📚 Some Crypto Education for you guys
1. Tokenomics 101
Ever wondered why projects offer insane APRs like 200%+? 👀
It’s not free money, it’s dilution. Tokens are being printed and dumped on the market.
👉 High APR = High inflation.
👉 Inflation = Sell pressure.
👉 Sell pressure = Bearish chart.
Always read the fine print of tokenomics before investing.
2. Risk Management
Traders blow up not because they’re wrong, but because they risk too much.
✅ Rule 1: Never risk more than 1–2% of your portfolio on a single trade.
✅ Rule 2: Always set stop losses.
✅ Rule 3: Protect capital first, profits second.
Survive long enough, and the wins will find you.
3. Scalping vs Swing Trading
⚡️Scalping = quick in-and-out trades (minutes to hours). Perfect for volatile tokens.
🌙 Swing trading = holding for days/weeks, riding market structure.
Both work. The key is knowing YOUR style. Don’t scalp if you can’t watch charts all day. Don’t swing if you panic on small dips.
4. The Psychology of Trading
Your biggest enemy in crypto? 🪞 Look in the mirror.
•Fear makes you sell bottoms.
•Greed makes you buy tops.
•Impatience makes you break your own rules.
Master your mind → Master the market.
5. DYOR (Do Your Own Research)
Before touching any token, ask these 5 questions:
1️⃣ What problem does it solve?
2️⃣ Who is building it?
3️⃣ How is the token actually used?
4️⃣ What’s the supply + emissions schedule?
5️⃣ Is there real adoption or just hype?
If you can’t answer these, don’t buy.
6. DeFi Yields
DeFi yields come from 3 main sources:
🔹 Trading fees (sustainable)
🔹 Lending interest (moderately sustainable)
🔹 Inflationary emissions (unsustainable)
If it looks too good to be true… it usually is.
7. Scam Awareness
Crypto is full of traps. Protect yourself:
❌ If someone DMs you about a secret investment, it’s a scam.
❌ If it promises guaranteed returns, it’s a scam.
❌ If you can’t withdraw your funds, it’s a scam.
✅ Always self-custody your assets. ✅ Always double-check links.
8. Market Cycles
Crypto moves in cycles:
🐂 Bull Market → FOMO & parabolic gains
🐻 Bear Market → Fear & capitulation
😴 Accumulation → Quiet builders, low noise
Winners aren’t made by buying in bull runs, they’re made by stacking during quiet times.
9. Stablecoin Education
Not all stablecoins are equal:
💵 USDT/USDC = centralized, dollar-backed
🪙 DAI = decentralized, over-collateralized
⚠️ Algorithmic stables = high risk (remember LUNA/UST?)
Pick stability over hype when parking your capital.
10. Long-Term Investing vs Punting
Two ways to play this game:
🎯 Punting = fast trades, short-term profits, higher risk.
🏗️ Long-term investing = strong projects, compound gains, lower stress.
You don’t have to choose one side. Smart players do both.
