I just entered the crypto world two weeks ago with a principal of $300 and started my journey. In the first few days, I was quite disciplined, strictly following my plan, steadily making progress like ants moving house. Within ten days, my account doubled. Seeing the numbers grow, my mindset started to become a bit cocky.

Yesterday was the turning point. On a whim, I treated the exchange like a casino, constantly pushing my chips in, thinking I was "seizing the opportunity." But what happened? The market's fluctuations wiped out all my profits from the previous ten days. From the excitement of doubling my money, I suddenly fell into a loss.

Now that I’ve calmed down, I realize—discipline is something you don’t care about most of the time, but it can be deadly at critical moments. It's easy to lose composure when making money, and once you forget the bottom line of risk control, the market won't show mercy. Although this lesson came at a high cost, it’s also experience bought with real money. Moving forward, I will definitely remember this feeling.
