The biggest killer in crypto is the "head in the sand" mentality.

This is something I've struggled with this cycle, and has inadvertently cost me millions.

When times are good, it's easy to get caught up in euphoria and get complacent in terms of locking in profits/spotting warning signs.

When times are bad, it's easy to "bury your head in the sand", not check your portfolio, and get complacent with managing your portfolio - even though these are the times where you really need to be paying attention (spotting opportunities to buy + de-risk when necessary).

You need to stay objective at all times and constantly re-evaluate the risks/opportunities. Complacency kills.

A recent personal example of such complacency was with the U.S. dollar.

I knew Trump's aim was to lower the dollar (specifically yields), I even said it on multiple shows/streams - but didn't hedge enough myself (as a result took a big forex loss).

Ultimately it's not your opinions, but your actions which count.

Reflecting a bit more personally - I think sometimes I use avoidance as a coping mechanism (i.e. not checking portfolio if it's down), which only makes the problem worse as portfolios require constant management/watering.

I'm sure some of you can relate.

I don't really agree with the "step away from the screen" takes unless you're full port BTC/stables and chilling.

If you hold altcoins, hedge via perps, or do anything active - your attention always has to be active.
