2023 was a wild ride in the crypto world, wasn't it? I mean, we experienced some significant drops that even expert HODLers found nerve-wracking.

On the flip side, some surges had champagne bottles popping, especially in Q2.

Despite the ups and downs, we gained some valuable insights along the way (and maybe made a few mistakes)

Where do I even begin? Here are the top 3 lessons I learned in '23 (and you most likely did too)

✅CZ Ain't No Superman: Remember when #Binance King CZ was crypto's golden boy? Yeah, so did I. It turns out that even the seemingly invincible can take a tumble.

2023 taught us that nobody's infallible in this space, not even the bigwigs. Anyone can make mistakes that could cost fortunes.

Eventually, he owned up to his wrongdoings and stepped down as CEO after the company agreed to pay over $4B in fines.

✅#Solana: From "Scam Coin" to "Sunrise Kingdom": Who wouldn't have called SOL a memecoin early last year?

Remember the massive blow it got after the fall of FTX? As “big” as it was, it fell from over $100 in early 2022 to below $10 in late that year.

There were a series of network outages and FUDs, too.

Well, SOL defied the odds, bounced back, & reclaimed its place as a top performer. Lesson? Don't write off projects too quickly. Innovation takes time, and sometimes even a phoenix needs a good nap before rising from the ashes.

✅BTC ain't budging: Despite all the drama, one thing remained the same: Bitcoin’s throne.

From increased institutional adoption to legal wins like Ripple beating the SEC to Grayscale winning the same SEC in court and multiple ETF applications (both BTC and ETH) flooding the SEC’s desk, BTC keeps proving it’s here to stay.

🙋‍♂️Not too late to say, “Happy New Year to you fans☺️!” This is another year of learning, adapting, and hopefully making some epic gains in #crypto.
