Like many newcomers, when I first got into the crypto world, I saw huge gains and huge losses, got liquidated countless times, and went through many nights where I couldn’t sleep. If you know, you know.
Around this time last year, I had more than half a month of continuous profits—stable earnings and not low either. I thought I had finally understood it. I even named it “Confessions of the Enlightened,” and for a period of time, I was honestly excited and talked big in the square.
Back then, the square was bustling. Alpha events were at their peak. Getting involved in something like that counted as being a newcomer—watching and learning, trying to scrape together a bit of profit, with no real capital and no profession or connections to rely on. You could say I was just a retail trader who got to sip a little of the soup, because my aspirations were never to fit this kind of “make money” model. Hmph, I’m into trading. I’m into investing.
