Why do seasoned traders become quieter as they make more money, while newcomers become more flamboyant as they lose more?
A strange yet real phenomenon in the cryptocurrency world:
The more someone loses money, the more they like to show off screenshots and express themselves passionately in their social circles;
While those who are truly making money often remain silent, as low-profile as if they are withdrawing from the scene.
This is not a personality issue, but rather a matter of mindset.
Newcomers become more flamboyant as they lose because:
They need external validation;
They use sharing their trades to alleviate their inner turmoil;
They hope to "call out trades to attract others" to compensate for their losses.
Seasoned traders, on the other hand:
They do not rely on emotional fluctuations to make decisions;
They understand that exposure = being targeted = having their rhythm disrupted;
They care more about compound returns and privacy than showing off.
When you see someone flaunting "I doubled again" or "I made a fortune again" every day, it is highly likely they are creating a persona to attract others;
And the big players you don't see may have already made three rounds of investments and four rounds of cashing out, starting to lay low for the next narrative.
Those who truly make money do not need to prove themselves through words; they let their results speak for themselves.
Flamboyance is the filter for newcomers;
Silence is the armor for seasoned traders.
