Crypto has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever tried to figure out and when I look back at how I got here it almost doesn’t feel real. It’s not just about trading coins or timing the market, it’s about sitting in front of a screen night after night trying to make sense of something that feels like chaos. I’ve read charts until my eyes hurt and forced myself to keep going when I felt completely lost. I’ve lost it all before, watched gains I thought would change my life disappear overnight, round tripped trades that went from euphoria to heartbreak in a matter of days. The emotional side of that is brutal. You feel sick, angry at yourself, doubting if you even belong here. You wonder if you’re just wasting your time, if you’re fooling yourself thinking you could ever figure this game out. But even in those lowest moments, I couldn’t walk away. I had to pick myself back up, swallow the pain, and keep learning because quitting wasn’t an option. Before all this I was stuck in the 9 to 5 grind and it was draining me to my core. Every day felt like I was giving pieces of myself away just to stay afloat. I’d sit in interviews with people who were stuck up, playing games, bargaining over a thousand bucks on a salary while my soul was screaming for something more. I knew I couldn’t do that for the rest of my life. Doing my own thing wasn’t some bold choice, it was my last resort. I was at a breaking point. I needed to bet on myself because the alternative felt like slowly dying. I’ve taken losses that made me sick to my stomach. I’ve questioned myself more times than I can count. I’ve sat there watching red candles wondering if I was stupid for ever believing in this space. And then on the flip side I’ve had small wins that reminded me why I was here, little moments that gave me the strength to keep pushing. Those wins never come easy though, they are the result of all the hours nobody sees. The trial and error, the studying, the constant grind of learning and adapting. People outside of this space think it’s luck. They think you just buy something and hope it moons. But the truth is it’s a marathon of discipline and learning. You are constantly teaching yourself new ways to look at things, learning from mistakes that hurt, and trying to stay one step ahead of a market that never sleeps. It takes a toll. It drains you. But it also forces you to grow in ways you didn’t think were possible. And then, after all of that, when things finally click and the success comes, it feels unreal. That moment where the charts make sense, the strategy works, and you see your hard work paying off, it’s like nothing else. All those sleepless nights, all the pain of losing, all the doubt and frustration suddenly feel worth it. That feeling of finally making it on your own terms, of proving to yourself that you can do this, is something no 9 to 5 could ever give me. If you’re still here you know exactly what I mean. It’s not just about making money, it’s about becoming someone who can survive this. And that comes from the late nights, early mornings, the lessons, the losses, and the endless hours of work that nobody else will ever really see.
@firehustle_net After more than 10 years in crypto, I couldn't agree more 😂
@firehustle_net lets be honest - you nailed it. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work and believe in yourself! ♥️
@firehustle_net Beautifully said! When I first started learning about crypto, I would cuss at the videos that were trying to teach me. But overtime I understood more and more. There were many nights. I woke up in a cold sweat wondering if I was doing the right thing. I know the feeling to well
HELLS TO THE F*CKING YEAH!!! THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE BACKSTORY SUMMARY OF A SUCCESS STORY. Just know, whatever happens... I Believe in you. Don't always agree with your words (this definitely isn't one of those moment), even get frustrated on some of your message delivery, but I ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOU.... - Rai Savage.
@firehustle_net I totally get that feeling - it's a whole different world! I actually learned a lot from @MilesStephensA6's breakdowns when I was starting out.
