... My experience till date has taught me that whether long term investment or short term trading Bitcoin is the best. Where our assets are the most secure, even if their value falls, we do not worry about our assets.
Where OP's mistake lies in not choosing Bitcoin. If I'm wrong about what the OP meant, I'd say that he didn't explain what coins he was losing money on.
Long term investments have more benefits than short term investments. I don't recommend people to trade on Bitcoin, but I rather recommend people to invest in Bitcoin.
Long-term investors can make any decision according to their wishes. But waiting until it reaches the highest price is a good decision for long-term holders. Different from those who choose short term.
I'm also curious about how much of the $6000 the OP used for spot trading and how much of it was used for futures trading. If the OP buys coins on the spot and then the price of the coins decreases then the OP should have the control to sell them immediately, but if the price has fallen far, I have no other words other than hold and hope that the coins will rise again someday, that is if the coins are sold. buy a good OP and enter the top 50 market cap list. But I'm not so sure about shitcoins.
The Futures market is a cruel market if we trade without stop loss and take profit. No matter how much money we make, if we are too brave to use large margins and leverage, it will have a bad impact if our position is in the opposite direction to the market direction.
The best decision is investment compared to trading. OP also said that he had just started trading, so this was purely OP's mistake in choosing to place that much money in trading instead of investing.
