But I still made EVERY single mistake along the way
It took me 3 years and millions lost to build these rules.
1/➮
Most people lose not because of lack of talent but because of bad habits
I’ve seen millionaires go broke in one cycle
And broke kids become millionaires by doing the opposite
Here are top crypto mistakes to avoid if you want to survive this market.
2/➮
Don’t build your net worth in just one asset class
Diversifying between 10 altcoins is still one basket
True diversification is across crypto, stables, equities, even real assets
Crypto-only portfolios crash harder and recover slower
3/➮
Stop assuming you’ll sell at the top
Everyone says they will - but only those who sell early ever make it
Tops are rarely clean and always extend longer than you expect
Learn to exit on strength, not on fear
4/➮
Don’t mistake trend for conviction
Just because something is pumping doesn’t mean you “believe” in it
When the narrative ends, the coin will dump 90% no matter how strong your faith is
Respect momentum - but understand it’s temporary
5/➮
Don’t ignore token unlock schedules
A project can have amazing tech and still go to zero if emissions overwhelm demand
Always check vesting cliffs, unlocks, and insider holdings
Supply unlocks destroy price faster than you think
6/➮
Don’t copy trades without knowing the thesis
You can’t hold like a whale if you don’t know why they bought
Blindly following influencers or wallets leads to panic exits
Your strategy must match your conviction level
7/➮
Never underestimate time preference
Most people lose because they try to 10x in 10 days
Instead, aim to 3x in 6 months with solid plays
Less stress, less mistakes, more compound growth
8/➮
Don’t stay in a dying narrative
When VCs leave and volume dies, you should too
New narratives bring new money - old ones become graveyards
Always be rotating between narratives based on attention flow
9/➮
Don’t hold a bag just because you’re down bad
If you wouldn’t buy it now, you shouldn’t hold it either
Your capital is too precious to be stuck in dead plays
Accept the loss, rotate into strength
10/➮
Don’t ignore market structure
Most tokens don’t crash randomly - the signs are always there
Lower highs, fading volume, smart money outflows - trust them
Price doesn’t lie - your bias does
11/➮
Don’t ignore macros
CPI, interest rates, elections - they affect all of crypto
You can be in the right coin at the wrong time and still get wiped out
Zoom out before you zoom in
12/➮
Don’t sell your winners too early
Big gains often come from holding the right asset through volatility
If the thesis is still valid - trim, don’t exit fully
Let your best trades run
13/➮
Don’t avoid stables out of ego
Locking profit is not bearish - it’s risk management
Sitting in stables lets you wait for real setups without stress
Rebuying lower is better than watching your gains bleed out
14/➮
Don’t let one win ruin your discipline
After a 10x, most start yoloing into trash to repeat the high
Protect your capital like you’re broke - especially when you’re up
One mistake can erase a year’s worth of good trades
15/➮
Don’t wait for others to validate your exit
By the time it feels “right” to sell, it’s already too late
Exiting while everyone’s euphoric is lonely, but profitable
If you feel uncertain but profits are large - sell partial
16/➮
Don’t underestimate the cost of overtrading
Most returns are lost from bad re-entries, not bad exits
Fewer, better trades > constant flipping
Let your winners work and be patient
17/➮
Don’t use leverage without full understanding of liquidation mechanics
One wrong wick, and you’re out of the game
It’s not worth losing 100% trying to gain 10%
Unless you’re a pro - don’t touch it
18/➮
Don’t quit just because you’re late
There will always be new narratives, cycles, and chances
Missing one doesn’t mean you missed them all
Build skills, preserve capital, and wait for your moment
19/➮
Surviving is winning in crypto
Make fewer mistakes, take fewer losses, and stay long enough to catch the next wave
The market punishes the reckless but rewards the patient
You don’t need to be perfect - just consistent.
