Trading and trying to catch trend is also very dangerous. When Trump meme-coin became popular, my wife asked me if I had bought them. I have a rule, dont get involved into meme-coin trend. But somehow under pressure of news, greed and question my wife asked me (I was actually surprised that she even find out about Trump meme-coin and paid attention to crypto), I have purchased a little of it. But sadly, it was already to late to earn with it. Sold within an hour with little loss. My experiences how I was under pressure and how easy I was manipulated...
You should make your trading experience a reminder for you in the future. However, people closest to us or who are quite familiar with us can give advice that makes us feel like we are making decisions that are manipulated based on the advice given.
I always believe and avoid following trends that occur in a short time. It can be popular in a short time, so can it be destroyed in a short time. You may be lucky enough because you only experience a small loss, but some people may not be as lucky as you.
Not only for your lesson as someone who experiences the experience. It also applies to me and maybe others.
