I joined Gate at a time when I thought a good trade was simply buying something before everyone else noticed it.



My first trade was based on “this coin looks strong.”
No research. No plan. Just vibes. 😂

The chart had other plans.

I remember staring at the red candles like they had personally betrayed me.

That trade taught me something I still carry today: the market doesn’t reward confidence, it rewards preparation.

Since then, I’ve learned about liquidity, volatility, risk management and, most importantly, patience.

Funny enough, I don’t remember my biggest win as clearly as I remember that first stupid trade.

Maybe because that loss changed how I look at crypto.

60M users is a crazy milestone, but I’m even more curious about what the next 60M will look like.

Could the next 60M be more rational—or more FOMO-driven?

What you remember most clearly are the losses—that’s very real. Losses are the best teacher.

The red candle betrays not just you; it betrays everyone equally.

The market teaches every doubter a lesson—the first one always comes with tuition.

I estimate half of the 60M users came in because they’re “really good at reading charts,” haha.

From “feeling very strong” to “being fully prepared,” it took me two years to get there.

Liquidity, volatility, and risk management—I only understood these three terms after losing everything.
