You think trading is about staring at candlestick charts to guess price movements, but the enlightened one understands:
Every trade is about buying and selling your own emotional fluctuations.
The market is merely a mirror, reflecting your inner greed, fear, and obsessions.
The Essential Difference Between Ordinary Traders and the Enlightened Ones
Ordinary Trader
Disturbed by price fluctuations, frequent trading is counterproductive; the more actions taken, the greater the losses.
Desire Expansion: Fear of missing out, seeking quick riches, staying up late watching the market, both mentally and physically exhausted.
Source of Anxiety: Always feeling that opportunities are too few, fearing to miss out on a hundredfold coin, blindly going all in.
Focus on Appearances: Only ask about price fluctuations, repeatedly searching for 'secret techniques.'
Gambling with Your Life: Borrowing to go all in, physically and mentally tied to the market.
The Enlightened Trader
After each trade, check the emotional threshold; stop losses and take profits calmly, unaffected by news and noise.
Proactively Simplify: Avoid leveraging contracts, do not chase hot altcoins, and only wait for opportunities that align with your strategy.
Be Wary of Quick Money: Fear of having too many opportunities, fear of losing control over emotions, better to stay out of the market than violate principles.
Inner Practice: Review daily whether you are 'moved' emotionally, whether your emotions have crossed boundaries, rather than focusing solely on profit and loss.
Use Market Volatility to Cultivate the Mind: Use fluctuations to sharpen your temperament; stop losses protect your principal, and taking profits helps control greed.
Core Principles of Cultivating the Mind in Crypto Trading
The Market is a Dojo: Price surges and drops are resonances of collective emotions. When FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) sweeps the crowd, the enlightened see not wealth, but a test of inner demons; when FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) spreads, they perceive the illusion of fear rather than the 'truth.' True profit and loss are predetermined by emotions before pressing the trade button.
Active Passivity: Do not predict bulls or bears, but respond to your inner self:
Bull Market: When everyone is chasing prices, be wary of bubble traps and gradually take profits to lock in gains.
Bear Market: When panic spreads, gradually build positions in valuable coins, using spare money for periodic investments to weather the cycles. It seems like a 'passive' wait, but in reality, it is a disciplined strategy.
To Win in the Market, First Conquer Your Own Heart
Let Go of the Desire for Quick Riches: Avoid leveraging contracts to prevent total loss (a painful consensus in the crypto world).
Let Go of Perfection: Accept missing out and stop losses; tolerating imperfections allows you to grasp the bigger trends.
Let Go of the Desire to Resist: Do not stubbornly hold on in the face of losses; respect market trends; stop losses are a lifesaving strategy.
The Enlightened One’s Daily Practice of Achieving by Non-Action:
Avoid Watching the Market: Stay away from price noise to prevent emotions from being manipulated by big players.
Do Not Blindly Follow: Independently research projects; white papers are more trustworthy than community tips.
Do Not Be Obsessed: Price fluctuations are normal, as experienced by Yang Xiaodong's friend—going from a 60% loss to a 20x profit, the only action was 'quietly waiting for the flowers to bloom.'
Conclusion: Trading cryptocurrencies is a practice of borrowing the false to cultivate the true.
The magic of the crypto world is that it magnifies all human weaknesses.
Ordinary people trade price fluctuations, while the enlightened trade their own emotional responses.
When you are no longer bound by market trends, when your heart remains calm amid crashes, when your desires simplify to 'not losing is winning'—
The market, this mirror, will ultimately reflect a free person.
Trading cryptocurrencies means repeating simple tasks over time, persistently using one method until mastering it. Trading can be like any other profession; practice makes perfect, allowing you to make decisions effortlessly.
This year marks my seventeenth year of trading cryptocurrencies. I entered the market with 10,000, and now I support my family through trading! I can say I've used about 80% of the methods and techniques in the market. If you want to treat trading as a second career to support your family, sometimes listening and observing more can reveal insights beyond your current understanding, helping you avoid five years of detours!
