Bitcoin is GOD
Experience without financial learning leads to huge losses. and I consider this also a reality, sometimes it tastes bitter and sweet. However, from what you wrote above, at least you need to have a good understanding of finances. As you said, it is recognized that the crypto space produces various characters and typicalities where we see many who achieve great success easily but still continue to fall into financial failure due to lack of knowledge.
Infact after aquiring wealth the person must have an understanding of financial education because getting money is one thing and managing the money is another area that is very important, otherwise the wealth will start to diminish until nothing will remain. Some people will sale their Bitcoin that they've been hodling for year in a bull run season, after cashing in on returns on years of investment, if they don't have a solid plan on what to do with all that money, they can spend it all on luxury items and partying, in the end if there's nothing else to fall back on financially they'll become poor. With financial education, the person will decide the percentage to use for enjoyment and luxury, then the rest has to be reinvested, so that the returns on investment will continue.
One thing I have always found to be very surprising is that people spend a great deal of time learning how to earn money, but very rarely will a person spend a significant amount of time trying to find ways to preserve the money they have made and accumulate it as wealth.

This is the reason you can find doctors that are making hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, and yet if you were to look at their financial statements you will see that they are effectively bankrupt, and this is because despite making so much money, they have no idea at all how to keep it and make it grow.

Yes, making money is one chapter, but managing it is another. Picture this: After winning Bitcoin, what's next? Your decision is crucial, friend.

Financial education is essential. Your financial future depends on post-windfall actions. The idea is simple but profound: some of your riches should fund your passions. However, the majority? That should boost your wealth. Not just saving, but smart reinvesting. Financial wellness relies on earning, enjoying, and reinvesting. A short-term thrill against a lifetime of financial security.

Actually it not just in cryptocurrency, almost in all professions, when their is a fail money management strategy, you are always bound to crumble at some point in time, so I think risk and money management is key in whatever profession or business you find yourself in.
Anyone can make money in business, but not everyone has the money management skill required to protect that money, which i do believe is the key.

Everyone makes mistakes, but only a few learns from them and dont make them twice. This is pretty naturual, and the same goes for the crypto world also. and that is why only few secure the money they make because they learn and the rest don't

Yea, I always say.... "It takes hard work to make a lot of money, but it is more difficult to keep it"

Example : When you are poor, you buy a small inexpensive car and house... the moment when you make a lot of money, you want to show other people that you made it and you splash money on a expensive car and a huge expensive house. Your insurance payments goes up... your property taxes goes up, you spend more on maintenance.... and that quickly eats through your money, if you do not fill up on the income side.

Yep. When you start making more money, there's often a temptation to upgrade your lifestyle like fancier car, bigger house, and all that. If you're not careful, those expenses can gobble up your earnings, leaving you with less to save or invest. So, it's all about finding that sweet spot between enjoying your success and making sure your money works for you in the long run.

When you say poor here in my country it means nothing but living in misery and is not able to even afford to buy a bike. 😁 I know poor people in United States or other first world countries are very different in those living in third world countries but yeah that's life.

I thought it was "work smart not hard" to become successful in life. Sometimes our mindset is what makes us poor. It actually happened to me once and I will never do that ever again.

I have heard of a lot of smart people who lack financial knowledge but remain successful because they are wise in other aspects. For instance, I have heard of individuals who made a huge profit from Bitcoin, and because they couldn't handle it, they just employed people to teach them or help them invest, and these experts helped them maintain this wealth, so they didn't fall back to square one. The fact is, even if one is not money-wise, they should be wise in other aspects.
I am not comfortable believing this story of yours you told. If someone had invested in Bitcoin and made huge amount of money he should be considered financially literate and not to meet any other person to teach him another type of investment in order not to return to poverty. I put it to you that anyone who is able to invest in Bitcoin and have good returns has already known the methods of investment and does not actually need to employ any other person to teach him where again to invest.

..and I disagree with your statement, I don't think holding BTC, making profits from it makes anyone even remotely financially literate. There are people who came across BTC first, got their feet wet here first before even having a bank account because they weren't aged enough to have it and BTC/Crypto is the only thing they know, nothing about investments in other sector whatsoever.

While in cryptos, most people lost their money because lack of knowledge e.g. invest in ponzi, trust in centralized exchange, and invest in altcoins.
In crypto, many may encounter financial losses due to wrong decisions, such as not holding or selling too early. Some may hold onto assets, believing their value won't decrease, while others might make regrettable choices like buying questionable coins with their Bitcoin or Ethereum. I mention this because I've personally experienced it, and no matter how much I blame myself, I can't undo the past. It's essential to accept it, move on, and learn from the experience.

