Every time the market rises, I feel the urge to buy at the peak.

At 30 years old, alone and seeking stability, cryptocurrencies came into my life on the recommendation of a college friend. At first, it seemed like an exciting opportunity, but soon I got carried away by FOMO. With a modest salary after graduating, I started investing without a strategy, buying at the peaks and getting stuck in subsequent drops.

The more the market rose, the more I risked, believing that success was guaranteed. But losses quickly piled up, along with sleepless nights, stress, and a constant blow to my confidence. In 2024, I managed to recover something, but the lack of planning led me to lose it all again.

At my worst moment, I confessed my situation to my parents. Against my fears, they did not judge me, but offered support. It was a reminder that, although markets are unpredictable, there are always ways to start over with a more conscious approach. $AVA $USUAL
