I don't know about the downtrend season yet, but currently at the beginning of the uptrend I had 1000u, now I have cashed out 3000u thanks to alpha and made some gains from previous investments, so in this uptrend I have earned over 8k u.
To share a little, I started playing Crypto in 2020 (when I first lost my job due to the covid pandemic). At that time, I invested nearly 80 million to buy USD and then made some poor investments that nearly wiped me out :))), afterwards I played in a group with friends mainly grinding airdrops for projects, and then invested in coinlist, so I made quite a bit during that time. After that, I cashed out most of it, leaving only around 2000u invested, then crypto crashed, so I had about 1000u left. After that, in 2022, when the pandemic ended, I found a job so I stopped playing crypto. One day, coincidentally, my friends invited me to play alpha again, and I managed to earn as mentioned above :))).
The lessons learned after 5 years of playing crypto are:
- Shouldn't play Futures :))), because I see that coin charts don't follow any rules, easy to pump and easy to dump
- Money that is cashed out is money earned, money not cashed is still not mine
- Shouldn't Fomo with the crowd in groups after seeing them hit a coin (because usually, the opportunities that are heavily invested are quickly sold off right after)
- Play with spare money, if you put all your work and assets into it, you might lose everything (because in crypto, money doesn't generate itself but transfers from one wallet to another)
- I will share more if I remember anything else. Thnk
