Okay, before we get into that, letâs travel back to where it all started: hereâs how my Crypto Journey began...
The Genesis: Jobless & Curious đ§âđ»
After quitting my government job due to the political situation, I was left completely jobless. One day, I overheard my brother telling my mom how much he lost in Crypto because of FOMO. That sparked my curiosity, and well... thatâs how I accidentally stumbled into this world!
Seeing me idle, my brother handed me $100 as my starter fund. He strongly advised me to stick to Spot trading since I was a total newbie. But what did I do? I watched about 10 YouTube tutorials on trading and dived straight into Futures with full confidence! đ
Beginnerâs Luck & The First Phone Upgrade đ€
Call it beginnerâs luck, but playing without a Stop Loss actually took my $100 all the way up to nearly $1,000. Luckily, right around that peak, the market crashed, and I quickly closed my positions to lock in whatever profit was left. đ°
Coincidentally, my old phone screen started glitching around that time. So, I withdrew both my initial capital and all the profits to buy a brand-new phone! After getting the new phone, I didn't even look back at tradingâpartly because I had no capital left anyway. đ€·
The Crypto Box Grind & The Trump Pump Liquidation đ§§
Fast forward less than a year later, the screen on my new phone gave up on me again! Repair costs were sky-high, and I was broke. While aimlessly scrolling on YouTube, I stumbled upon videos showing how to collect free crypto from Crypto Boxes.
The dopamine hit immediately, and I was dragged right back into Crypto! I spent nearly 3 months collecting them 24/7 (lol not literally, but felt like it)... until I gathered around $100. Riding on my past experience, I felt confident that this $100 was enough to conquer Futures trading again. đ€
As luck would have it, this happened right around the time Trump became president, and the market was pumping like crazy. Following the classic "buy low, sell high" logic, I slammed a Short position. đ But the market just kept going up with no sign of dropping. Being the stubborn guy without an SL, I kept adding to my margin until I had nothing left to add. đ€Ż
Just like that, 3 months of hard-earned Crypto Box savings went up in flames via Liquidation in a single day. I was so heartbroken that for a whole month, I swore off trading, telling myself, "That's it, I'm done with this stuff!" đ€ But...
The 10 Oct 2025 Miraculous Wake-Up Call âĄïž
Then, my brother stepped in again and gave me fresh capital again. Naturally, my inner crazy trader woke up to recover my past losses! đȘ
This was during the first half of 2025, and prices were still skyrocketing. Once again, I pulled out my favorite "buy low, sell high" strategy and opened another Short position. Unsurprisingly, I hadn't learned my lesson and skipped the SL again. đ€« The market blasted upwards, so I kept adding margin until I literally ran out of funds. I spent days praying to the crypto gods for a pull-back.
Fast forward to the early morning of 10 Oct 2025... I woke up to my phone buzzing non-stop with notifications. So I rubbed my eyes, and saw the market had FLASH CRASHED! The price had dropped way past my entry, showing fat green profits! đ€
Imagine waking up to thatâmy heart was pounding like crazy! Prices were bouncing around wildly within 15-minute candles, so without wasting a second to figure out a TP level, I manually closed it right away. That single trade gave me a daily profit way above my usual average. đ
Where I Stand Today đ
To wrap it up, Iâve managed to recover all my previous liquidations, and these days I stick exclusively to $BTC with a safer approach. (Although, being the stubborn guy I am, I still donât use a Stop Loss đ).
I fully understand that trading without an SL carries massive riskâthe rewards are often small and take forever to materialize. But hey, Iâve got a "do-or-die" mindset. Call me stubborn if you want, but this is probably how I'll keep rolling!
In fact, because I didn't set an SL, my current positions have been stuck for over 4 months now. I'm currently paying funding fees every day, which means... yep, I'm back to collecting Crypto Boxes again to survive! đ
So, Fact or Myth? Well, Iâm still aliveâso itâs a Fact! But unless you have iron nerves and endless capital to bleed funding fees, don't try this at home! đ
