From Zero to Crypto Millionaire: My Wild 6-Year Ride

I'm 35 now and jumped into crypto back in 2019 with 100K of my savings. Fast-forward to today? I'm sitting on over 10 million. Yeah, you read that right.

I've spent over 3100 days deep in the trenches of this insane market. Long positions, short plays, ultra-shorts, swing trading - I've done it all and watched most people fail spectacularly along the way. That famous 10,000-hour rule for mastery? Absolute truth in this game. Eight hours daily, 200+ days yearly for review - that's five years just to build your foundation. And even then, you're barely ready.

Let me tell you something nobody admits: most of those "experts" bragging about turning thousands into millions? They just got lucky with insane leverage and haven't faced a proper bear market yet. I've watched supposed geniuses get completely wiped out when the market turned. Human psychology is a bitch - when trends shift, even the smartest traders lose their minds.

The harsh reality? You can't change this market, and it's damn hard to change yourself - but only changing yourself offers any hope. There are no "what ifs" in crypto, only results. If you're losing money, you fucked up somewhere. If you're consistently profitable, you're doing something right. Simple as that.

Your mindset controls everything. Losing money isn't the problem - refusing to identify why you're losing is what kills you. Some traders would rather ignore their failures than confront them head-on. That's financial suicide.

The big exchanges won't tell you this, but most traders are just degenerate gamblers wearing suits. I've been there - watching charts until 4am, convinced I could outsmart the market. It's a dangerous delusion that costs people everything.

I don't usually share my journey, but there's too much bullshit advice out there from people who've never weathered a proper crypto winter. This market will test every emotional weakness you didn't know you had.

Want real advice? Master risk management first, position sizing second, and only then worry about entry points. The rest is just noise.
