Why are you more anxious despite making money? You might have caught the 'crypto wealth syndrome'
In the crypto world, one of the strangest phenomena is: the account profits, yet the heart feels more uneasy.
Many people think that when prices rise, they will be happy, but that is not the case. You might have just started making some money, yet you feel more anxious than when you were losing. You're afraid of a pullback, afraid of missing out on a bigger increase, afraid of selling too soon, and afraid of holding too long and losing it all. This is not a joke, but a psychological state that many people will catch known as 'crypto wealth syndrome'.
Why does this happen?
Because the money you earned did not come from a systematic method, but from 'luck'. And humans have no sense of security with things earned by chance. You don't know if you can hold onto this money, nor do you have confidence in replicating it in the next opportunity. Thus, you become even more tense.
Secondly, this anxiety also comes from 'comparison'. You see others making more in the same market trend, and even if you are already in profit, you will still feel dissatisfied. You think you are earning, but in reality, you are anxiously competing against others' numbers.
True freedom is not the growth of account numbers, but the stability of your mindset.
When you make money, you remain grounded; when you lose, you don't panic. You know you are earning based on your skills, not betting based on emotions. You have a clear methodology, risk control, rhythm, and review.
Only when you start mastering these things does your 'wealth' truly belong to you, rather than being an endless internal struggle.
