2018 has taught me so much valuable lessons, chief of them is the need to be very much aware in this space, as you be a minute late and the party is over.  I've also learnt to put my greed under check especially when I'm making good gains, it's important to secure profits and set targets to exit and not foolishly riding the tide until forced out. I've learnt to follow my instincts and being overly dependent on what is being churned out by chillers and so called experts. Last but not the least, I've learnt patience, and this has helped me not just in crypto only, but I've been able to apply in daily life.
