Three forces that can derail young traders in the crypto market:
First—overindulgence in lifestyle spending that drains capital before it compounds.
Second—getting emotionally attached to the wrong plays or people who influence your portfolio decisions.
Third—and this is the killer—excessive leverage. One liquidation cascade ends everything you've built. Many enter crypto with dreams, only to blow accounts by 5x, 10x, or higher leverage bets they never should've touched.
Stay disciplined. Position sizing and risk management beat heroic returns every single time.

Leverage is really a grave-digging tool; once you lose control even once, everything is gone.

Leverage is really a dream crusher... I've seen too many people lose everything with just 10x leverage.
