Buy pTokens BTC (pBTC)

Hey traders, Muhammad Rehan here! I’ve been in the trading game since 2019 and my journey started just like most of you—dreaming of getting rich overnight.
Back then, I was so confident in crypto’s potential that I went all in—I sold my car and bought two Bitcoins! At that time, I had no idea how the crypto market worked. I started trading with those two BTC, thinking I was on my way to financial freedom.
A week later, I lost almost everything. Panic took over and I cashed out the little I had left, only to watch Bitcoin’s price skyrocket right before my eyes. Frustrated but determined, I came back with another $5,000, and guess what? This time, it took me a whole month to lose it all. LOL.
Looking back, I now understand exactly why I kept losing: I had no clue what I was doing! My understanding of the market was as basic as “Green candle = Buyers, Red candle = Sellers.” And that’s why I failed.
The Game-Changing Lessons I Learned
1. The Market Moves in a Certain Way—Learn It!
Coming from a computing background, I compare this to learning a programming language like Python or PHP. If you want to make a computer do what you want, you have to learn the language it understands. Trading is the same! To navigate the market, I had to learn Technical Analysis (TA).
I spent months watching content, analyzing charts, and slowly, the market started to make sense. Since then, my approach to trading has changed completely. Fast forward to today—I’ve been trading profitably for nearly five years and am now among the top 5% of traders by trading volume in 2025 on Binance! Yahaaay! 🚀
Lessons I Learned from My Early Struggles
You are never smarter than the market. Thinking you can predict every move without proper knowledge is a surefire way to lose money.Revenge trading doesn’t work. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll just keep losing. Emotional decisions lead to disaster.Without technical analysis, you’re just gambling. Crypto is NOT a casino—unless you treat it like one. And guess what? The house always wins!Find the right mentor. Learning from someone experienced can help you avoid costly mistakes and speed up your progress.
Lessons I Learned After Becoming Profitable
Risk management is key. Never risk more than 1% of your account on a single trade.Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win—stay patient. Losing is part of the process, but consistency matters more than a single trade.Don’t stare at the charts all day. Open your trade, set your SL (Stop Loss) and TP (Take Profit), and enjoy life. Just monitor your trade every few hours from your phone.If you lose 3 trades in a day, stop trading. Take a break, reset, and come back tomorrow with a fresh mind.Trading is a journey, not a get-rich-quick scheme. The process takes time, but it’s more rewarding than any other business in the world!
Final Thoughts
That’s it, guys! I hope this can motivate you if you’re at the beginning of your trading journey. If I could turn things around, so can you!
Let me know in the comments—what’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned in trading? 👇🔥

The official Trump meme coin is currently hovering around $16.50 — a far cry from its $75 peak. Whether insiders cashed in or traders got rugged, one thing is certain: President Donald Trump reportedly made a killing.

According to the New York Times, the Trump family and various partners raked in nearly $100 million in trading fees. And guess what? Most of that hasn’t even been cashed out yet.

Recall how Trump launched the coin just three days before taking office, seemingly indicating that a new revenue stream was among his presidential priorities.

Make-America-Great-Again supporters embraced it. At the very least, it was another way for Trump to monetize the MAGA brand — just like he had done with hats, NFTs, a DeFi platform, sneakers and bibles.

After all, meme coins — of which the total market cap hovers $100 billion — operate in a free-for-all market where early investors, or insiders, drive up prices before bailing, leaving latecomers with zilch.

Famous people (i.e. Hawk Tuah Girl and Andrew Tate) who attached themselves to these coin launches are often scrutinized for this type of activity. The Trump family is no different. However, the president’s endorsement of an “Official Trump” token attracted a lot of first-time crypto buyers, as reported by Axios. And Trump, as president, is in a position to change regulatory oversight around cryptocurrency in a way that he sees fit.

Trump’s critics understandably called it a conflict of interest, but the ones really feeling the pain are Trump’s own supporters.

Take Shawn M. Whitson, a small business owner from North Carolina. On Inauguration Day, he was stoked: “Today, we take our country back!” he posted, celebrating both Trump and his $TRUMP investment. Fast-forward a few weeks, and reality set in. “Done with this $TRUMP crap,” he declared, calling it “a joke.”

Some of the most prominent voices in the crypto community, including SkyBridge founder Anthony Scaramucci and Stephen Findeisen (aka Coffeezilla), almost immediately called Trump out for what he perceived to be a classic pump-and-dump grift: Big players buy-in, hype it up, then cash out—leaving smaller investors in financial ruin.

There’s currently no hard evidence that Trump or his associates manipulated the price of Official Trump.

However, the Times shared data from Nansen, as well as Chainalysis and researcher Molly White, who pointed to at least one account that purchased $1,096,109 million in $TRUMP three hours before Trump launched the coin.

The anonymous account jettisoned the coins, making a $50 million profit, said Nansen analyst Aurelie Barthere.

Later sales increased their profits to $109 million, White told the Times.

And another trader who began buying $TRUMP just two minutes after it was launched, netted $2.7 million.

For those keeping score: 700,000 wallets raked in gains on the Trump token. The real winners? 31 early traders who collected $669 million in profits in just days.

But where there are winners, there are… well, 813,294 not-so-lucky wallets. In the first 19 days of trading, these folks either cashed out at a loss or held onto their coins as they nosedived. Collectively, they’re sitting on $2 billion punch to the gut considering how far the coin plummeted in value.

The Trump family isn’t letting the meme coin backlash derail other business ventures it has in the works. They recently unveiled TruthFi, an investment platform that aims to be “a competitive alternative to woke funds.”
