Yea, it got me too, early on. Thankfully, I was still a very timid trader, and didn't put that much btc into it. There is nothing that will motivate me to learn that getting nailed with a 50 percent decrease in value and going, "What the heck?"

People told me the same thing too though. Don't chase, etc . . but I had to get burned once.

Nothing motivates improvement like a little bit of failure.

Lol! I started out with 2 btc and lost 1 btc FOMOing. I know better now :) Making marginal gains is a lot more consistent and less riskier than trying to double your money.
