It's been a year since I entered the circle. Let me share my rookie's blood, sweat, and tears story.

At first, I was extremely bold. I would short any new coin that didn't sit well with me. That half-month, my luck was incredible—every trade hit, and my account skyrocketed to $30,000. I was so inflated with confidence, thinking I was the chosen one.

And then? A full gamble explosion—my $30,000 profit vanished instantly, returning to zero.

I calmed down and did the math: after a whole year of messing around, I finally pocketed $470. On the surface, it doesn't look like a loss, but when you factor in the time spent watching charts, researching, and feeling anxious... it's definitely a negative return.

But it wasn't all in vain. At least I paid my tuition and learned one thing: the market is not a cash machine. Respect is more important than confidence. Now, I plan to focus and study the logic behind BTC and ETH trends carefully, gamble less, learn more, and take it slow.
