I started my Binance journey in 2019 with the hope of buying Bitcoin. Back then, I had no idea how cryptocurrencies worked. I created my account but didn’t even know how to verify it. P2P trading wasn’t available, and as a student without a card, I had no way to buy. Frustrated, I left my account idle.
In 2020, I returned and transferred Bitcoin from another platform. I started holding and trading on spot markets, but within six months, I faced my first big liquidation. Disheartened, I quit for three months. When I came back, I made the same mistakes—buying coins, holding too long, and eventually selling at a loss.
The cycle of quitting and returning continued for two years. At one point, I quit for four months. The main reason? Liquidations. Losing hard-earned money was frustrating, especially because I wasn’t following the rules I set for myself.
Then, I discovered the importance of journaling. I began recording everything—my trades, emotions, reactions, and lessons learned. It helped me reflect and improve, but old habits were hard to break. Even with a journal, I sometimes ignored my rules after a few wins, leading to the same mistakes and losses.
Trading taught me one crucial lesson: breaking one rule often leads to breaking all rules. More risk doesn’t guarantee more profit but often results in bigger losses. Discipline is the real key.
Now, after a year of staying consistent, I’ve learned to hold some coins for the long term and trade others for short-term gains. I’ve realized that patience is a trader’s best friend. Small profits and losses are part of the journey as long as I avoid big losses.
Binance Square has also become a significant part of my trading life. It’s a social network where traders share insights, learn from each other, and grow. No gossip, no distractions—just pure trading knowledge.
Right now, the market is extremely bullish, thanks to BTC approaching 100k. Altcoins are thriving too, and this phase will undoubtedly become another cherished memory of my journey.
In two lines, I’d sum it up like this: If you break one rule, you’ll forget all your rules. Big risks don’t guarantee big rewards but often lead to big losses if discipline isn’t applied and last the image below you see is not just merchandise but a dream
