Day 7/30 — 08/01

MISTAKES MANY BEGINNERS MAKE (AND MANY VETERANS DO TOO)

Most people don't leave the crypto market due to lack of opportunity. They leave due to repeated mistakes:

  1. Mistakes not shown on the chart.

  2. They are in the behavior.

Some of them appear right at the beginning.

Others only after some time — when confidence grows faster than preparation.

🔹 Common mistakes at the beginning of the journey

• Entering without understanding the asset

Buying only because someone recommended it, because 'it's going up,' or because it seems cheap.

• Investing without a strategy

Not defining objective, timeline, or exit criteria — and deciding everything on impulse.

• Seeking quick gains without accepting risk

Wanting high returns without being willing to deal with losses or volatility.

• Making mistakes in custody due to ignorance

Leaving assets anywhere without understanding risks, responsibilities, or security.

• Ignoring your own profile

Copying strategies from others without considering risk tolerance, time, and emotional factors.

🔹 Mistakes that appear over time (when confidence increases)

• Confusing conviction with stubbornness

Holding onto bad positions just not to "admit the mistake".

• Changing plans with every fluctuation

Having a strategy on paper but not being able to follow it in practice.

• Increasing exposure without criteria

Investing more just because "now you understand", without re-evaluating risk.

• Using tools that do not match the level of experience

Entering futures, leverage, or complex operations before being prepared.

• Underestimating volatility

Thinking you already "know the market" and relaxing just where you should pay more attention.

Volatility is part of the market.

The mistake is not preparing to deal with it.

The central point is simple:

  1. the market does not punish those who make mistakes.

  2. It punishes those who repeat the mistake without learning.

That's why making mistakes is part of it.

Persisting without reflecting, no.

Before looking for the next asset, it's worth looking inward:

what mistake am I still repeating?

🔹 WEEK 1 — FUNDAMENTALS (02 to 08/01)

✅ 02/01 – Why do you invest in crypto? (purpose > price)

✅ 03/01 – Difference between Bitcoin, altcoins, and tokens

✅ 04/01 – What is blockchain (without technical terms)

✅ 05/01 – Custody: leave it on the exchange or in your own wallet?

✅ 06/01 – Spot vs Futures (why beginners should not trade futures)

✅ 07/01 – Volatility: risk or characteristic?

✅ 08/01 – Mistakes that many beginners make (and veterans do too)

🔍 CONCLUSION

The crypto market is DEMANDING.

But it is also GENEROUS to those who learn, adjust, and evolve.

📌 Starting tomorrow, we enter Week 2.

📌 The focus becomes security, behavior, and strategy.

❗ This is not investment advice.

I share study, experience, and reflection.
