Investing in crypto can be a great opportunity, but also a path full of risks. Many beginners lose money by making the same mistakes over and over. Here are the most common ones and how to avoid them

1. BUYING WITH FOMO.
🔴 Jumping into the market just because you see “everything going up” usually means buying at the worst time.
🟢 Better: plan your entries calmly. Use dollar-cost averaging (DCA) to reduce the risk of overpaying.

2. NOT HAVING A CLEAR PLAN.
🔴 Without an exit plan, it’s easy to panic-sell or get stuck until most of your investment is gone.
🟢 Better: set profit goals and a loss limit in advance. This keeps emotions from controlling your decisions.

3. PUTTING EVERYTHING INTO ONE COIN.
🔴 Betting all on a single project is very risky: if it fails, your portfolio collapses.
🟢 Better: diversify across several cryptos and sectors. That way, you reduce risk and protect your capital.

4. USING TOO MUCH LEVERAGE.
🔴 Trading with borrowed money can liquidate you fast. Even a small move against you can wipe your account.
🟢 Better: invest only your own capital. Leverage is for advanced traders who know how to manage risk.

5. FORGETTING ABOUT SECURITY.
🔴 Keeping all your crypto on a centralized exchange is risky: it could get hacked, blocked, or go bankrupt.
🟢 Better: use secure wallets (hardware wallets or trusted apps) and protect your accounts with 2FA.

6. CHASING “MAGICAL” RETURNS.
🔴 Many projects offer unreal yields that end up as scams or collapses.
🟢 Better: always do your own research (DYOR). If you don’t understand where the yield comes from, it’s probably unsustainable.

7. NOT CHECKING LIQUIDITY.
🔴 Buying a crypto with low volume can trap you: when you want to sell, there may be no buyers.
🟢 Better: check daily volume and exit ease. The more liquid a market is, the lower the risk.

8. BELIEVING ONLY THE “NICE STORY.”
🔴 Many tokens pump only with marketing and empty promises, without real users behind them.
🟢 Better: analyze if the project truly has utility, users, and growth. Metrics matter more than hype.

9. FORGETTING TAXES AND FEES.
🔴 Making money in crypto without considering taxes or fees can eat away most of your real gains.
🟢 Better: keep track of all your trades and check how they’re taxed in your country. That way you avoid nasty surprises.

10. HAVING AN INCONSISTENT HORIZON.
🔴 Many claim to invest “long term” but act like daily traders, constantly changing strategy.
🟢 Better: decide if you’re an investor or a trader. Separate a long-term portfolio from short-term trades, without mixing goals.

11. NOT KEEPING RECORDS OF TRADES.
🔴 Repeating mistakes is common if you don’t review what you did right or wrong each time.
🟢 Better: write down every move -why you entered, what your plan was, and the outcome. This speeds up learning and improves your strategy.

12. BLINDLY FOLLOWING INFLUENCERS.
🔴 Relying on others’ recommendations without doing your own research is one of the main causes of losses.
🟢 Better: listen to ideas, but do your own research. Cross-check information and make decisions based on data, not promises.

✨ FINAL TIP: Investing in crypto is not about guessing - it’s about avoiding mistakes, managing risks, and staying disciplined.

September begins with red candles across the board, reminding traders why this month has a reputation for turbulence.

Bitcoin is hovering around $107K–108K, after peaking near $124K in August. Analysts warn of possible dips toward $100K, while optimists still see upside to $144K. $BTC

Ethereum (ETH) slipped harder, down around 7%, trading near $4,380–$4,400. $ETH

XRP is testing key support at $2.77. A breakdown could mean a further 10% slide toward $2.50 or even $2.26.

The global crypto market cap is down ~1%, sitting near $3.7T–$3.8T, with over 90% of top coins in the red.

A massive 24,000 BTC (~$2.7B) sell off by institutions added pressure, sparking debate: some predict Bitcoin could revisit $75K, while others project new highs at $175K or more.

Adding to the noise, Trump’s WLFI token officially launched today, merging politics with market speculation.

📉 Historically, September often brings corrections after summer rallies. Technical indicators (RSI, MACD, broken supports) seem to reinforce this seasonal weakness.

✨ Still, volatility cuts both ways: September may hurt the impatient, but it could also set up the next major breakout.
