The key to holding onto results last time was controlling greed.

So what is the key to achieving results? I previously downplayed it as luck, but luck is just a facade; the real key to achieving results lies in having the ability to think independently.

Just like I said that the reason I achieved significant results in November was that I was lucky to have held onto XRP and Doge, but the real reason I could hold onto them for so long was my independent thinking that led to a series of positive outcomes, giving me the confidence to hold onto them for such a long time.

Not having the ability to think independently is quite terrifying. Maybe you heard someone say a certain coin is good, but you didn’t think or research why it could reach that position. Even if it eventually reaches that level, you lack the confidence from your own research to hold; you might fall before dawn. This is why many people sell off after just a slight increase when discussing the fundamental trend of Dogecoin. They still rely on what others say, and when others are wrong, the results are even worse.

Therefore, when you lack the ability to think independently and research the market, the likelihood is that you will face long-term losses. This is a trap many people fall into when trading cryptocurrencies, and they wonder why they haven't made money over the years, leading to frustration and pessimism towards the market.

When you delve deeper into market research and think independently, you will discover many interesting patterns and trading strategies, and you will actually find joy in it. The following image casually gives an example of XRP, comparing the recent surge to the daily candlestick chart from 2017; the movements at the first three marked circles are almost 100% overlapping. Once you discover this pattern through independent research, you can easily profit from $0.5 to $3.
