A cryptocurrency market is a brutal place where one crash can wipe away all your profits in a jiffy. Profits aside, the crash can take a toll on your mental health and limit your thinking capacity. In return, it makes you end up taking worse financial decisions thereon and be in a never-ending abyss of losses.
One loss can sometimes make your portfolio wait for weeks, months, or even years to claw back to the amount you first purchased. This makes your money sit idle for the entire time and is in no way working for you. The iconic phrase ‘make money while you sleep’ no longer applies to you and it’s only draining away each day.
