In the process of trying to be a future whales you could lost everything,trust me this got me no where and I realized that I've lost tons of money because I was never contented, be smart and always take advantage of any project that brings you profit, do not stare at your wallet and say 'im gonna be rich in 3 years later' this is 1% out of 100% chance that it's ever going to happen, remember, been rich isn't the most important part of our lives but living a good life is.
Yes, greed takes us through many levels of emotions, but the results are often very bad. I've seen people go from $ 1k to millions in 2017, but after 1 year he is owed about $ 500k and has no home. 
So please know happily and accept your small profits, as long as we maintain it for a long time, the result will definitely be better than traders using large capital or big leverage. This is also one of the best ideas applied by Warren Buffett, he is a very qualified investor and has never been psychologically manipulated by the market.
