9 Years in Crypto: What It Really Taught Me Lost money. Made money. Held through chaos. Traded through euphoria. Here are the most brutal, honest, and life-changing lessons I've learned in crypto that no influencer will tell you... 1. The crowd is almost always wrong. By the time you see it on your feed, you're late. The real alpha lives before the hype hits X. 2. Time in the market beats timing the market Until you learn to do both. Stack $BTC + $ETH, but also learn to trade narratives. 3. 90% of coins you’re holding won’t survive the next cycle. Stop marrying your bags. You’re here to make money, not friends with tickers. 4. Liquidity is more important than conviction. It doesn’t matter how bullish you are if nobody’s buying when you want out. 5. If you're overtrading, you're probably compensating for a lack of edge. Most gains come from waiting. Fewer plays. Heavy conviction. Clean execution. 6. The best opportunities feel uncomfortable. Buy fear. Sell euphoria. Easier said than done, but that’s where the money is. 7. The market doesn’t care about you. No one’s coming to save your position. Take responsibility or take losses. 8. Survival is underrated. If you’re still here after multiple years, you’ve already outperformed 99% of people who gave up, got wiped, or chased garbage. 9. Having a system beats having a feeling. Gut calls lose steam fast. Real edge comes from refining your process. 10. The goal isn’t just to make money: it’s to keep it. Learning to scale down is just as important as learning when to ape in. This industry gave me some of the highest highs and lowest lows of my life. But through it all: I've stuck around. Now I share the lessons, strategies, and frameworks that helped me survive and thrive, so others don’t have to learn the hard way. Let’s keep winning.
