You think you're trading, but you're actually just seeking affirmation

What can easily make people addicted in the crypto world is not the thrill of making money, but the constant search in groups and social platforms for the affirmation of "others see it the same way as I do."

Are you like this too?

After buying a coin, you constantly go to X (Twitter) to search for KOLs' opinions, only wanting to see posts that say "it will go up."

You clearly have your own judgment, yet you always want to hear others "certify" that you are right. Even once you see someone bearish, your mood gets affected.

But have you ever thought—this is not trading at all; you are just using the fluctuations in coin prices and others' opinions to "find comfort for your emotions."

Real trading never requires the approval of others.

The reason experts appear calm is that what they seek in the market is not the embrace of consensus, but the gaps in logic.

Trading is the loneliest form of cultivation.

When you are willing to take responsibility for every trade you make, not swayed by external voices, and not losing control due to emotional fluctuations, that is when you truly embark on the path of "from retail investor to professional."

Affirmation cannot feed you, and faith cannot replace risk control.

You don’t need others to affirm you; you just need time to prove you.
