A bull run or even an “altseason” won’t help you succeed if you keep making these mistakes:
Following the Crowd and Entering Too Late
Buying tokens after everyone is already talking about them often means you’re buying at the peak.
Fix it: Spot trends early by tracking metrics like Total Value Locked (TVL), trading volume, and on-chain data.
Chasing Every Narrative
Jumping from RWAs to AI, then to memecoins leaves you with no focus or strategy.
Fix it: Stick to 2-3 narratives that resonate with you and research them deeply.
Investing Without Understanding
Blindly buying tokens because someone hyped them on Twitter is a quick path to losses.
Fix it: Always read the whitepaper, evaluate the tokenomics, and research the team and community.
Falling for “Guaranteed 100x” Promises
Scams thrive during bull runs, preying on greed with unrealistic claims.
Fix it: Invest only in projects with real products, active development, and strong fundamentals.
Neglecting Risk Management
Going all-in on one token or overusing leverage can wipe out your portfolio.
Fix it: Diversify your investments and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
Lacking a Profit Strategy
Selling too early out of fear or holding too long out of greed are costly mistakes.
Fix it: Set clear profit targets and stick to them. Gradually sell parts of your position at key milestones to secure gains while leaving room for upside.
Ignoring Emerging Trends
Clinging to outdated ideas while new technologies like AI or DePIN reshape the market puts you at a disadvantage.
Fix it: Stay updated on the latest trends and explore new protocols early.
Overtrading
Constantly moving in and out of positions wastes time, incurs fees, and increases stress.
Fix it: Focus on high-conviction plays and avoid unnecessary trades. Patience often pays off more than constant action.
Confusing Luck with Skill
A few successful trades can lead to overconfidence and reckless decisions.
Fix it: Maintain a trading journal, analyze your mistakes, and stick to a well-defined strategy.
