A fan asked me, is frequent trading in the cryptocurrency world a sickness? I didn't answer directly but instead asked him.
Have you played soul-like games such as "Dark Souls" or "Sekiro"?
He said he occasionally plays and complains about dying and wanting to throw the controller.
I continued, in soul-like games, no one can clear the game on the first try.
Everyone dies once and again, facing the BOSS hundreds or even thousands of times, from being one-shot to understanding the attack patterns, practicing dodging and countering, and finally clearing the game.
Dying here is normal, practice is key, every retry is about honing skills and gaining experience.
Trading in the cryptocurrency market is actually very similar.
There are always people saying that frequent trading is not good, but those who look at daily and monthly trends a few times and those who watch the market dozens of times daily cannot be directly compared.
The former relies on patience to wait for trends, while the latter practices sensitivity to short-term fluctuations and quick decision-making, just like in games, some steadily grind the BOSS while others speedrun and show off their skills, different approaches, but the core is to hone their abilities.
But the key premise is that no matter how many trades are made, one must first ensure survival.
In games, if you die, you can load a save, but in the cryptocurrency market, if you get thrown off balance by frequent trading, heavily chasing price increases and selling off, losing all your capital, there won’t be another chance to start over.
So, frequent trading itself is not a sickness; what’s scary is trading dozens or hundreds of times without honing your skills, and instead losing all your capital, thus losing the qualification to remain in the cryptocurrency market.
If you can't even understand how to survive first and then slowly practice, you really need to think about whether you are suitable for the cryptocurrency market.
