I don’t like people who talk too much are mostly words we hear from people who talk too much. You can’t stand someone for the same quality or weakness that you have? Some people talk too much but when you listen to them you will get to know that most of the things they say are sensible. One very fine example is Donald trump whom I believe a lot of people didn’t like because of his shitty talk sometimes(believe me I was part of them). But then if you approached Donald Trump's videos or his interviews with an open mind and clear head you might begin to like him.
I don’t have a problem with people who talk “too much” but I have a problem with people who always want to stay relevant by talking. Some people only talk and talk but never ever learn to listen to people. This is very important, try to listen to people as there is a lot you can learn from people even if it’s a child.
When I saw this topic the first word that came to mind was **cryptocurrency**, Why? It has changed a lot in my life. I can say that I entered the cryptocurrency space too late but I still gotta say I had to wait and learn. If I was given 15 minutes to give a speech to an audience I will tell them everything that I knew about cryptocurrency, I know it will be hard as I have only done public speaking once or twice. But then again once or two times is enough practice for me to kill the show.

At this same time last year, I started my cryptocurrency journey. Just like any newbie in the cryptocurrency space I made a lot of mistakes which didn’t go down well with me. I made and entered positions in haste without understanding what I was doing. I can remember how it took me weeks to understand what a SL and tp(stop loss, take profit) is. The same time I didn’t even know how to set it on a trade. All that I knew was to be looking at the chart all day and then when the coin is rising I buy it.
Another mistake, I was so scared of dips, I thought dips were my enemy and buying coins at that time was a waste of resources. I can still remember how I thought btc was never going down from 69k. I saw a lot of these twitter peeps saying btc to 100k and I was so bullish on btc.
Maybe the next mistake that I made was to try and learn about cryptocurrency in a bull market, but then if I had entered in a bearish market am sure I would have been gone by now. This is something which happened to a friend. Unlike me he didn’t take his time to study the market and some very important things in the market. All he knew was that BTC is up and then he will make money by buying it, when it started crashing he couldn’t believe his eyes cause he never expected it.

This same friend who was so bullish ended up leaving the cryptocurrency space early and the other day when I tried inviting him back and trying to tell him how this was the time to stack up more coins, he didn’t seem to like my idea very much. From his own words, he couldn’t be dealing with a coin that goes down so hard at crucial times and make him loose his money.
I think to enjoy something you need to spend time in understanding it. And the best decision we can make for ourselves right now is to invest our time and money into understanding the crypto space as there are much more investment opportunities rather than just buying and selling.
Yeah, so there you go. If I was given 15 minutes to talk about something I will talk about my journey in the crypto space, lessons I have learnt and the things I will do better if I was given the chance to start all over and things to come for me.
