The biggest opponent is not others, but emotions.
In the cryptocurrency world, what often defeats you is not insufficient technical analysis or incorrect news judgment, but emotional loss of control. Greed, fear, anxiety, regret—these emotions quietly erode your judgment like a virus amid market fluctuations.
You see others making money and start to FOMO, buying at a high; then when you see your account in drawdown, you can't help but cut losses. You are not trading assets; you are trading emotions. The market itself does not set traps; it is your reactions that lead you into traps.
The difference between experts and ordinary people has never been about information disparity, but about emotional stability. Truly mature investors are not disturbed by short-term fluctuations; they are disciplined and have a plan, not led by the market.
If you cannot control your emotions, you cannot control your actions; if you cannot control your actions, you cannot control your results.
