Last week, a friend complained to me that trading cryptocurrencies was making him increasingly stressed and anxious. Every morning, the first thing he does is open his phone to check the K-line chart.

When prices rise, he thinks, "Just a little more, it will surely be more profitable"; but when prices fall, he sits there lost in thought calculating, "I've just lost as much as a few barbecued meat meals." In less than a month, his hair clearly started to fall out, and his work lost focus because his mind was always hanging over the price chart.

After many years of rolling in this market, I always remind those around me: the ones who truly make money are not those glued to the market all day, but those who maintain the most stable mindset.

1. No Need to Check the Market Every Day

For those working in community roles, they must closely monitor the market to promptly address user inquiries – that is a job requirement. But for regular investors, this is completely unnecessary.

I advised my friend to divide the surplus in his monthly salary into three parts, then invest a fixed amount each week, and turn off application notifications. At first, he felt uncomfortable not 'tracking every breath of the market.' But gradually, he realized that not checking the market frequently was truly refreshing. Just like planting a few seeds in a pond, you don’t need to watch over them all day; just let them germinate, grow, and when the season comes, harvest. Investing in cryptocurrency should be this simple.

2. Calmness in Price Fluctuations

In the past, my friend used to calculate very meticulously: 'Today I lost 200, tomorrow I gain 300.' I just asked back: is there any tree that only knows to grow taller without shedding leaves? The price of cryptocurrency is the same – it goes up and down, with its own cycles.

The crypto market is like the four seasons. When prices rise sharply, it's summer – lively and bustling. When prices plummet, it's winter – cold and gloomy. But winter will pass, and spring will surely return. If you focus too much on every small fluctuation, your mindset will rise and fall with each candle, never finding peace.

Once he saw a coin drop 10% and panicked, wanting to sell immediately. I told him to stay calm and wait. Indeed, just after two weeks, the price had recovered, even rising higher than before.

Conclusion

Investing in cryptocurrency is not just a matter of capital or technique, but first and foremost a matter of psychology. Those who are patient, can think long-term, and are not swayed by short-term numbers are the ones who can survive and achieve sustainable profits.

Instead of letting the market dictate your emotions, let your emotions stabilize, and you will lead your investment.
