They don’t understand the language.
You search crypto online and get 10 different opinions. None of them explain the basics clearly.

Nobody teaches them what a red flag looks like. So they follow the loudest voices. They chase the hottest tips.
By the time they realize it, the money is already gone.
Scams work because education doesn't come first.
FOMO buys at the top. Panic sells at the bottom. Every decision is a reaction, not a plan.
It's not bad luck. It's what happens when you trade without understanding what you're actually doing.
Emotion is the most expensive thing in crypto.
No rules. No system. No process to follow. Every trade is a new decision made in the moment.
That's not investing. That's gambling with extra steps. And it ends the same way.
Without a strategy, you're just guessing.
