My Crypto Journey

I bought my first BTC in 2020 but it took another three years before I really got serious about trading and crypto.

Like most people who enter this space, I believed the hype and thought I’d get rich fast. How hard could it be, right? LOL.

It all started with a paid service that was also a multi-level marketing scheme. I threw money into random coins and started their courses on trading Forex and crypto.

Then came X (formerly Twitter). I followed a ton of influencers and only got more confused.

At the same time I started trading live. A few wins at first, then some losses, and finally I got completely rekt (wiped out and liquidated) on my first couple of accounts.

That’s when it hit me: this is not nearly as easy as everyone makes it sound.

So I stopped all leverage trading and just kept whatever coins I still had in spot wallets.

For the last 18 months I’ve been studying and learning. The very first and most important step was cleaning up my timeline. I unfollowed 99% of the “influencers” pumping garbage. Now I follow only about a dozen honest traders who actually educate people and post both their wins and losses instead of just yelling what everyone wants to hear.

At the same time I worked on myself. I spent a huge amount of time on inner development (still my favorite topic), meditating and clearing old trauma. It completely changed my outlook on life and made me far more emotionally stable.

If you’re serious about trading, you absolutely must work on your emotional stability at the same time. Otherwise you will fail.

Now I finally feel ready to step back into the ring. After a lot of thinking I decided to document the whole journey publicly from where I stand today, for anyone who wants to follow along.

For better or worse. No promises and no hype. I might succeed and I might not. You’ll get to watch whatever happens.

What I will NOT do:

• share signals
• tell you what to buy or sell
• shill coins for money

What I WILL do:

• explain exactly what I’m doing and why
• share my resources (who I follow, which exchanges I use, etc.)
• show every win and every loss
• probably host Spaces on X and lives on TikTok
• maybe create a course one day, but only if I actually become successful

I’m not rich. In fact, right now I have less money than at any other point in my life. So if you’re here for flexing watches, Lambos and penthouses, this is the wrong account.

But my mental state has never been better. This account will focus heavily on the psychological side of trading and how inner development can transform your results.
