Don’t Just Trade Crypto, Understand It

Young African crypto trader studying charts and data on a laptop, emphasizing learning over hype.

It is tempting, isn’t it? To skip the learning curve in crypto. Because time is often never on your side? Or cause there are others who are hitting it big with their trade?

It is very tempting, isn’t it? To rely on those telegram and X (formerly Twitter) crypto gurus who post rocket emojis and type BUY NOW! in all caps.

It is tempting, really, to scroll through social media platforms and take trading signals from someone whose profile picture is a DOGE emoji or something of the sorts, cause you think they’re human and nice enough to share their expertise with the rest of the world.

It is tempting, especially in a world where everyone preaches ‘street smartness’ in the place of ‘conscious study’.
The problem is this: You cannot outsmart what you don’t know.

Because if you don’t understand why Bitcoin pumps when Jerome Powell does even something as little as sneezing, or why a sudden sell-off wipes half your portfolio in seconds, you’re basically gambling.

So to help your journey as a trader, it is important that you do these, just as you would with every other important parts of your life.

Ask yourself:

  • What does market cap really tell you about a coin’s potential, beyond the hype? (And if you don’t know what MARKET CAP is, time to do some research babey!)
  • How does leverage quietly turn your little $100 dream into a liquidation nightmare? (Don’t know what LEVERAGE and LIQUIDATION mean? We will touch on these terms in our next blog post, just stick with us.)
  • And why do institutional flows move markets while retail traders (that’s you and me) are still busy debating and arguing over mundane things?

If you can’t answer these, then my friend, you’re not “trading crypto.” You’re donating to the markets.

At DIVEST, we’re not here to hype you into bad decisions.
We’re not about making you click “convert to cash” only to find hidden charges playing hide and seek with your profits.

The goal isn’t just to help you trade. It’s to help you think, for your money.

Because when you understand the systems you’re playing in, you stop moving like a confused spectator, and start thinking like someone who knows exactly when to flip their crypto to cash without losing their money.

The goal isn’t just to help you trade. It’s to help you think for your money.
And honestly, thinking, especially in this crypto game, always pays better.
