If I could go back to my beginnings in cryptocurrencies, I would give myself these tips: first, I wouldn't put everything into emerging altcoins without understanding the technology behind them. Bitcoin and Ethereum are the foundation for truly learning how this space works. Second, I would study more about risk management before trading—greed leads to losses that could have been avoided. Third, I would seek out serious communities to learn from, not just influencers who sell dreams. And most importantly: I wouldn't let FOMO and fear control my decisions. The market will always have cycles, and that's normal.

BTC-0.97%

ETH-0.61%

Ha, you're so right... I was all in on trash coins back then and almost got stuck forever. Looking back now, I really should have first understood the underlying logic of BTC and ETH, rather than just following some influencers' hype and rushing in.

Wow, that really hits home... I was completely wiped out by FOMO back then.

Actually, the algorithmic beauty of Bitcoin's consensus mechanism is precisely what separates genuine blockchain primitives from those shitcoins peddled by influencers... but yeah, understanding the tech first hits different. most people chase the generative wealth fantasy without grasping the topological implications, smh.

Actually, don't let FOMO get the better of you and go all-in in a rush. That's so true.

Really, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been controlled by FOMO. Looking back now, those disastrous decisions were all caused by impulsiveness.

Really, BTC and ETH are the real stepping stones. Don't go all-in on shitcoins right away. --- Risk management is something I only understand now. Back then, I was just relying on luck to get by. --- FOMO is like a vampire; you need to quit. --- Finding the right circle is crucial. Don't let those scammers cut your leeks. --- That's right, cycles are normal. Why panic? --- I'm the opposite example of poor position management—learned the hard way. --- BTC is the real boss. Don't be fooled by flashy things. --- This advice is tough for newcomers, but it's necessary to survive. --- Greed can really be deadly. I've seen too many cases. --- If I had this awareness early on, I wouldn't have lost so much. It's too late to regret now.

Really, I should have studied the white paper carefully from the start and not been fooled by sweet talk into investing in trash coins.