Such a good thinking, I applaud OP for this writing up, because we all think about it but not everyone says it. It is true that it is quite easy to make money in the crypto world, I have seen plenty of people who made money in the crypto world before as well and this isn't really that shocking, it should feel like something that has to be a bit different.

I think the point here is that a lot of people could make a profit, but then we need to end up with a lot better results on the long run, like keep earning that money and most don't, most people just end up with a loss. I think we should consider the point of this thinking that we need to figure out a more long term income method that way we could do better eventually.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody
It all depends how you see this. I'm a kind of guy who was always back and forth with "making money" because I had bitcoin since 2014 and in 2017 I was up a lot, then 2018 happened and on paper I lost it all, but I kept holding, so in my mind I haven't lost anything. Some people call it unrealized loss or unrealized profit - I call it: I don't give a F.
IMO bitcoin is worth at the very least $50k at the moment and if they dump it down to 30, I'm not going to give it to them at that price.

I was reading coinconfessions, and it occurred to to me that most of those who are in crypto go through a phase where they make lots of money, but eventually lose it all or most of it due to wrong decisions taken due to having lack of financial knowledge.

Some start fresh with lessons learned and make it back, for some having huge unexpected money come and gone creates a downward spiral that they feel hard to get out of, almost like they were better off not having this unexpected wealth come in first place.

This is what is called crypto market selection, those who survive are only those who are able to improve their performance well, while those who leave usually only think crypto is the fastest way to make money, they don't realize that this kind of thinking is the thinking of a gambling player.

The crypto community is now quite strong, so don't hesitate and be embarrassed to ask when there is something that is stuck in your mind, as long as it is useful for your investment decisions. advice for beginners, crypto is not the same as a gambling game, crypto is complex and requires carefulness to avoid losses, don't enter the crypto market if you don't have a strong intention to learn.

Unfortunately, this is true

We have to acknowledge that aside from gaining money, one thing that is hard is maintaining the money people who get wealthy probably feel as if money will never run out that is why they tend to make a lot of poor financial decisions these people often put their unnecessary wants as a priority instead of thinking of ways how to further gain money from the money they have just gained

Financial illiteracy is a common thing all around the globe. A lot of people cannot manage their finances properly because they don't have financial management skills and such people can't manage wealth if they manage to get it from somewhere by luck or inherited from their elders because I believe that a person with no financial literacy cannot make wealth himself. To run a business, or make successful investment decisions, you need to know how things with finances are done.

So, it's not just about people in the cryptocurrency market who earn and lose money because they can't manage their money or the inflow of money, such people can be found in any industry or any walk of life. Such are the people who are good at 9 to 5 jobs and spending a life that goes around in a circle repeating the same things every day, week, month, and year.

It's not just about cryptocurrency, no matter what kind of business you are going to do, if you don't manage it properly or understand it, you will face a lot of loss at some point, so before doing anything, have a good idea about it or have a good understanding about it and then make your investment.  If you do then you can come out with profit from that place

Indeed anyone who is not for it to take financial drastic measures in setting up reputable bankrolls and take control of its financial expenditures are not fit in for the crytop journey because you would definitely be tastefully whispered to sell your coins with the lost of the goal of making profits.
Some Bitcoin investors who could not withstand to hold their coins for a longer time is not just because there was no alternative source of incomes but basically on a serious note that they lack the basic skills of financial managements to consider that the funds invested is literally to produce more money including setups considering a goal for the future.

Goodnight, o_e_l_e_o 🌹
Money management has always been a problem, with people failing. As Helena Yu said, it doesn't just happen in the crypto world; it happens in almost every industry. People then try to impress the world with luxurious lifestyles that cost them almost everything, living the rest of their lives in regret.
I have listened to a financial advisor and there was a statement that he made that made me think twice and even till today I am still ruminating the statement. He said that it is more difficult to keep money but easier to make money. He went further to say that if you check many people around you they have handled thousands and millions at a particular time in their life but then they were unable to keep this money till another time of their life that they are unable to see such amount of money again. At a point I had to agree with the advisor. Money is hard to make but harder to sustain but in all it is very easy to spend.

I have heard of a lot of smart people who lack financial knowledge but remain successful because they are wise in other aspects. For instance, I have heard of individuals who made a huge profit from Bitcoin, and because they couldn't handle it, they just employed people to teach them or help them invest, and these experts helped them maintain this wealth, so they didn't fall back to square one. The fact is, even if one is not money-wise, they should be wise in other aspects.
