#USGovShutdown The biggest trap in crypto is believing you can get rich overnight by chasing “quick money.” Recently, gold has fallen 12% and silver 36%—yet who’s actually paying attention?
A few days back, when gold and silver were surging, I advised buying when no one is watching and selling when the crowd jumps in. Now, even everyday people are rushing in—it’s the perfect moment to step aside.
I started investing in 2017. I’ve seen countless so-called “geniuses” multiply their holdings in bull markets and shout their wins from the rooftops—only to vanish when the market shifted. In crypto, success isn’t about who earns the most in a boom; it’s about who survives the storms.
Most newcomers make money initially, but the excitement of the bull market often drains both their capital and confidence. By the time a true opportunity arrives during a bear market, they’re out of resources and left kicking themselves.
The real winners follow one principle: they seek consensus, not the price swings. The 2017 ICO craze, the 2020 DeFi boom, the 2021 NFT explosion—these weren’t about instant profits. Prices surged because consensus formed. If you focus only on charts and candlesticks, you’ll always be the one holding the bag.
Chasing fast money doesn’t just hurt your wallet—it clouds your judgment. Let go of the gambler’s mindset, discover your real purpose, and you might survive cycles and be ready for the next bull run.
