2025 was a real turning point for me in entering the crypto world. To be honest, I had no concept at all initially—things like spot trading, contracts, and candlestick charts were like a foreign language to me. Fortunately, I found a systematic set of learning resources, starting from basic market analysis and moving on to practical trading strategies, studying chapter by chapter.
Now I can independently operate spot trading of Bitcoin and Ethereum. The process was a bit bumpy, but the gains were significant. The three most important lessons: never go all-in right away, start with small amounts and practice repeatedly to find the feel; focus on data rather than being driven by emotions; having a smooth trading interface is crucial, and being able to quickly resolve issues is also very important.
Looking back over the year, from being clueless to being able to trade independently, I feel like I’ve opened the door to a new world. Let’s keep pushing in 2026!🚀

ngl the "don't yolo from day one" part hits different when you've watched people liquidate their entire stack in under 72 hours... statistically speaking, most retail traders blow up within the first quarter. solid that you're actually tracking data instead of just vibes though.

Not going all-in is exactly right; I just couldn't hold back and ended up losing.

Small-scale trial and error is correct. When I first entered the circle, I was greedy and went all in at once, losing everything down to my underwear.
Don't just look at the data. When Bitcoin's price rises, it's really hard to keep your emotions in check.
To be honest, the thrill of going all-in is addictive, but surviving in the long run is what makes you a winner.

I totally agree with small amount practice, otherwise a full gamble really results in total loss.
Don't be driven by emotions, that's right, I have lost before due to FOMO.
The smoothness of the trading interface really can affect your mindset, good tools are indeed valuable.
Spot trading is much more stable than futures, beginners should start this way.
From zero to being able to operate independently, this is indeed a qualitative leap, awesome.
In front of data, people's judgments are all trash, this is my biggest realization.
K-line charts still look a bit complicated now, but gradually it becomes easier.
Continuing to push in 2026, I hope everyone can make money.
People who go all-in often die the fastest, this is a very harsh truth.
Practicing with small amounts is really the smartest approach, you can't learn without taking some losses.
