I am the KING of crypto.
Im making money hand over fist!
Cant nobody tell me nuthin.
These are the lies I used to tell myself
I feel like an idiot for it now.
The reality:
I was making tons of crappy trades.
Sometimes Id get lucky, and ride a coin to the moon!
The high from that ONE good trade would last me days.
days of bad decisions and lost money.
I had no idea how much I was lying to myself.
Mostly because I never bothered to write down my trades.
I was so sure that my memory would be good enough - no reason to take notes!
So I focused on the lucky trades.
Pretty soon those were all I would remember.
The rest of them faded away
It was like the crappy trades never existed.
When the bear market hit, I couldnt ignore my failures anymore.
There was less luck to be found
As they say, it takes skill to survive a bear market.
Crypto was supposed to be the light at the end of the tunnel
But I was treating it like a joke.
Something had to change.
My mentor told me a hundred times before, but I wasnt ready to listen
But after the bear bit me...? I knew he was right.
I had to keep track of my trades. Its the only way to stop lying to myself.
When I did, I realized something awful.
I made a lot of bad decisions..
I almost let the despair scare me away from trading.
But I told myself to give it one last go.
Really try this time
Take it seriously.
After all that time wasted behaving like a fool
I finally found my turning point!
I could begin my long, painful march from consistently bad to profitable.
The thing about being profitable, is that there's always MORE profit to be had.
Ill always be on the journey to higher profits...
Looking back, it seems like Ive come so far.
But when I look forward, I see how much profit is still out there.
And I take another step...
