Seven years in crypto taught me one thing
The biggest losses come from what feels safe
I lost around $1.5M learning that the hard way
Here is what I wish I knew sooner 👇🧵
1/ First time I got paid in Bitcoin in 2017
I googled how to sell and dumped after a quick double
Felt like a genius until four years later it was 10x
👉 The first high is rarely the end and patience wins
2/ Never confuse friendship with safety in a hype room
ICO chats felt like family and one guy kept printing calls
Trust grew and then he played me and $12K was gone
👉 Trust is a luxury and verification is survival
3/ The illusion of safety is the most expensive risk
I parked stables in Anchor for a clean twenty percent
Read the fine print and pulled out that same week
Seven days later UST and Luna disappeared completely
5/ A wide setup still breaks at the weakest link
Funds spread across chains and wallets felt bulletproof
Slope wallets started draining at five in the morning
I checked and saw zero and learned that one leak kills all
