#MyGateTradeStory
Hello everyone! 👋

I want to share a story. Honestly, it’s not so much about charts and candles, but about the long journey of "survival" in this crazy industry. 2.7 years ago, I registered on the Gate exchange, thinking I would get rich quickly 😁. Spoiler: I might not have gotten rich right away, but I gained invaluable experience and friends.

In crypto, it’s common to be a lone wolf, as there are many people around who can deceive and be insincere, but we’ll skip that part. My experience made me realize the opposite. The most valuable thing I gained was a small group of people with whom we met here, on the exchange. At first, we just exchanged signals, shared experiences, recommended the best tokens to buy, followed airdrops, then discussed fears, and now it’s my crypto family.
Why is it important to cherish this community? Because trends change faster than the wind. While you’re alone, you might miss the start of a movement, fall into negativity, and talk yourself into a corner. But when there are guys around who see your panic and say, “Stop, look at the volumes” or “Don’t panic, it’s just noise,” such moments are priceless. We share insights, send each other articles and news, exchange the latest trends, highlight “green” entry zones, and sometimes it’s just kind words that are a few short of a solution. It’s not just an information exchange anymore; now it’s a moral anchor.

And yes, as we know, luck is now “the capricious lady.” She comes and goes, just like hype coins and trends in trading metals, oil, and US stocks. In such moments, you need to be able to adapt quickly and try to profit everywhere. However, I’ve learned a golden rule: as soon as you relax and think you’ve learned everything, fate gives you a good kick.

It’s like a strategy. You build it, test it, it works... and then the market turns around, and the strategy fails.
I think everyone remembers that very October 10, 2025. On such days, the market erases everyone who forgot the rules.

And here the main law of survival kicks in:
Strict money management + Complete disconnection from greed.

Greed is now our main and most cunning enemy. It whispers: “Just a little more, add leverage, don’t take profits, it’ll go higher.” And when you give in to it, you lose everything!
My good friend, whom I met on Gate, said one phrase that’s always in my head now: “Greed is poverty.” So, remember that even with a small leverage in trading, you have a chance to lose everything, so I always recommend trading only with BTC and ETH.

I realized that preserving capital is more important than chasing Xs. And maintaining relationships is more important than chasing quick profits. If there are at least 2-3 people around you who will tell you the truth and support you when your deposit dips, cherish them. They are your most reliable asset that won’t crash to zero.

Cherish the community, watch the risks, and never succumb to euphoria. Crypto loves patient and friendly ❤️

I want to thank the Gate exchange for the friendly atmosphere inside Square, as well as all kind and loyal people I met along my way who helped with their invaluable experience, taught me, and simply supported me. With many, perhaps our views diverged somewhere, but remember, you will stay forever in my heart ❤️.
