sell later.
4. Volume in the crypto (e.g. 100,000 SOL) How many coins of that token have been traded. Useful to see if there is activity or if it’s very quiet.
5. Recent trend Look at the chart: Is it going up, down, sideways? It’s not to predict the future, but to avoid buying right at the peak.
🧠 Quick tip: Before buying, ask yourself: ✔️ Am I buying high or low? ✔️ Is there enough movement in this crypto? ✔️ Does it make sense to enter now or is it better to wait?
Learning to read these data can save you unnecessary mistakes. You don’t need to be a pro trader, just have some common sense.

💡 First crypto purchase? Keep this in mind before diving in
Buying your first crypto shouldn't be a matter of luck, but of judgment. Here are the key points you should have clear before hitting the “buy” button:
1. Be clear about why you are buying
Is it for the long term? Quick speculation? Without a defined purpose, it’s very easy to make poor decisions. Your goal defines your strategy.
2. Research the minimum necessary
Know what you are putting your money into. What does the project do? Does it have utility, community, backing? You don't need to be an expert, but at least know what you are buying.
3. Evaluate if the current price is favorable
Look at the recent history: Is it more expensive than in recent weeks? Is it in a low zone? Sometimes waiting a few days provides better opportunities.
4. Start with a small and controlled amount
Don’t risk what you are not willing to lose. Your first purchase is more about learning than getting rich. And with what you learn, you can make better decisions later.
5. Never invest without having an exit plan
What will you do if it goes up? And if it goes down? Will you hold or sell at X profit or loss? The market moves quickly and without a plan, chaos takes control.
6. Establish an unbreakable rule from the beginning
Example: “I only invest money that I can afford to lose without affecting my daily life.” That simple rule can protect you more than any technical analysis.
🧠 In summary:
Define your objective → Research the basics → Evaluate the price → Invest little → Have a plan → Follow your personal rule.
This doesn't guarantee you will win, but it does protect you from losing due to ignorance.

💡 Practical example: Investment with $20 in BTC and SOL in April 2024
Prices as of April 21, 2024:
Bitcoin (BTC): $64,940
Solana (SOL): $151.13
1. Initial investment
You decide to invest $10 in BTC and $10 in SOL, spreading your investment to reduce risks.
$10 in BTC: you buy approximately 0.000154 BTC.
$10 in SOL: you buy approximately 0.0661 SOL.
2. Monitoring over time
With the current actual prices (April 21, 2025):
BTC: $85,019
SOL: $136.22
3. Investment results
BTC: 0.000154 BTC x $85,019 = $13.11
SOL: 0.0661 SOL x $136.22 = $9.01
4. Total as of April 21, 2025
$13.11 (BTC) + $9.01 (SOL) = $22.12
5. Total profit
$22.12 - $20 = $2.12
Growth: +12.6%
🧠 Summary of the example:
With an initial investment of $20 in BTC and SOL, you achieved a growth of 12.6% in 12 months. While it is not a spectacular profit, it is a demonstration of how cryptocurrencies can grow over the long term with moderate risk.
Lessons: Realistic growth: Moderate but consistent profits also build wealth.
Diversification: Spreading your investment helps protect you from sharp declines in a single cryptocurrency.
Patience: While some earn quickly, most achieve sustainable results with time and strategy.

🧠 Tiered Selling Strategy with XRP – Real Example 💸
Today I want to share a strategy that I am applying in my portfolio with XRP, using a tiered selling approach to seek a reasonable return of 18%.
🔹 Buy: 9.69 XRP at a price of 2.0865
🔹 Current price: 2.0838
🔹 Overall target: +18%
📊 Tiered strategy
I divide my position into 3 parts to reduce risk and capture profits at different levels:
✅ 30% at +6%:
Sell 2.91 XRP at 2.2117
✅ 30% at +12%:
Sell 2.91 XRP at 2.3369
✅ 40% at +18%:
Sell 3.88 XRP at 2.4621
⚖️ And the Stop Loss?
In this case, I am considering placing a general SL if the price falls by -8%, approximately at 1.9196, to protect capital. Although I am also evaluating closely monitoring manually and adjusting if necessary.
🎯 Why this strategy?
I do not rely on a single price to sell everything.
If the market rises slightly, I still achieve partial profits.
I maintain emotional control and follow a plan.
This is an example based on my own trading. It is not financial advice, everyone should adapt strategies to their risk profile and market outlook.
🔄 Do you also tier your sales or prefer a total exit?
⚠️ Trading is not just about winning, but about protecting your capital.
Example: If you buy Solana (SOL) at $120 and decide to risk only 2% of your capital, placing a stop-loss at $118, you limit your loss to 2%.
Never risk more than 2% of your account on a single trade. This way, you can survive the bad streaks and take advantage of the good ones. Patience is key! ⏳💪
Hello! I share reflections and learnings about crypto and trading to avoid common mistakes. Useful fact: studies indicate that between 70% and 90% of traders lose money. Psychology and discipline make the difference. 🚀 Be careful with that.
Absolutely true. Emotion is one of the most difficult factors to control in trading, which is why it is key to have a clear plan and stick to it even when FOMO hits hard. It's a job where psychology plays an important role. Thank you for sharing it. We will learn together.
