The golden rule of cryptocurrency is:
Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Because crypto markets are highly volatile, this one rule protects you more than any technical strategy.
A few closely related “golden rules” many experienced crypto investors follow:
🔐 Not your keys, not your coins – keep long-term holdings in wallets you control.
📉 Don’t chase hype or FOMO – if everyone is screaming “buy,” risk is usually highest.
🧠 Do your own research (DYOR) – understand the project, use case, and risks.
🧮 Manage risk, not just profits – position sizing matters more than picking winners.
⏳ Have a plan before you buy – entry, exit, and time horizon.
