In 7 years of crypto, I’ve seen it all big wins and brutal crashes.
I witnessed the collapse of Luna, Gala, and etc, but I also made money on ICO Meta, bull runs and memecoins.
This is the real story of my journey, how I went from $0 to success.
Here I’ve shared the mistakes that knocked me out of the market and the lessons I learned along the way 🧵
1. Always trust your own opinion first.
Most users simply follow what KOLs or friends suggest whether it’s buying a token or joining a project.
But before you get involved, it’s important to study everything yourself and form your own view.

2. Plan first > act later.
I used to fall into FOMO, buying a token and only then realizing it was already too late.
Now I see how important it is to evaluate every move beforehand and plan it carefully.
When you have a clear plan, success is much more likely.
3. Never rely only on trust.
Sometimes even “crypto friends” turn out to be scammers just waiting for the right chance to take your money.
I once decided to help a friend I had known for years by letting him use my wallet. Later, when I tried to top it up, I found all the funds had been transferred to another wallet.
Always be careful and think twice before sharing your personal information.
4. Study the market and look for new meta.
Crypto is always very volatile, with money constantly flowing from one narrative to another.
That’s how I discovered memecoins when the meta first appeared and it allowed me to build significant capital.
If you can spot a new way to earn before the crowd arrives, you’ll be the one who wins.
5. Learn to trade, no matter what other niches you explore.
Never forget that trading skills make you independent.
With them, you can always earn whenever you want whether it’s spot, futures or degen plays.
6. The best time to act is in a bear market.
While most people chase profits during a bull run, experienced investors accumulate when prices are low.
That’s usually when the most valuable and promising projects quietly launch.
7. Keep your funds in safe places.
This doesn’t always mean you need to buy a cold wallet it doesn’t guarantee full protection.
If you use a DEX wallet, always check where you’ve connected it and make sure to revoke access when needed.
Even trusted sites sometimes get hacked, and user funds can be stolen.
8. Long-term = WIN / Gambling = LOSE
Never put all your money into high-risk trades.
You’ll always see stories in the media about people making MILLIONS from a single trade but those are rare cases of luck.
Most of my capital came from long-term plays, and I only use about 5% for gambling.
That doesn’t mean everyone can repeat it, it’s mostly just luck.
9. Networking can make you rich.
When I first came into crypto, I kept losing money for a long time and couldn’t find my niche.
Then I started talking with other users and discussing the market.
That’s what eventually brought me into CT, your environment always shapes your results.
10. Take some profits and go explore the world.
My biggest problem was being afraid to take profits and actually spend them on myself.
But once I started traveling and making purchases, it pushed me to work even harder.
You’ll be surprised at how much this can teach you.
