In the process of trying to be a future whales you could lost everything,trust me this got me no where and I realized that I've lost tons of money because I was never contented, be smart and always take advantage of any project that brings you profit, do not stare at your wallet and say 'im gonna be rich in 3 years later' this is 1% out of 100% chance that it's ever going to happen, remember, been rich isn't the most important part of our lives but living a good life is.
You are absolutely right, if you chase wealth and do not know how to make real profit in the process, you may not reach your goal. I have an acquaintance who dreamed of becoming a millionaire and saved up a lot of cryptocurrency for this, while he did not make a profit, but saved and saved everything until after 2017 the crypto market went down. As a result, instead of the profit received, it was left with a large amount of unclaimed cryptocurrency. This is a lesson that you don't need to chase after wealth, but you need to be able to take profit now. I, in turn, knowing this rule, tried to take profit immediately and could improve my life by buying myself the necessary things. Live now, profit now.
This happens a lot, as we know it is important to know when to get in this market but just as important it is to know when it is time to get out, and the end of 2017 was a clear time to get out of the market and many did not and kept holding their coins while smart money got out, the result? Those people lost a fortune in the process and even if they held to this day they will still be far away from recovering their money, this is why it is important to have a full strategy that tells you not only when to get in but also when to get out of markets.
