Thought I had it all figured out. Turns out confidence without proper risk management is a expensive lesson. Watched my entire savings vanish faster than I could react—all because I was too convinced in my own trading decisions and ignored basic portfolio management principles.



The hardest part? It wasn't the financial loss. It was realizing how reckless I'd been. No stop-losses. No diversification. Just pure overconfidence betting everything on a handful of positions.

If you're reading this: don't be like me. The crypto market will humble you quick. Position sizing matters. Risk management isn't boring—it's survival. And sometimes the smartest play is knowing when to sit on the sidelines.
