Confession time. I've sinned... in the markets.

1. Pride – Held onto losers because “I can't be wrong.” (Looking at you, $CRCL.)

2. Greed – Doubled down on a spike, thinking it'd 5x. It didn't. It halved.

3. Lust – Chased trending tickers because they looked “hot” on Fintwit. Regret followed.

4. Envy – Bought $MSTR near the highs after watching someone else profit. Painful lesson.

5. Gluttony – Overtraded in one day, trying to force the market to feed me.

6. Sloth – Skipped due diligence on $BMNR. “It's pumping, who needs fundamentals?”

7. Wrath – Revenge traded after a loss. Made it worse.

📌 But here's the key:

Mistakes are tuition. The goal isn't to be sinless, but to be self-aware and strategic. I've learned to build plans, cut losses, manage risk. These sins still whisper—but I don't let them trade for me anymore.

💡 Your edge isn't just technical or fundamental. It's emotional discipline.

So... how many have you ticked off?

I'm not a financial advisor. Trade wisely, Comrades!
