$BTC Trading is Human Nature: Don't Let Psychological Traps Cost You Money
The market is a magnifying glass that clearly reflects the greed, fear, and herd mentality in human nature. Research on investment behavior tells us that these psychological biases can turn smart people into 'chives'.
We are not robots; our emotions often lead us during trading:
Greed: Wanting to make quick money, unwilling to let go when prices rise, often getting stuck at high positions.
Fear: Afraid of losing money, panicking and running away at the slightest drop, missing out on major trends.
Herd mentality: In 2025, following whoever is popular on platform X, impulsively going all in.
Luck: Holding on stubbornly after losses, fantasizing that "it will eventually go back up".
Arrogance: After making a few trades, feeling like a stock god, recklessly increasing positions and making random trades.
Research shows that the pain of losing money is twice as strong as the pleasure of making money, which is why we are often reluctant to cut losses. The crypto craze is a prime example, with so many people buying at the peak and ultimately leaving in tears.
