1/ # 2.6 Your own intelligence will likely ruin your chances of making it

A lot of people screw up in crypto by trying to be clever. Following "smart" ideas. Their own intelligence screws them. They don't stick to the plan.

2/ At $X they sold, due to believing "a dips coming", "chart doesnt look good", "It's a friday, market always dips on a weekend, so ill sell", " $BTC not looking good", or they didn't buy: "$15 is too high. I'll buy at $10".

3/ These people screwed up because they thought they were being smart. Their own "intelligence" screwed them.

This cannot be emphasized enough. Out of all the reasons people spend years in crypto and fail to make it. This is one of the biggest causes.

4/ People doing things they think is clever usually because they think they are smart enough to predict whats going to happen in the market. It might work a few times but eventually it doesn't.

5/ You will find countless stories in crypto of people with a tales such as "I sold $XYZ at 15c... its $35 now", not because 15c was their sell target, but because of the issue I just mentioned. They sold because they thought it was the smart thing to do. STICK TO YOUR STRATEGY.

6/ Don't try guess the future. You can't.

People thinking they are smart also screws their chances in other ways.

If you've been in crypto more than 18 months, had >= $5K at that time but are not yet over 7 figures following your own strategy - What you're doing isn't working.

7/ You need to drop everything you think you know and start again. In the majority of cases the reason you haven't isn't bad luck, a rug, timing - its because not only do you not know what youre doing, you mistakenly think you do know. You don't. You've demonstrated you don't.

8/ You will see this all across twitter, telegram: very opinionated people talking about cycles, tech, solid tokens, speaking in facts like crypto experts. Arguing their ideas. Every week they have a prediction about what the market will do.

9/ Yet they haven't made it and are still struggling to do so. They will also consider their opinions to be as valid as anyones. They aren't.

10/ If you wanted to win an Olympic gold medal in track, would you go take the advice of those athletes who won gold previously and ask how they did it?, or would you go listen to some opinionated guy who's not only failed to do so so far, but is convinced his strategy works.

11/ The fastest way to correct this is to abandon all the crap you think you know, ideas you have, and go look what the majority of people are doing who have made it and listening/reading to how they did it. (No, that doesn't mean just buying the crap they're shilling).
