I also experienced big losses in 2018 and 2019, moreover my investment in altcoins the losses were very large and made me stressed. Maybe
because at that time I was too influenced by other people's opinions, and I followed various trading groups. Therefore, it is very important to do
our own research and analysis, so that we can make better decisions. Instead of following other people's signals which may not be 100%
accurate, sometimes other people provide those signals for their own benefit. Because usually the owner of the trading group gives signals to buy
certain coins, even though he has bought the coins before. So never rely on other people to make decisions when we buy coins, we ourselves
must be able to analyze the market, when should we enter the market.
Yeah, I think the best thing about that period for those of us who were new is that we learned a lot about hype. Yes, I also lost a lot, and won some, and in the end I think it was a net loss if you count in all the hours and days put into research and all that. So never mind, we lost time and money but this made me immune to all the memecoin and defi and now nft hype, and just focus into saving as much Bitcoin as possible.
Research is impossible if you have a mindset that projects are honest when they're mostly not.
