I could have been sitting at maybe $20k profit since I began my infoFI journey until today; of course, that's if I had made the right decision, which I didn't.
$20k is not life-changing, but it's mind-blowing and a lot of money and can do a lot, but I messed a lot of decisions up, and I've made more terrible decisions than the right one.
Although I can say these mistakes have added to my cache of experiences, I wish I didn't have to learn this way. I wish I had already secured what I needed to secure, and I wouldn't have minded.
If I made mistakes, that wouldn't have mattered. However, when we learn lessons that really do not matter, they do not go on to shape the core of our various essences...
Wouldn't you like to have some type of inside info? Everyone wants that. Why? It gives you an edge over 99% of people.
Donald Trump
Donald Trump is currently bending the market however he wants, giving this inside information to his trading buddies and White House golf course friends, these people are literally making millions of dollars off of the market by simply being friends with Donald Trump, and then you have people who have been liquidated every day simply because they try to play with the markets in order to change their fortune.
Did these people make mistakes for trying to become rich from crypto? No. Without risk we can literally do nothing in life—not growth, experience, money, a good life, health, or success.
The biggest problem in life is not having enough information. n, the more information you have, the more you can bend life to suit your narrative.
However, having information comes at a huge cost. This is why the people who have the best information in life are always the smartest, the richest, or the most influential.
The reason why it is even unfair is because in the history of humankind the only information that can bend the will of time and restructure the present and the future is in the hands of 1% of people, or even fewer. r.
This is why we have class difference.
If everybody had the same type of knowledge, it would make knowledge virtually useless and not valuable to protect or cash in on. A lot of people do not really know that power is a money printer.
Nowadays a man can change the narrative of crypto when they have power, and that is because of institutional and government involvement with crypto in 2025. The Chinese, the Americans, and the Germans are holding Bitcoin or other digital assets, and you just need a trade war to trigger people to begin selling off.
This is because the market is an emotional game and no longer as exclusive as Satoshi aimed it to be 1515 years ago. And in reality crypto is not meant to be like this. It was meant to be beyond the control of government.
However, because of regulatory involvement and the billions of dollars being poured into Bitcoin and other assets, it It has now become possible to sway the idea of centralization into an asset that should somewhat be a decentralized commodity for the common man.
I have literally watched tens of thousands of dollars pass me by, simply because I didn't make a move when others did, Why? I simply didn't have enough information to take the chance. In started my infoFI journey officially in January and within 10 months
I've seen the lives of the people I know
change so much in a short time.
I still find myself making the wrong decisions at every turn.
Catching the golden in the midst of billions is not easy, and this is why I forgive myself: you constantly need to keep trying to get lucky; sometimes you get lucky in the short term, sometimes you need the long term to get lucky. Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to be lucky the first time...
If you don't have the right inside information (which many do not have), I guess you just have to continue to live with yourself and hope it works out for you.
You can't make all the calls right, too many factors are out of your control. Sure having some inside info would be nice to have before a big move was coming, but the majority of us just don't have access to that... I could have played my cards better as well, we all could have but oh well. No use crying over spilled milk as they say.
Hopefully we'll catch that next golden goose, but there's always going to be a factor of luck in it as well! So forgive yourself for missing the right call and get ready to make better ones at the next big opportunity!

True. I saw people who made that right calls profit heavily and I didn't really see the signal or catch it when they did. This could have been great, because I could pay my bills and make a few financial decisions that could have made life easier for me at this point.
My work partner also complained about this, indeed I understand her frustrations as well, there was money to be made and we manage to mess it all up, because weren't smart enough.
I'm holding on to hope, these hospital visits needs a lot of money
Sometimes you can have the right information and still not act when the time comes.
This is true, and that's taking being unlucky to another level
There are words to justify this: FUD, paralysis of analysis, distractions, etc. Doesn't make it easier when it happens.
You are catching the point, crypto were born to give people freedom from government, to be something aside, now politics are controlling it... One tweet and crypto crash or pump... Rich gets richer, and that will never change...
Me and you will never have the inside info, it is more of a lottery now with trump
One thing life has taught me is to take chances. Another thing is that opportunities will always arise...so don't beat yourself up too much
It would have been impossible for me to have been ruined by the massive market downturn on 10th or 11th October, because, I keep 70% of my trading funds in the funding wallet and 10% in spot and only 10% in futures for trading. This is because I've experienced market fluctuations that didn't recognize stop loss placements. So if those happen again I lose only 10% of my trading money at the most. Then I can fund my futures account again from the spot or funding account. It's better for me that way.
I hope you recover from your losses and start making better informed decisions in your InfoFI journey. You can try to lay out each failure on paper and decide what exactly you did wrong that caused the failure. It might help. The other is getting a lot of information from people who are already successful in the field.
Don't ever risk more than you can afford to lose. Manage your risks so much that several losses won't wipe out your capital and when the losing streak ends you can enter the winning streak. I hope your health has stablized.
information is key to making the right decision
I think it just depends, but I agree that the markets move whenever Trump does something. It sucks to see, but I think it might be a good idea to take some profit now and then. I think you can still learn from this and make a better choice next time.
It's even unfortunate that the person most of us felt could make crypto favour us turned out to always manipulate the market anyhow he wants it, toiling with people's emotions ..lol
Missed opportunity is normal, We can't always get it right , so we just hv to keep trying, no need being hard on ourselves , one day we go dey lucky
