Everyone comes in thinking they're different. They read a few threads, watch some YouTube videos, maybe even understand the tech. They think that's enough. It's not.
Your first bull run tricks you into thinking you're a genius. Everything you touch goes up. You think you've figured it out. Then bear market hits and you realize you weren't smart, you just had good timing.
The real learning happens when you lose. Like actually lose, not just see some red. I'm talking 60, 70 or 90 percent down and you're still checking prices at 3am knowing it won't help. That's when it clicks what this thing actually is.
Crypto isn't like anything else. You can't study it like stocks or real estate and feel safe. It's pure chaos. Monday some project is the future, Friday it's a rug pull. The thing everyone clowned does a 50x out of nowhere. Nothing makes sense unless you zoom way out.
Most people bail after their first big L. Call it all a scam, act like they knew the whole time. The ones who stay aren't smarter, they just figured out this is a long game in a rigged casino where sometimes the house loses too. You start taking profits. You learn position sizing. You realize being stubborn and confident when you're down bad is just expensive.
One cycle shows you patterns. Two cycles show you patterns don't mean shit. Three cycles show you the only edge is patience and not doing dumb stuff when you're emotional.
One region goes down and half the internet just stops. Amazon, Snapchat, Fortnite...
This is literally why we need decentralized storage. Like, this is the moment to learn about Filecoin.

But honestly, from what I've seen, it might not hold up over the long haul or in a nasty bear market. At the end of the day, it's still just an LLM , but it can glitch on unpredictable stuff like sudden news ( like Trump dropping a tariff bomb or some random shits ) or black swan events. $SOL $BNB
