He also shares his experience of making money without a strategy and then losing it all.The conversation covers Bitcoin market cycles, institutional participation, scalping versus swing trading, leverage, stop losses, Fibonacci retracement levels, and building a trading system that fits your personality.Whether you’re new to cryptocurrency or struggling with emotional decisions, this episode offers a closer look at the thinking behind a disciplined trading process.Connect with Simon: Website: MyCryptoParadise.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonmachcryptoX: https://x.com/simonmachcryptoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCDJZAsx6B4XOkV12yimUVgQ
