Alright fam, 'forgot to live' here. Let's talk investing vs. trading – a distinction that cost me $600.
I thought buying ADA or SOL for a quick 10% pump was 'investing.' Nope. Investing is planting a tree and waiting *years* for the fruit. It's about long-term growth.
My $600 leverage wipeout on DOGE – that's trading. It's fishing in a storm. Trading needs skill, discipline, risk management. Most retail folks think they're investors but are just bad traders.
My lesson: If you're not holding for *years*, you're trading. And trading without strategy is gambling. Know your game.
