I’ve been in crypto for more than 7 years...
Here’s 12 brutal mistakes I made (so you don’t have to))
Lesson 1: Chasing pumps is a tax on impatience
Every time I rushed into a coin just because it was pumping, I ended up losing.
You’re not early.
You’re someone else's exit.
Lesson 2: Most coins die quietly
Most tokens don’t crash — they just slowly fade away.
No big news. Just less trading, fewer updates... until they’re worthless.
Lesson 3: Stories beat tech
I used to back projects with amazing tech.
The market backed the ones with the best story.
The best product doesn’t always win — the best narrative usually does.
Lesson 4: Liquidity is key
If you can't sell your token easily, it doesn’t matter how high it goes.
It might show a 10x gain, but if you can’t cash out, it’s worthless.
Liquidity = freedom.
Lesson 5: Most people quit too soon
Crypto messes with your emotions.
People buy the top, panic sell at the bottom, and then watch the market recover without them.
If you stick around, you give yourself a real chance to win.
Lesson 6: Take security seriously
- I’ve been SIM-swapped.
- I’ve been phished.
- I’ve lost wallets.
Lesson 7: Don’t trade everything
Sometimes, the best move is to do nothing.
Holding strong projects beats chasing every pump.
Traders make the exchanges rich. Patient holders build wealth.
Lesson 8: Regulation is coming
Governments move slow — but when they act, they hit hard.
Lots of “freedom tokens” I used to hold are now banned or delisted.
Plan for the future — not just for hype.
Lesson 9: Communities are everything
A good dev team is great.
But a passionate community? That’s what makes projects last.
I learned to never underestimate the power of memes and culture.
Lesson 10: 100x opportunities don’t last long
By the time everyone’s talking about a coin — it’s too late.
Big gains come from spotting things early, then holding through the noise.
There are no shortcuts.
Lesson 11: Bear markets are where winners are made
The best time to build and learn is when nobody else is paying attention.
That’s when I made my best moves.
If you're emotional, you’ll get used as someone else's exit.
Lesson 12: Don’t risk everything
I’ve seen people lose everything on one bad trade.
No matter how sure something seems — don’t bet the house.
Play the long game with money you can afford to wait on.
7 years.
Countless mistakes.
Hard lessons.
If even one of these helps you avoid a costly mistake, then it was worth sharing.
