With the same capital, others made hundreds of thousands while I only made a few tens of thousands.

This is not a technical issue, but a dual disaster of mindset + rhythm.

As a newcomer in the crypto world, I exchanged a whole year of personal mistakes for a conclusion:

In big markets, don't make random moves, a few trades a year are enough.

Case 1: OG—from 4U to 15U, I only nibbled on the scraps.

At the beginning of the year, I entered OG with friends at 4U, and the price hovered around the cost for nearly half a year.

It peaked at 7U during that time, and I remained quite calm.

But seeing other altcoins surge, I started to panic:

6U sell a batch, 'safe to cash out'; 8U sell another batch, 'break even'.

As a result, it shot up to 15U, nearly quadrupling.

Where are the friends?

8000 OG, not sold a single one.

Yesterday he asked me how much I earned, I said I made a profit, but my position was already gone.

He replied calmly, 'I haven't started selling yet.'

At that moment, I understood what it meant to hold on to be eligible for big profits.

Case 2: TRUMP—missing the pain of 10 times

I: Got in at 3.8U, pulled out at 13U, thinking 'this feels good'.

Friend: Entered at 13U, directly traded 20,000 U, sold at 45U, tripling the account.

I did some calculations—if I held like her, the gap would be at least 10 times.

The same market, different mindsets, the results are worlds apart.

The four fundamental reasons I failed

1. Misaligned habits

The habit of quick trades cultivated in Meme coins is self-destructive when applied to trend coins.

Afraid of pullbacks, not daring to hold; seeing other coins rise, rushing to switch positions.

2. Weak understanding

My friend dares to hold large positions because she has a clear judgment of the project and the trend.

As for me? More often than not, I'm just going by feeling, without any logic.

3. Small profit mindset

'Safe to cash out' is correct, but the problem is I always got off before the main surge.

In the end, I cut the big market into small profits.

4. Frequent operations self-destruct the rhythm

Constantly buying and selling may seem busy, but in reality, profits get diluted.

My current method of improvement

• First, supplement your understanding

Study the underlying logic of projects, clarify which are short-term coins for quick trades and which are worth holding.

Consult old players for holding strategies, learn to 'focus on the big picture and not the small details'.

• Set plans in advance

Set targets and stop-loss points before buying, keep the core position to the end, and reduce ineffective trades.

• Mindset upgrade

Accept short-term fluctuations, focus on long-term trends.

Don't jump around just because other coins are rising.

Don't let impatience and greed turn a banquet into a few cold dishes.

Those who make big money are not those who trade the most, but those who can hold until the end of the key trend.

In life, being able to seize a few such opportunities is enough.
