On the second day of entering crypto trading, I was full of anticipation. Holding 0.44 Solana in my hand, I felt everything was under control—until reality slapped me hard.

In just one day, only 0.005 SOL remained in my account. Trading fees? I couldn't even afford them.

Looking back on the day's operations, the number of trades was frighteningly high. Each one gave me a gambling feeling, though I couldn't quite describe that feeling. Maybe because I had no plan at all? Or perhaps because I was placing orders purely on instinct? Anyway, it was all chaos.

Now I understand a principle: trading without a plan will only end up costing you money. Decision-making without a clear strategy is just gambling with luck. This lesson was bought with real money.

If I hadn't experienced it firsthand, I wouldn't believe the difference could be so huge.

The next day, I played myself out of the game. Is this the legendary quick maturation method for new investors? --- Damn, dropped from 0.44 to 0.005 in one day? Bro, this isn't trading, it's pure gambling. --- No plan, just reckless buying and selling. Serves you right... but then again, losing this fast is a bit harsh. --- Just how costly was this lesson... Just remember it next time. --- A typical rookie death, and tomorrow someone will copy this story.

This is a classic case of "itchy hands." Losing 90% of your principal in two days is really brutal. But to be honest, jumping in without a trading plan is just giving away money. The crypto world is all about falling for this trick.

Losing 88% in one day—that's the speed education of the crypto world... Losing so badly the next day, at least you didn't lose everything, so you're considered lucky. Can't even afford the transaction fee at this step, truly tragic. But the good news is you've had an epiphany; many people lose everything and still keep blindly trading. Entering the market without a plan is no different from gambling... this lesson is really expensive. Damn... from 0.44 to 0.005? I spit, that's so intense. Basically, it's your own greed that slapped you in the face; this is more painful than being cut by the project team. Didn't expect a crash so quickly? Welcome to the crypto world—this is the real market.

Oh no, losing money on the second day? That's why I haven't dared to get out of the market yet, brother. --- Going all-in without a plan, serves you right. You have to bear this responsibility yourself. --- From 0.44 to 0.005, what a terrible operation... The tuition is expensive. --- I knew it, the most common mistake for beginners is this—clicking randomly out of impatience, and ending up losing half of the fees. --- So, only disciplined people can survive and leave the exchange; others are cannon fodder. --- It's incredible, going from control to despair in just one day—what a harsh reality lesson. --- The problem isn't SOL, but that there's no trading system in your mind—pure gambling. --- Looking at this story, I feel lucky I haven't started yet; otherwise, I would be in the same situation now.
