8 Critical Mistakes That Will Wreck Your Crypto Bull Run (and How to Avoid Them)

Hey friend,

We’re on the edge of what could be one of the biggest crypto bull runs and alt seasons yet. But here’s the harsh truth: it will be incredibly easy to screw it up.

This is my 3rd crypto cycle, and I’ve made just about every mistake in the book. So I want to help you not blow this one. Here are 8 critical mistakes I see over and over again (including ones I’ve made myself) and how to avoid them.

Mistake #1: Giving Up Right Before the Payoff
Altcoins have been bleeding. Bitcoin dominance has been rising. Sentiment feels dead. But this is exactly the moment (for some strange reason) where some people throw in the towel... and where winners double down. I’ve seen people quit inches away from a massive payday. Don’t be that guy (or gal). This is the final stretch before we launch into orbit.

Mistake #2: Not Treating Crypto Like a Job
I don’t mean 40 hours a week. I mean showing up consistently. Researching, learning, following financial news, refining your edge. Even in the worst part of the last bear market, I stayed active. I went from a few thousand invested to becoming a millionaire by the next cycle… not from luck, but from dedication and hard work.

Mistake #3: Not Having a Profit-Taking Plan
If you don’t build a profit plan before the chaos starts, you will make dumb emotional decisions. Map out your positions now. Create a spreadsheet with sell levels and % or amount to take off the table. If you want my personal profit-taking spreadsheet template, grab it here.

Mistake #4: Failing to Secure Your Assets
Get multiple hardware wallets now (watch my video below). Use an authenticator app (not SMS) for 2FA. The moment things go parabolic, phishing and hacks ramp up big time. Most people don’t think about this until it’s too late. Don’t let that be you.

Mistake #5: Only Having One Exchange or Bank Account
When volume spikes, exchanges like Coinbase lock accounts. I’ve seen $20K stuck for weeks. Set up multiple exchange and banking options now. You want freedom to move your funds in and out of crypto quickly, especially when you’re ready to take profits.

Mistake #6: Not Having a Strategy
My personal approach is what I call the “Poor Man’s VC” model. I scatter bets across promising small projects, expecting most to fail. But if I get just one or two life-changing wins, it’s all worth it. However you approach it (big caps, small caps, Bitcoin-heavy, etc.), define your strategy before completely things take off.

Mistake #7: Ignoring Key Charts
You don’t need to be a TA wizard, but a few macro charts are essential:

• ETF inflows (especially Bitcoin and Ethereum)

• Exchange BTC balances (supply shock = bullish)

• M2 Money Supply (historically correlates with BTC cycles)

These charts are like weather reports for the market. Use them.

Mistake #8: No After-Profit Plan
Congrats, you took profits. Now what? Without a plan, you risk blowing it all and starting over. Decide now how you’ll divide those profits: taxes, savings, index funds, debt payoff, lifestyle upgrades. Write it down. You’ll thank yourself later.

This upcoming bull run could change your life… IF you approach it like a pro. If you want more help with this, join Zzz Money Club, my premium membership where I go deep into my portfolio, strategies, and passive income plays.

Let’s get after it. You’ve got a shot most people never take seriously. Don’t waste it.
