#Strategy加仓BTC The bear market is here, and the biggest test is your mindset. Instead of frequent trading, it's better to observe and wait for those truly worthwhile entry opportunities.

For short-term traders, this phase can actually be advantageous. The hidden costs of frequent trading are quite high—fees, slippage, psychological exhaustion, and over time, it results in a significant loss of wealth. Many people don't realize that those "insignificant fees" are actually where wealth quietly slips away.

Instead of chasing highs and selling lows, select a few key coins (such as $BTC and other core assets) and look for high-probability entry points amid the volatility. Patience is more valuable than frequent operations.

That's so true. I really didn't account for the transaction fees before. After a month of casually executing dozens of trades, the fees and slippage eat up much more of the profits than I imagined.

That's right, the hidden killer of fees is really incredible. A series of aggressive moves, and then you realize it's all just fees. In a bear market, you should lie low and wait for the real big opportunity, rather than constantly messing with your mindset. I'm also waiting for a good entry point for BTC this time; there's no rush.

It sounds nice, but I see that many people are still frantically bottom-fishing during this bear market, and as a result, they are trapped until now. BTC is indeed worth holding, but the question is who can truly be patient and wait. Isn't it said that we should hold coins well? The transaction fees are really painful. I lost quite a bit just from slippage in a month before. Now I finally understand what "death lies in the details" means.

Patience? That's easy to say, but how many can truly endure a bear market?

lmao this is exactly why i run backtest simulations on every trade. those "negligible fees" you mention? they're literally basis points bleeding out across 100+ trades—easily 200-300bps annually if you're not careful with gas optimization and slippage modeling. the math doesn't lie.

That's right, fees are truly the silent killer. I used to trade frequently in the short term, and after a month, I realized that just the trading fees had cost me a month's salary...
