In the ups and downs of the cryptocurrency world over the years, I have witnessed too many rises and falls.
Some have rolled from thousands to tens of thousands during a market cycle; others, in just one night, have seen their capital turn to ashes.
These stories have made me understand a harsh truth —
Most people do not lose to the market, but lose to themselves.
I used to be like this too, seeing a drop and rushing to buy the dip, fearing to miss out when prices rise a bit, and frantically chasing higher prices.
I always thought 'the more I operate, the more opportunities I have,' but what was the result?
My account became thinner and thinner, and the transaction fees became thicker and thicker, purely working for the exchange.
But later I discovered that those who truly make money often look 'very lazy.'
They do not stare at the market every day, nor do they operate frequently; instead, they layout in advance and patiently wait for the wind to come.
When the market comes, they feast; when the market does not come, they quietly stay out.
It's that simple, and they earn the most steadily.
Why can’t most people do this?
Because they cannot wait.
Afraid of a slight pullback, they run quickly; afraid of a slight drop to zero, they cut losses quickly; when the market is sideways, they get itchy and have to meddle.
What’s the result?
Every genuine opportunity is perfectly missed.
What’s even more frightening is that this state of 'not being able to control oneself' is not trading at all, but being manipulated by emotions.
Many people place orders just like scrolling through short videos, purely addicted to anxiety...
Later, I changed —
I no longer make random moves, reducing unnecessary trades;
I no longer fixate on candlestick charts, but instead, focus on the rhythm;
Most importantly, I found a method suitable for myself, neither greedy nor impatient, strictly executing it.
Those painful losing days finally started to turn the page.
You might ask: how did I do it?
There are too many details, and I can’t cover them all here (those who understand, understand), but now there are a group of people using this method, steadily reaping daily without liquidation or anxiety, and slowly recovering their accounts...
If you are always FOMOing at peaks, cutting losses at lows, or waking up in the middle of the night, perhaps it’s time to change your approach.
Those who survive in the cryptocurrency world are not competing on luck, but on the control of human nature and rhythm.
Remember, sometimes —
Not moving is the fiercest operation.
