The greatest enemy is not others, but the emotions within yourself.
In the cryptocurrency market, many people are defeated not because their technical analysis is inaccurate, nor due to misjudgments of news, but because of a loss of control over their emotions. Greed, fear, anxiety, regret—these emotions are like a virus lurking in the market, quietly eroding your judgment.
When you see others making money, the FOMO mentality drives you to buy high; however, when your account experiences a drawdown, you can't help but cut losses. You are not competing against the market, but rather battling your own emotions. The market does not actively set traps; what truly puts you in trouble is your reaction to emotions.
The difference between skilled and ordinary investors has never been about the gap in information, but rather about the ability to control emotions. A truly mature investor can remain unshaken by short-term fluctuations, maintain discipline, strictly execute plans, and not be swayed by emotions.
If you cannot control your emotions, you cannot control trading; if you cannot control trading, you cannot control the results.
