Mine was accepting that I’m not a trader.
I got into crypto around 2020 because a guy from work wouldn’t shut up about it. I was doing long shifts, bored with life, saving barely anything, and crypto felt like the first thing in years that had some kind of upside.
At first I bought BTC and ETH.
Then, like every new genius in a bull market, I started chasing garbage.
“ETH killers.” Gaming coins. Metaverse coins. Random stuff from YouTube thumbnails with rockets and shocked faces. I checked charts at work, at dinner, in bed, even half-asleep at 3am like my portfolio needed supervision.
2021 made me rich.
2022 fixed that.
Luna, Celsius, FTX, endless rugs, influencers deleting old tweets and pretending they warned everyone. I lost some, gained some.
Best decision I made was cleaning it up.
Sold most of the random bags. Kept BTC and ETH. Stopped trading. Stopped joining Telegram groups. Stopped acting like stress was “grinding.”
Now I just buy a little when I get paid and leave it alone.
Would I make that decision again?
Yes. Much earlier.
The best move I made in crypto wasn’t finding the perfect coin.
It was realizing boring works better for me.
What’s your “method” or “way”
What did you learn from all this?
What's the single best decision you've made in crypto, and would you make it again knowing what you know now?
