I started with nothing in crypto as I get only those in giveaways thru airdrop and bounties. Now is it better? no. At the end of the day it's still how you manage that fund whether you get it free or hard earned. I learned that thru the course of my journey in crypto trading.

I started my crypto trading with giveaways as well few years back when there were many giveaways from new bitcoin related sites. Luckily, I could manage my trading good enough so I could make some profit from something that I earned for free. After that, I add extra funds from my own pocket because I was very sure that I would earn more profit if I have more capital but too bad I was so greedy and I could not control my emotion which made me lost more than half of my money because of panic selling. It was a big mistake but also it was a big lesson learned as well.

Yes, the psychological pressure created by the whales on market participants has done its dirty business. Reading your post, I just made sure of it. Even people who have been on the cryptocurrency market for several years have surrendered under this pressure.
You got a valuable lesson and I'm glad that you made right conclusions. I hope in the future you will never fall into a similar trap.
I was able to hold out throughout 2018. I admit that sometimes my faith in the bright future of the crypto market declined, but even then I didn't consider the sale of all my assets as a solution to my problem. In those moments I communicated with myself and tried to find real arguments that could confirm that the crypto market had come to an end. And I could not find a single reason for this. Moreover, all my thoughts have led me to the fact that cryptocurrency is only gaining real momentum and the interest of institutional investors is growing with greater force. It was then I decided to do something, at first glance, illogical. I began to gradually buy more promising currencies. I also began to actively trade in order to get a steady profit. And with each passing day Ive only affirmed that I made the right choice.
