My Biggest Crypto Mistake – Don’t Let This Happen to You

 

When I first got into crypto, I made a move that could have changed my life—but I let someone else talk me out of it.

 

I bought $4,000 worth of LINK at just $0.70 per token. I had a gut feeling about it and planned to hold onto it until I made millions. But then, I made the mistake of asking the wrong person for advice.

 

I was watching a YouTuber—someone I thought knew everything about crypto. He was a Bitcoin maximalist, and during one of his streams, I asked him what he thought about my LINK investment. His response?

 

"Forget about it. LINK will never go above $1. It's going to zero."

 

That shook me. I panicked. Instead of trusting my own judgment, I sold everything.

Looking back now, I realize what a huge mistake that was. I let someone who didn't actually know the future dictate my decisions. And that’s the biggest lesson I want to share with you:

 

Nobody knows where the market will go. Not YouTubers. Not influencers. Not even the so-called "experts."

 

Crypto is always a 50/50 game—prices go up, prices go down. The only person who should decide your next move is you.

 

So, if you’re new to crypto, take this advice: Do your own research, trust your instincts, and never let someone else scare you out of your future wealth.
