After a round of crypto trading, I finally realized that I am just a money sender.

I've played all kinds of new coins like BROCCOLI and RIVER. Chased in at high prices, cut losses at low prices, and after going back and forth, all I have left are lessons. Not to mention old coins like ETH, no matter how volatile, I never escaped the fate of being trapped.

Looking back at my trading records, I finally found where the problem was—there was no real trading plan, only FOMO and panic. When the coin rises, I rush in; when it falls, I get scared out, completely driven by emotions.

Now I understand that instead of continuing this reckless operation, it’s better to study market cycles, risk management, and other fundamentals. Those who truly make money rely never on luck, but on discipline and patience.

So I advise friends who come after me: don’t repeat my mistakes. Think about your stop-loss point before entering, and stick to trading discipline while holding positions. This way, you can at least survive a little longer. There are plenty of opportunities in the crypto market, but the premise is that you need to still be in the game.

BROCCOLI-9,04%

ETH-0,59%

This guy is right, I was also a FOMO little prince back in the day, now I'm almost out of underwear. To be honest, the discipline of stop-loss is really a lesson learned by throwing money at it. That's why now when I look at the candlestick charts, I always ask myself, is this trading or gambling?

This guy's words really hit home. I also FOMOed in, cut my losses, and got out... Now I'm just lying flat and holding the coin.

Really, FOMO kills people. That's how I lost money too. --- That time I bought ETH at a high price, I still haven't recovered from it haha. --- Discipline is easy to talk about, but how many can really stick to it? --- The stop-loss point is so crucial. I just didn't set it properly, which is why I got trapped for so long. --- The crypto world is a test of human nature. In the end, those who lose are the ones who lose to themselves. --- Seeing the trading record at that moment really broke me. It was like giving away money. --- Now I understand what it means to make money with a plan and lose money by gambling. --- Those who say they can catch the bottom and sell at the top are basically just bragging. --- Wow, BROCCOLI. I've played it too. Now I just want to rant. --- Sticking to discipline is more important than choosing the right coin. That’s a true statement.

Oh no, this is me, a walking cautionary tale. To be honest, that whole FOMO thing really harms people. I'm still paying off debts. This friend understood it quite quickly, saving a lot of unnecessary money. No discipline = no future. That hits home.

Oh my, this is the truth. That's exactly how I got eaten before. Honestly, FOMO is really a poison. When the coin jumps, my brain short-circuits. Discipline really has to be strict, or you'll keep losing money. How can I truly control myself? Seeking advice from experience. Only after losing do I understand, brother. Now I wonder if it's too late or not.

Honestly, FOMO has killed me too many times. I'm still holding onto my ETH that I haven't sold yet; that's a lesson learned. Disciplined people have already jumped in, while we're still buying at the bottom. Stop-losses really need to be set, or you'll be unable to close your eyes when cutting losses. Living is much more important than making quick money, I believe that now.
