Intro
This chapter reflects on twelve years in the cryptocurrency space, sharing personal insights, challenges, and key lessons learned. It emphasizes the importance of fundamental principles in crypto investing and contrasts this experience with insights from a featured Twitter thread.
Have you ever been tempted by the glittering world of crypto, with promises of easy money and astronomical gains? This week, I'm diving into a thread from someone who's been in that world for 12 years, detailing all their painful mistakes. From chasing ICOs and getting social engineered out of funds, to buying into DeFi bubbles and getting caught in exchange collapses, their story is a stark reminder of the risks involved. What can we learn from their journey, and how does it highlight the fundamental difference between chasing tokens and understanding Bitcoin? Join me as I dissect this cautionary tale and reinforce the simple lessons that could save you a world of pain.
