To everyone who has lost money in in crypto, Bitcoin, blockchain, these days… read this:
You’ve placed your money in the riskiest asset since the tulip crisis. I hope you’re aware of that, and if not, you became aware last friday.
Crypto is primarily built on the dream of becoming financially independent within 2–3 years, which means it can really go up, but more often it really goes down.
For that reason, people in crypto are often:
→ Leveraged above and beyond
→ Hypnotized by Twitter / Reddit forums
→ Completely euphoric when prices rise 5%
→ And completely panicky when they fall 5%.
In short, it’s one big volatility-kindergarten, where 99% of participants are blindfolded, hoping to run through the “100x gate.”
That’s why crypto can drop 50% in 30 minutes when Trump tweets “100% tariffs on China,” and people lose everything they’ve built.
Personally, I participate like this:
→ No FOMO or leverage
→ Mainly in the big ones: BTC, ETH, SOL
→ Follow macro data and the broader tech market
→ Expect insane volatility
→ Make no decisions when the market is crazy.
I’ve been involved for less than a year, and only with money I can afford to lose. I follow profiles who talk about crypto from a professional standpoint, and stay far away from anyone who smells even slightly of “crypto bros.”
I’m up about 20% in crypto this year.
And finally:
I remain positive for the rest of the year. One Trump tweet doesn’t change the strategy, but it certainly wrecks confidence in a large part of the crypto market.
Remember to zoom out,
Martin
