I have to share this because it marks a real turning point in my crypto journey.
You all know my story - I started by losing $500 to FOMO and meme coins. It was a painful but necessary lesson.
This time, it was different. When the market was red, I didn't panic. I stuck to a plan and made a calculated decision to buy a small amount of Solana at $187.
Today, it's trading at $202.
That ~9% gain isn't life-changing money, but what it represents for my mindset is priceless. It's the first time I've: - Bought based on a strategy, not hype. - Saw a green trade instead of a loss. - Proved to myself that I can learn and improve.
The real win isn't the profit; it's the restored confidence. It shows that with patience and a plan, recovery is possible.
Question for the pros: What was the first profitable trade that made you feel like you were finally "getting it"?
