Hey 👋
If you're reading this, you're probably curious about crypto.
You’ve seen the hype, the charts, the YouTubers screaming “To the moon!” 🚀

Me too.
But let’s be real — crypto isn’t just gainz and Lambos.
I made some dumb mistakes early on.

So I’m writing this for you:
The person just starting out who wants to learn… without getting wrecked.

❌ Mistake 1: FOMO Buys

I used to chase every green candle.
A friend says “Buy now before it pumps!” and I’m emptying my wallet like a slot machine.

Problem?
I bought at the top every time.

Lesson: If you hear about it on TikTok or Twitter, it’s probably too late.
Now, I do my own research and wait for pullbacks.

❌ Mistake 2: Ignoring Gas Fees

True story:
I once tried to send $20 worth of a coin…
And the gas fee was $48. 😩

I paid it.

Lesson: Always check fees first — especially on Ethereum.
Use lower-fee chains like Polygon, BNB, or Arbitrum when you can.

❌ Mistake 3: Not Taking Profits

I turned $40 into $320 with a meme coin once.
But I held it, thinking it would hit $1K.

Guess what?
Rug pull. Back to $5. 😶

Lesson: Take profits on the way up.
Even just 20% — lock in wins and thank yourself later.

✅ What I Do Differently Now

• I use stop-losses

• I track my portfolio weekly

• I focus on coins with real-world utility (not hype)

• I think long-term — like years, not hours
