5 hard lessons I learned in 5 years in crypto:
1. **Hype fades, fundamentals win** – Chasing trends without research leads to wreckage.
2. **Patience beats panic** – Market cycles test emotions more than logic.
3. **If it sounds too good to be true, it is** – Scams thrive on greed.
4. **Taking profits is a skill** – Paper gains mean nothing if you don’t cash out.
5. **Surviving > Maximizing gains** – Those who last the longest win the most.
