A brief story of a Crypto investor, trader, musician, and teacher. Hope you guys enjoy it, cheers!
Greetings all,
Everyone has a story of discovery in crypto. My journey stands out because I am here engaging you to learn from mistakes, knowledge, experience, and skills I've acquired along the way.
Providing technical analysis and my pieces of advice regarding cryptocurrencies at large, I hope to get my message through. Like all interesting stories, the color layers in the detail while the growing pains of experience help us find meaning in our journey. I’m honored you’ve taken the time to explore my journey so you may learn from my bumps along the way and we can all build skills and confidence to become better investors and traders.
When you compare 2012, when I started, to the past few years you wouldn’t even recognize the two were the same. In 2012, mining was the most accessible avenue for accumulating coins and eventually financial freedom. Exchanges were in their infancy so the exposure to trading platforms was limited. Meanwhile, the mining sector was booming due to the profitability equation that allowed the wild west to explode with entrepreneurs, for good and bad.
With any booming sector, the leaches emerge from their depth to find the weakest points to latch onto the unprepared victims. 1000s of websites offering packages and partnerships for mining with no real moderation. In fact the apparent moderation we relied on was probably the very same scammers using social media to circuitously promote and monitor their own behavior. Who knew. Certainly not me and the 1,000 of other who fell for legitimate looking scams such as LTC gear(Chris), Hashcoin/Paycoin(Homero Garza). Here you have one, rather old, a website with information about paycoin/hashcoin scam:

And a screenshot of my conversation as MythHash:
Losing so much was hard to bear. It pains me, like many of you with losses you’re nursing, to even rethink the nightmare. But we must. We must learn from mistakes, get back up and push forward, be prepared for the next punch.
My dream of becoming independent, of being part of this revolution, it was nothing more than a dream.
As I wrote in my title, one of the things that I've studied is music. I am an opera singer. Why is that important to mention, well...I was trying my career in Berlin, Germany when all that aforementioned mess happened. I was investing in crypto, singing, studying and living abroad.
I have some videos on YouTube when I was already back home and trying to get myself out of the hole, they are not available to the public tho.
Why am I telling you guys all this? Well, this is an introduction, isn't it? This is the story of how I became what I am. To the extent that crypto is part of my life, music has played a huge role, my mistakes as well.
A lot has happened since then. I got back to crypto last year after my graduation in psychology. Fortunately, around that time, I have got myself involved in a field, many of you must have heard of, behavioral economics. That hadn't prepared me for the market tho, crypto was about to see bitcoin hit almost 20k. Even me knowing how driven by emotions humans are, how tenuous is the line between rational decisions and irrational ones, I was not immune, or less human. I would be a victim, once more, of my stupidity.
I saw my portfolio grow significantly, as most of the crypto investors at that time. And again, I am not kidding, I was once more scammed, but this time tho, discord groups. Ok, let's be fair here, I managed to get out of the scheme before it blew out and I recovered my money. However, unfortunately, that wasn't the fate of many of the members there who wouldn't listen to me and were following the leader, a con master.
Discord crypto trading groups, they are still out there, promising the wonderland, shilling this coin here, and that coin there.
Ok, enough of this.
When bitcoin was in that huge hype, you guys remember that I decided to start reading more and more about trading itself, studying stock markets, Elliot waves and so forth, as well as so many books about behavior and economy. Some of them:
Well, almost one year after the whole crypto parabolic movement, we are now in the middle of a correction, and I decided to start contributing to the community with my knowledge and share what I have learned. I love teaching, that is my call, to teach is to learn, is to live. I created my youtube channel, as so many have done before me, and started sharing my own technical analysis.
My YouTube Channel
My goal was to teach, not to brag and show off as most of the crypto traders do. You won't find me talking about my gains, or saying how accurate I am. If you know a just a little bit about stock markets, and trading, you know how inaccurate our forecasts can be.
I compare markets with the weather, the only thing we can do is to tell what is likely.
Examples of my charts
So, I am gonna leave you guys with this piece of advice: "Enjoy your trades and trade less than you think is necessary", most of the time, the best thing to do is to learn about the market and to do nothing and wait.
"The rich invest in time, the poor invest in money."
Warren Buffett
Thanks for all the support!
And as always, enjoy your trades!!! :D
