How long have you been in crypto and what have you learnt?

[Faisal2202]

I'll go first. I've been in crypto for two years now. And I've learnt that it's not a get rich quick scheme. Using that mindset you'll burnout within a short while... How about you??

You are saying if we have a mindset of assuming crypto as get quick rich scheme will make us burn out or otherwise? I actually did not get this part. I have also been involved in crypto since 2021 I guess, before that I spent time on virtual online mining in 2018 with no knowledge of crypto especially of blockchain technology. If I had had some knowledge then I would not have wasted my time on these useless sites which were nothing but a waste of time and resources. As I got nothing from them.

And in 2021 I got to know about the BTT forum and then my journey in crypto started. And here I am, I learned a lot of things about BTC, Alts, Blockchain, NFTs, Metaverse, Liquidity, investments mindset, How to manage risk, trading, and how to write, I even started my career as a content write just because I was writing bounty article back on BTT and now I am an SEO content writer as a freelancer. I am glad to be a crypto users, it opens many gateways all you have to do is not think of it quick rich scheme only if you invested in a coin like meme and it gave you 100x but if you invested only 10 or 100 dollars then even if 100x you are not going to be rich.

I started September of 2017, and the first thing that I did, and I will never forget about these 2.
FAUCETS AND CLOUD MINING

I still remember spending around 2 hours clicking those captchas just to get a few cents in the form of cryptocurrency. After a few weeks, I will pile up what I got for free, and will deposit it on a cloud mining website (the name was Eobot, but now gone already) just to increase my mining power. I mean I'm just a beginner at that time, so while I'm doing it, I'm also learning the basics of cryptocurrency. To cut the story short, I stopped doing faucets because it's repetitive and overwhelming, and I completely forgotten about the cloud mining website where I deposited my free money from faucets.

It's good that I learned Bitcointalk as well because it helped me increase my knowledge even more. Same with this forum even though I'm only active for months only.

I have known about cryptocurrency since 2013, but I only became active in 2017 and was on hiatus for 4 years (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022), which means that my active years in cryptocurrency were probably only about 3 years.

What I get from cryptocurrency is first of all money. Then some basic knowledge about how Bitcoin and some Altcoins work. I also learned about a more flexible payment system using cryptocurrency, which is actually my dream payment system, because there is really no interference from any government when making transactions.

         -     I have been in cryptocurrency for 2 years, and during this time it was not easy for me to start here, and it is not easy to learn crypto or bitcoin, especially the actual trade here in the field of crypto space.

Those who have been here for a long time are right in saying that it is not enough just to say with our lips that we want to learn trading. Because you really need to be accompanied by determination, which is often read in other forums and even here, you also need willingness and perseverance, and you must love what you are doing. As time goes by, there is something that must be learned. Even though I am studying, he is still, and we must always be an empty cup.

Where have you been or where did you even get the idea that it's a get rich quick scheme? It might have been that the people around you had the opportunity to profit from crypto, and it might have been a lot but you on the other hand might have not been.

There are possibly a lot of reasons for it but what I know is that it might be that the people that you know have worked their butts off to have that or something.

I have learned that you need to be patient and continuously be in the market and be in a group that is a good group that prioritizes knowledge.

I have been with cryptocurrency for about 7 years.  I have already gained a lot from here and also lost a lot here.  Learned a lot of new things both in terms of loss and gain.  Crypto is a very interesting era where it is possible to gain a lot and also to lose a lot. so what I would say about crypto is that those who use it should use it with caution.

Crypto does not consist of just trading and investment but there are lots of other ways of earning but still people want to become rich quickly through trading and investment which is their big fault. I think if we utilize our own mind and do about which we know better as well as if we choose a less risky method of earning then we can make a huge amount without any stress.

The trading and investment will only give you profit if you have knowledge and your hold coins have previous successful history, means that the coin should not be a scam. Mistakes will make you master with the passage of time but it is a must to learn from those mistakes instead of leaving the opportunity.

I ever heard about crypto since 2017, but Not yet interested in entering the crypto world. yeah, just for a moment. And at that time, if I'm not mistaken, Bitcoin was also very booming. So, in 2018 we finally started to really understand what cryptocurrency was and started to be active on forums. Well, this is what brought me to crypto, because a friend told me about crypto and forums too. so learn little by little. It's just that I've been on hiatus a few times because I thought it wasn't worth it. but then again, come back again, because other friends are still active here too. So as long as you stick with it, it turns out it's not bad for extras. especially when I was actively trading, it was not bad. It's just that, not for long, because trading is really complex, and you can't analyze and monitor the market that diligently and consistently. ha ha ha

Our time in the crypto market is really important, even more important than when we entered the market. Profitable investors will feel that the crypto market is really promising and has many great opportunities, but it doesn't come naturally. It only comes after investors have put in a lot of effort and time to learn, trade, and have both profits and losses. All new investors have the opportunity to grow with this market!

I am a trader and I hope that as the crypto market develops, we will also have more experienced investors, then we can have more optimized investment methods for the crypto market and no longer depend on the traditional methods developed specifically for the stock market and commodities from decades ago.

It's true, we've experienced a lot of things that make us happy here and we've also felt a lot of losses and that's an experience we always feel in this crypto space.

This is a valuable lesson for us, but of course the existence of crypto has changed my finances a lot, especially in improving my finances. Not only that, I also want to learn more, not just focus on crypto and that broadens my insight in everything.

I've been in crypto since 2016. I have a lot of regrets and I learned a lot from it. And now, I continue learning day by day as the crypto industry keeps improving. I learned that if you are being controlled by your emotions, it will be the reason of your loss. Make sure that your emotion is in the normal state before making a decision. Because the profit is a result of having a good mindset. That is the very key to survive and benefits from the opportunity we get in crypto.

Emotion is another aspect of human feeling that some how affects the others. Being too emotional does not guarantee perfection and it does not also make things fall in line with your projection. When you learn how to deal with emotion,  you are better to face reality as it is than allowing it affect your statutory operandi.  Until you learn how to do away with being too emotional, you can not be able to do things straight without being disrupted. Until one learns to face reality and do away with being too emotional, one can not go too far in life.

I've been into crypto since 2016 and I've learnt not to be greedy. I've learnt to always take profit.. And the recent lesson I learnt is you can lose a  fortune by buying coins on pumpdotfun. Lol

I've been into crypto since 2016 and I've learnt not to be greedy. I've learnt to always take profit.. And the recent lesson I learnt is you can lose a  fortune by buying coins on pumpdotfun. Lol

But I think sometimes it's ok to be greedy, and as long as you know what you are doing, you could be good in this market. Just stay within your boundaries, take profit re-invest your profit on projects that you think will do good in the long run. But the thing is that there are investors who just look for pump and dump to take profits. However, it's even greater risk for that, so it's better to just stay on projects that are solid already or at least have history to give their investors a huge profit in the future like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

[SmartGold01]

Avoid being too greedy, as a crypto currency lover be it a trader or investors avoid too much greed otherwise you will end up losing all that you have gathered. I had several stories on how people hold their altcoin to some certain level after which they lost their investment to zero level while waiting for possible 100x before they would take profits from their holding.
And one more thing I will like to say, no altcoin today that will supperceed bitcoin and you shouldn't be washed with that theory that a particular coin or token will moon above bitcoin, this is a serious deception.

[ayydil]

Learnt to have lots of patience Even though crypto is more volatile than stocks, still in it, if you want to get profits, you surely need patience and practice in trading, without that it is just not gonna work. Other things like how not to panic and how dip is an opportunity is something one learns through experience.
