My Biggest Lesson in Crypto: Stop Looking for the Miracle
Like you, I Lost Money Looking for the "Next 100x". This is What I Did Wrong.
A few months ago, my portfolio was a graveyard of empty promises: BTTC, LUNC, BONK, PENGU... and a long list of "the next big thing" that influencers sold me.
I believed that the path to wealth was finding that meme or that coin before anyone else. I only found losses and frustration.
My mistake was not technical, it was philosophical. I confused speculation with investment. I confused hype with value.
Until I finally opened my eyes and stopped asking myself questions like What is going to go up tomorrow? and started asking:
· "What network is fundamental for the digital future?"
· "What protocol is the undisputed king of its category?"
· "What can I trust to still be here in 5 or 10 years?"
My portfolio today (and for the next 5 years with DCA) is boring, simple, and built on rock:
· 🛡️ $BTC + PAXG (My unmovable base, the inheritance).
· ⚙️ $ETH + SOL (The leading infrastructures where EVERYTHING is built).
· 🧠 $TAO + LINK (The kings of the narratives of the future: AI and data).
It's not sexy. It doesn't promise to make me a millionaire in a week. But it gives me peace and a conviction that I am building wealth, not gambling.
My message for those starting out (or for those still on the hamster wheel):
1. Stop chasing influencers. Chase knowledge.
2. Stop looking for "miracles". Look for infrastructure.
3. Forget the "get rich quick". Embrace DCA and the long term.
The greatest gain was not recovering what was lost, but gaining mental clarity. The peace of knowing that I'm no longer playing the lottery, but investing in the foundations of the future.
