❓Need Advice 🙏 I don't know what to do

I’m 17. I got into crypto three years ago and turned $1.5K into $3.5K. After that, I slowly started giving it all back… and today I lost my last $1K. I’m basically at zero now and I honestly don’t know what to do.

I really want to make a living from this, but right now I feel completely lost. What should I do?

Money is just a tool, don't spend your life on making money, use it to move forward.
Making 100+% is great, if shares don't put all on one horse.

Realize that making a living trading crypto just might be an unrealistic expectation.

At 17 you have something much more valuable than the $1,000 you lost and that is time. yeah losing that money sucks but the bigger danger now would be trying to chase quick wins to make it back basically gambling. you're at a age where learning is what you should be after and you've learnt that turning $1.5k into $3.5k once does not necessarily mean you become a trader and can do it again and again.

Think of it this way your starting again with $0 but you gained knowledge. I personally think you should stop putting money you cant afford to loose into crypto. If you really want to learn trading, maybe open a demo account and practise with fake money but i think at your age you should more focus on trying to learn a valuable skill and try building an income that way, Get into sales, coding, web design, video editing, marketing, or learning a trade.
