After being in Bitcoin since early 2014, I’ve learned a few important lessons that I wish I had understood sooner. These are not theories — they come from real experience.
1. Never trust price predictions.
No one truly knows where the price is going. Even experts are guessing. If someone sounds too confident, that’s usually a red flag.
2. Don’t “diversify” into random altcoins.
Most cryptocurrencies are not truly decentralized. Almost everything outside of Bitcoin is controlled, speculative, and closer to gambling. Bitcoin isn’t about quick gains — it’s about escaping broken fiat systems that quietly steal value from people over time.
3. When everyone is talking about Bitcoin, you’re probably near the top.
When friends, family, and coworkers suddenly ask about Bitcoin, emotions are usually running high. At that moment, it’s very hard to think clearly. You only realize this after the market cools down.
4. Don’t trade altcoins to “get more Bitcoin.”
Most people think they’re smarter than the market — they’re not. The odds are heavily against you, and many people lose their Bitcoin trying to outsmart price movements.
5. Use DCA and control your emotions.
Buy Bitcoin regularly with whatever you can afford. Don’t try to time the market. Ignore fear and hype. Just stay consistent and patient.
6. Don’t over-promote Bitcoin to others.
Even if your intentions are good, people may feel like you’re trying to sell them something. It’s better to stay calm and let curiosity come naturally.
7. Connect with other Bitcoiners.
Attend meetups or conferences if you can. Being around like-minded people helps a lot. The Bitcoin community is generally thoughtful, helpful, and welcoming.
8. Recommend Bitcoin-only platforms to beginners.
This is very important. Many people lose money because exchanges push risky coins. I’ve seen people buy Bitcoin, then switch to meme coins during hype and lose almost everything. Bitcoin-only companies reduce these mistakes.
9. Stay active on Bitcoin Twitter and Nostr.
Holding long-term can feel lonely if you’re isolated. Seeing others go through the same ups and downs makes the journey easier. I joined later than I should have, and it made a big difference.
10. Be careful with influencers.
Even well-meaning people can be wrong or influenced by incentives. Always think for yourself. Question everything — including what I’m saying.
11. Stop trying to convince everyone.
Bitcoin doesn’t need forcing. Be available when people are ready. Become a trusted resource, not a preacher. When they ask, have good articles or videos ready to share.That’s it.
It’s been an incredible journey so far, and I’m grateful to be part of this community.
