Why are you back here? Let me put it briefly; After graduating from high school in 2015, I was introduced to cryptocurrencies. At the time, exchanges like Poloniex and Bittrex were popular. I bought 2.5 BTC for $500 from a local exchange, though I don’t even remember where I got the money. There was almost no information available online, very few people discussing it on Twitter, hardly any published articles, and just one or two videos on YouTube. (At least in my country.) I didn’t know how to trade cryptocurrencies or how order types worked, so I learned everything by trial and error. And with that trial and error, I lost a lot of money.

By the time the 2017 crash hit, I was nearly wiped out. Later, Binance entered the scene, and I continued trading there. But I was also very busy with my studies. I ended up putting all my funds into a token I liked on Binance and deleted the app. Months later, when I reopened my account, I found that the token had been delisted yet another blow. I sold whatever was left, bought a phone, and decided to leave crypto behind. After stepping away, I missed some major bull runs, but I didn’t care because I had already walked away. Still, there was always this feeling of something missing inside me, a thought trying to pull me back in. I questioned whether this was simply a desire for easy money. But I realized it wasn’t easy for me at all, I couldn’t make money effortlessly. Back when I knew nothing, I had money (from my allowance); but when I knew a lot, I had no money. It just didn’t feel fair. (continued 👇)
