From my point of view I have done good in trading. Choosing some project is very easier for me but I had made real and big mistake that I haven't hold any coin for some big profits. My patience is very poor quality. Without patience nobody can change their lifes in cryptocurrencie.
Exactly, earlier this year I had a feeling binance coin would do great and picked interest in investing in it. Bought a couple with some friends and it begins to give us profit. Initially I wanted to hold until the end of year but due to the pressure of securing profit before a sudden market crash, we lost the opportunity to be among those happily rejoicing because of the return of investment their investment has given.
Whats funny was that I brought up the idea of buying the BNB and it was very early in February, BNB was just trading around $40 that means judging from the current price we should have been seating on 10x+ our investment right now. The lesson here is to invest individually so you can call all the shot and not combining with friends to invest.
I also had the same feeling for Polkadot, back when it was worth $5-6 at most. I bought a few along with a friend, which persuaded me into selling not long after our purchase, during a market crash. Now it's proudly at approximately $40 each.
It's best to avoid such moves with anyone, friends or acquaintances, none of us can really predict what might happen, while at the same time, affect us in making a decision that we possibly wouldn't make.
