Trading, waiting, and holding short positions are all top-tier strategies.

This article reflects my journey of discipline.

I believe you too will become someone who can handle free time.

In the past, during that 80% of free time, I inevitably felt anxious.

The market wasn't moving, my wallet wasn't growing, and yet a bunch of people on social media started making charts, telling stories, and switching tracks, as if if I didn't jump in, I'd be left behind.

That anxiety was like a tide. You knew now wasn't the time to act, but you couldn't help but watch the market, check the news, and even get FOMO on coins you knew had little value.

Later, I finally understood that this anxiety wasn't because the market didn't offer opportunities, but because I didn't consider "waiting" a strategy. Free time doesn't mean wasted time.

It's the perfect time to rethink your models, examine your understanding, and reflect on which judgments were wrong and which investments were just luck. At this stage, you can slowly clear the delusion that you must perform simply by being present, and begin to accept that most of the time, your job is to observe and reflect, not to participate and bet.

When I truly did this, my emotions began to stabilize.

I no longer rushed in, no longer doubting myself because I wasn't on the hottest trends. Instead, I could see more clearly which narratives were truly viable and which projects were still inflated.

Sometimes, I was short when everyone else was rushing in; but when certainty arrived, I dared to double down, knowing I had waited, thought, and prepared.

Most of the time in the cryptocurrency world is anti-human.

It forces you to act, but true experts are often calmest when no one is moving, and only dare to make bigger moves when everyone is moving.

Now, I no longer care about my free time; I'm even somewhat grateful for it. It's a screening mechanism, filtering out impatience and retaining patience.

I hope you can become someone who can control your heart, manage your hands, and endure your free time. $BTC $ETH #Solana期货交易量创新高 #币安HODLer空投PROVE #ETH巨鲸增持
