The most terrifying thing in crypto isn’t the bear market—it’s making money in the first three days after you come in.

Your first time buying coins.
You put in $500. In three days it turns into $2,000.
You think: “Is that all?”
You then add $5,000.
In a week it becomes $12,000.
You start to doubt whether you’re a trading genius.
At work, you watch the candlestick chart.
Your coworkers talk about DCA into funds.
You stand by in silence. Laughing in your head.
You quit your job.
You pour in all your savings—$30,000.
You open 20x leverage.
On day one, it doubles—$60,000.
You screenshot it.
The second day.
A single needle.
$60,000 to $0.
It didn’t just drop.
It got liquidated.
A liquidation notice arrives before the candlestick chart.
In a bear market, losing money isn’t the scary part.
What’s scary is that if you lose, you get afraid. If you get afraid, you learn. If you learn, you can live.
Making money as a newcomer is terrifying.
If you make money, you get arrogant. If you get arrogant, you add more. If you add more, you die.
The faster you make money, the more惨 you die.
Every dollar you earn in your first three days
is the market lending you as principal.
The interest is settled in full on the fourth day.
With principal and interest.
