I am the KING of crypto trading!

[Mr_Akbar]

I am the KING of crypto.
I’m making money hand over fist!
Can’t nobody tell me nuthin’.
 
These are the lies I used to tell myself…
I feel like an idiot for it now.
 
The reality:
I was making tons of crappy trades.
 
Sometimes I’d get lucky, and ride a coin to the moon!
The high from that ONE good trade would last me days.
… days of bad decisions and lost money.
 
I had no idea how much I was lying to myself.
Mostly because I never bothered to write down my trades.
I was so sure that my memory would be good enough - no reason to take notes!
 
So I focused on the lucky trades.
Pretty soon those were all I would remember.
The rest of them faded away…
It was like the crappy trades never existed.
 
When the bear market hit, I couldn’t ignore my failures anymore.
There was less luck to be found…
As they say, it takes skill to survive a bear market.
 
Crypto was supposed to be the light at the end of the tunnel…
But I was treating it like a joke.
Something had to change.
 
My mentor told me a hundred times before, but I wasn’t ready to listen…
But after the bear bit me...? I knew he was right.
I had to keep track of my trades. It’s the only way to stop lying to myself.
 
When I did, I realized something awful.
I made a lot of bad decisions..
 
I almost let the despair scare me away from trading.
But I told myself to give it one last go.
Really try this time… Take it seriously.
 
After all that time wasted behaving like a fool…
I finally found my turning point!
I could begin my long, painful march from consistently bad to profitable.
 
The thing about being profitable, is that there's always MORE profit to be had.
I’ll always be on the journey to higher profits...
Looking back, it seems like I’ve come so far.
But when I look forward, I see how much profit is still out there.
And I take another step...

Just don't give up even this reality is continuing to slap our face while we are heading or learning on how to trade. Expectation is different from reality where we do see trading might be simply but when you are already on the battle field then you would say that it isn't really easy as it looks.

The thing here is that you shouldn't give up easily and if you are dedicated, just learn from your mistakes and move on and make yourself consistent.

Hey, my only advice I can give you is that crypto trading is like a journey, lots of ups and downs so it's really up to you on how are you going to stand up and make a comeback. I sense some negativity in you so you should be optimistic in every trade you make. Have a positive attitude not just in crypto trading but in your life dude, just saying.

Idk and have no idea what actually OP wants. He keep writes some poem(s) and create another new thread.
If you are a king on crypto, both of you (2 people above me) shouldn't giving him any advice since it's useless.

OP, don't post anything while you are still drunk

Poems about cryptocurrencies have a place to be, if a person likes such creativity. Yes, experienced traders say that it’s easy to make money in a bull market, so beginners feel like a trading guru. But when the bull trend is replaced by the bear trend, this illusion collapses and traders get experience from the behavior of the real market, with its unpredictability and ruthlessness. And the time comes to study various trading strategies, technical analysis and other tools.

Sometimes no operation is the best operation, you don't need to make a lot of moves to profit, just need to make the right moves, in the right times

I open the thread because of your title but seems it was the opposite thing. That is a lesson learned for you, buddy. You've said you have a mentor, since he was more experienced than you then you have to listen to him. Aside from that, you are not the only one who experience the down sides. We also felt being useless when we lose our trades but we moved on, learned our mistakes, reflect and then start trading again. Never give up, dude. As far as I know, we've been there before but look at us now, gaining profits now.

Ohh this situation just like a bullish market momentum.

Went the bullish was coming into the market, and then a lot of "Artist" or "Troller" making a statement about "BLA BLA BLA BLA" with some technical analysis looking some popularity from a cryptocurrency.

But went the bearish coming, this shitty guy was missing.

You need to make one statement either you are a king of crypto or you lost your confidence on crypto here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168222.msg51929347#msg51929347).

Which of these two is true ?
