I stopped my crypto journey way back last year because of so many losses and got busy with my school works, it was last year in February when I lost a huge amount of my money investing in altcoin and got rugged, I was depressed that time and sad because I lost a huge amount of money which makes me stop my crypto journey and just focus on my study.
Two weeks ago I saw my friend on Facebook posting such luxury and cars he already has and I know that person is into cryptocurrency so I know that he got all those things because of cryptocurrency that inspires me now to continue my crypto journey and I will start it with this forum as I know I can have a lot of lessons and advice here.
I just realized how risky cryptocurrency is, especially for those people who have not yet have good knowledge about it, I've learned from my mistakes last year and j am now here exploring again and will be careful this time.
Last year was 2022, that was not a good time to still be holding coins, in February of 2022 the bears are strongly taking over crypto market and many crypto projects are turning into scam, anyway, you must have learn something from this loss, you probably invested in bad projects is all.
You can still made some adjustment and become a better crypto investor, all you need to do is upgrade your way of choosing projects, say no to anything meme coin and hype, focus on the project utility, the team and the partnerships they have, even if you sell your coins too late or you hold when you should be selling your coins, you won't lose to rug pulls.
Do not follow your friends footsteps, focus on yourself, your friend might be lucky than you, he might be into something more risky than you know, I have a friend who oy know how to flip money between memecoins and he have made a lot of money than I have ever made from crypto, I don't let this bother me because his ways are not my way.
