When it comes to ZEC and crypto investing, I’ve seen too many newbies come in with stars in their eyes—double your money? Make a comeback? Financial freedom?

Wake up. You don’t even understand candlestick charts yet, and your wallet’s already empty.

Remember the most important rule: surviving is ten thousand times more important than making fast money.

Just use 100 USDT to get a feel for it. Don’t go all-in on impulse, and definitely don’t stubbornly hold onto losing positions without cutting your losses. If you can play steadily with that $100 for a month without getting wiped out, honestly, you’re already ahead of most people.

Newbies don’t lose because they’re dumb; it’s because they trust their gut too much. The problem is, the market has its own temperament—it doesn’t care what you think.

Want to survive long-term in this space? Just nail these two things:

Once you set a plan, can you stick to it?
When your emotions hit, can you keep them in check?

If you can’t do these two, even if you had $100,000, you’d just be handing it away.

The moment you start thinking “let’s risk it all to recover my losses,” that’s not trading anymore—it’s gambling with your life. In crypto, you lose more than just your principal; you lose your sanity.

The day you stop chasing pumps, stop acting out of frustration, and stop stubbornly holding onto losing trades, then you can slowly increase your position size. For most people, $10,000 is about the limit. Go higher? That’s not a technical issue—it’s whether your mindset can handle that pressure.

Stick around long enough and you’ll realize: the real pros aren’t the ones who get rich quick, but the ones who can stay steady.

You can’t control the market, but you can control yourself—and that’s enough.
