I've been in crypto for 8 years.
Here's every painful mistake I made (so you dont have to):
1. Got too deep into Ohm Ponzis, Wonderland, and similar ventures.
2. Accumulated a significant amount of $MATIC and $DOGE. At their all-time high prices, these could have secured my family's future, but I sold them at an average of 2-4x.
3. Lost my funds on Cryptopia when the exchange shut down; I forgot the email used for registration.
4. Missed out on @HyperliquidX KYC and many memecoins, including $TRUMP.
5. Didn't participate in many ICOs.
6. Lost access to my Bitcoin wallet when moving houses; it might be worth seven figures now.
I was frustrated with these mistakes before, but now I can laugh them off. It's all part of the journey.
I still believe in crypto for the long haul. It has liberated me to do work I love, create quality content, take my family on holidays, buy nice things, and truly own my precious time.
After all, beyond money, time is our most important resource.
I've been in crypto for a little over 6 years.
Here's every painful mistake I made (so you dont have to):
1. Didnt farm defi summer
2. Sold thousands of $ETH at bottom in panic on March 15th, 2020 during the Covid Collapse
3. Locked my $CRV for 4 years at 90c buy-in cost
4. Locked my $CVX missing the top at $60
5. Missed $Trump, $Fartcoin & basically all memes bc I think they're stupid
6. Didnt sell into Trump's inauguration
7. Sold the bottom of Trump Tariffs to preserve capital for further downside
...and yet Ive still done ok along the way, and even remained consistently profitable... bc I took profit frequently and often. Could I have done better? You bet but if you second guess all the generational wealth you've lost/sold along the way youll go mad.
Despite all my mistakes, crypto has given me a comfortable life, paid for life saving medical treatments and given me some degree of freedom from banks. ROI isnt what it was when I started...but there is still considerable money to be made. 🍌
