Newbie Survival Manual in the Crypto Space 1. Cognition Section: Break the Fantasy of Getting Rich Quickly, Respect the Market

1️⃣ Refuse "All-In Thinking" - 90% of losses in the crypto space stem from blindly chasing highs and selling lows; newcomers must remember: "Not losing is winning." - Case: During the SHIB crash, over 70% of retail investors who chased highs were trapped, simply due to believing in the "10,000x Myth" - Cryptocurrency is a game of "Cognitive Monetization"; high volatility means high risks and high rewards coexist. - Core Principle: The Strong Continue to Get Stronger (Mainstream coins like BTC/ETH are resilient to declines)
