After hustling in the crypto market for so long, my biggest takeaway is this: waiting gets you nowhere—you have to take action yourself.

No matter how good the market is or how many opportunities there are, if you’re not proactive, it’s all for nothing. The market will always fluctuate, but the ones who seize opportunities are those who genuinely put in the effort to research, analyze, and act.

So don’t count on luck. Those traders who seem to be doing great are actually paying the price of repeated trial and error, continuous learning, and even taking losses over and over again. That’s the rule of the game for adults—your returns are earned through your own effort.
