A long climb. Crypto newbie’s bizarre adventures.
# Hello everyone, here's a new user.
I'm 45, Italian, have a job and a passion for narrative fiction that I dream can one day become a full-time profession. Till a few weeks ago, I thought I was smart enough and lived up to the times.

![sacrasm.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmeiCKmGMvy3jHRUVqrJo6avCV7vS58WDv5P6jr2oPYLnP/sacrasm.jpeg)


## Except I wasn't.

A guy I know, and who I thought had the intelligence level of a shoe, got rich with cryptocurrencies. Real rich. While I was busy being cocky and arrogant, the future had arrived: I was the dinosaur and he was the smart guy.

Once realized that, I slipped in deep **FOMO** and *FoDoSTRiSDKLMaBeMAWIHeMaTLO* - short version: **FODOSTRIS** (*"fear of doing stupid things by rushing into something I don't know at all, like many before me that I've heard many times and laughed about"* - original copyright, by the way).

I had to do something about it. So, I decided to take a look at this totally new stuff, at least for me: cryptocurrencies and trading. Without even realizing it, my journey had begun.

It's no bed of roses, most of the time I don't fully understand what I'm reading, and experiencing could cost me real money. I have become my mother, afraid that pressing the wrong button I could physically break the Internet.


![thinternet.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQRkSasbyaij1TTDip6oLUTBsocE9yozKmp8ZsdzQmGMh/thinternet.jpeg)


There is a whole universe of things I have to study and try a LOT and, being a writer, I've decided to share some shreds of my adventures, hoping that you can enjoy them (at least laughing at my expense).

Maybe my mistakes could even help someone, just like the one I'll tell you about in the next episode of Crypto newbie’s bizarre adventures:"the three thousand euro disappeared to Binance".
See you soon!

*P.S: the stairs' photo above has been shoot in "Sacra of San Michele", an ancient Abbey in north Italy almost 1000 mt above sea level, that inspired Umberto Eco's "The name of the Rose". Really a challenge to climb on it...*

Welcome and I wish you the best for your crypto adventures!

The 3000 disappeared to binance are totally relatable my friend, I am not a noob but I have been and I have lost a lot of money with cryptos, stocks, whatever, as you said FOMO and FODOSTRIS 😂 are definitely not helpful for the learning process! ahahah

Great to see you wanting to update with the current financial evolution! Welcome on board, once you see the huge advantages of cryptocurrencies and you'll start learning all the interesting stuff (DeFi, NFTs, Games, etc...) you'll wish to have gotten here sooner! 

Also careful! 🤪 We are in full bull season (I reckon the recent price action it's mainly FUD and manipulation but that is my humble opinion and I could be totally wrong 😅) I remember doing wrong decisions in the bull market of 2017, got burned and decided to get out of the whole crypto world for quite a bit, that is something I regret and I wish I had sticked with it! Don't be like me in 2017! 😁


The IT Crowd ❤️🤩

PS: Sono italiano anche io! Benvenuto 😎

Thank you dude, and sorry to hear about your misadventure. You're so right, I MUST be careful, it's all totally new for me, even the terms. I spent the last week repeating myself: "you don't know anything, don't do anything stupid". And, despite this, the very moment I started to understand some trading's basic concepts (just levels and resistances), I fell into temptation and invested real money in bitcoin. I didn't even downloaded the MT4 and I was already starting to feel myself too much involved. Well, I earned almost a ten percent, but I know I have been lucky, so now I stopped all activities and started study again. See you around fellow compatriot!
