(Please don't end up like the guy on the picture!)📢ATTENTION!This will potentially be the most in-depth post you've EVER seen on this topic!👀Following these key lessons will empower you to navigate the upcoming Bull Run with CONFIDENCE!🔥Are you ready?Let's dive into it!👇Let me be real here.As we all know, crypto offers us UNLIMITED LIFE-CHANGING OPPORTUNITIES...However, there are also unlimited ways to get absolutely REKT in crypto as a beginner!The good news?I will tell you exactly what the biggest traps are!Let's start.✅1) FOMO (and buying into pumps)FOMO, or fear of missing out, is a powerful emotion that can lead to horrible investment decisions.In a bull market it's easy to get caught up in the excitement & buy coins even after they have pumped to crazy highs...This is a recipe for disaster.The solution?Buy crypto in "boring" phases.You need to be able to identify accumulation zones.That's where the most strategic buys are made.Like that, you won't get rekt!Accumulation zones are areas in the chart where smart money accumulates their positions before parabolic pumps happen.The risk to reward ratio for an investment is the most favourable right there!Once you are able to successfully identify accumulation zones, you are already one step ahead of the crowd.✅2) NOT HAVING ENOUGH PATIENCEMany do not have the patience to hold for a long amount of time in this space.The majority of market participants only want instant gratification!Lots of people have completely false expectations.Keep in mind: the majority of your gains come AT THE END OF THE CYCLE in the mania phase.We're still far away from that point.This is when altcoins experience the most parabolic pumps!I've seen many sell way too early in the last bull market losing out on making generational wealth!But be aware...Don't hold onto your bags for too long, which brings us to the next point.✅3) NOT TAKING PROFITSIt's easy to get greedy in a bull market & hold on to your coins even after they have made significant gains.When euphoria is at its highest is when the majority of investors become complacent and don't see any warning signs anymore...If you see warning signs in the charts you absolutely need to get out of the market!Not taking profits along the way is probably how most people mess up their first crypto cycle.As a beginner it's hard to imagine your coin retracing up to 99% from the top.However, this is the reality that nearly all altcoins face after a huge bull market.That's why taking profits is so important!✅4) NOT LEARNING TECHNICAL ANALYSISNot having a basic understanding of TA is one of the biggest mistakes you can possibly make in crypto!Sure, right now many can get away with just buying into pumps and holding on for the majority of the bull run.If you have bought into a local top lately, it will likely be fine as the Bull Run will run its course and altcoins will make incredible gains.However, if you don't have a clue how to analyse charts, how will you even know when to take profits at the end of the bull run?How will you recognize when conditions have changed from bullish to bearish?At some point a huge bear market will start and the majority of investors will lose out!Especially at the end of the bull run Technical Analysis will be the most important factor when deciding to take profits!Throughout the last year I have provided regular TA updates on high quality altcoins.We have caught several coins right at the bottom before they pulled a 5x, 10x or even 20x.A few examples have been $TAO, $ZEPH, $KAS, $RIO and $SPACE.I make these TA posts not only to mark out potential profitable buy zones...I want you to LEARN from these posts and then use this secret knowledge to your advantage in the crypto market.✅5) SECURITYAnother way to potentially fail in crypto is having all your coins on centralized exchanges.Or even worse on ONLY 1 centralized exchange!What happens when you get hacked or the exchange suddenly closes down?Do you remember how devastating the FTX crash was?Billions of dollars worth of user funds were lost!You need to take the right security measures!Remember, not your keys, not your crypto.Instead of storing your coins on centralized exchanges, use secure decentralized storage options such as Hardware Ledger devices.✅6) PANIC SELLINGIf you don't have enough conviction in your investments, it's more likely that you panic sell if the market suddenly takes a huge dump.You need to do proper research into your investments before buying into them to avoid panic selling.Also, selling altcoins while they are in their accumulation phase for example is one of the worst things you can possibly do!Often times after panic selling, price instantly reverses.While inexperienced investors sell their coins, whales buy them.✅7) BUYING MEMECOINSMemecoins will eventually go to zero.The sooner you understand this, the better!Sure, some investors might get lucky with a memecoin and pull a 1000x.But how likely is that for most market participants?The odds are stacked against you!While a few lucky gamblers make a 1000x, the majority lose everything!If you want to be a serious investor, you need to focus on altcoins with strong fundamentals.Factor in points like these for example:- Is the tech revolutionary?- Has the coin made key partnerships?- Are the tokenomics favourable?- How strong is the community?- Relevant narrative? (AI, RWA, Gaming etc)✅8) LEVERAGETrading with leverage in crypto can seem exciting and like a huge opportunity to make fast gains.But for beginners, it's risky.What seems like fun can quickly become a nightmare.As crypto is extremely volatile, many aren't prepared for the wild swings in the market and eventually get liquidated.But it's not just about losing money, it's also about how it makes you feel!Worrying all the time, feeling anxious and regretting your choices.Don't get me wrong.Leverage can be a powerful tool to make money in crypto.However, for beginners, this is INCREDIBLY RISKY!If you haven't mastered TA yet, don't touch leverage!✅9) NOT BEING ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR BIASIn crypto, sticking to your beliefs without considering new information can be a big mistake.The crypto market can change FAST, so you need to stay open to new ideas.If you're too stubborn to change your mind, you might miss out on good opportunities or worse, lose money.Being flexible and willing to adjust your thinking can help you make smarter decisions and avoid big losses in the fast-paced world of crypto.For many it will be hard to admit once the Bull Run will finally be over.They will get sucked into the euphoria at the highs and won't even realize how their gains slowly evaporate...Especially being able to change your thesis from bullish to bearish is incredibly hard for most.✅10) NOT HAVING THE RIGHT NETWORK"Your network is your networth!"You might have heard this a million times already but I can tell you, it's 100% true!There are several accounts I trust in this space that provide quality alpha.
