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.
Maybe you are investing on memecoins, and not on projects with real products and real use case. If you are involved in a legit project you can even hold it for years without worrying anything tho, and there's lot of them out there you just have to find them.
And yes having a good life is much important than being rich, but how can you have a good life if you are struggling on your daily expenses everyday. Lol. Seems like you took being contented seriously. Don't be brother, dream high still, read and continue learning about stuff related to investing if you really wanted to become a successful investor. There are tons of resources out there that will teach you to become a wise investor and don't simply depends on your own mistakes. You can avoid losses with the right knowledge, keep that in your head.
