The true battleground of the crypto market, frankly, is that scale— the scale in your mind.
It may seem like you're being harvested by K-line patterns, but in reality, you're being hijacked by your own emotions. When prices fall, fear takes over the mind; when prices rise, greed swallows reason. Once the rhythm is disrupted, the next moves can only be described as "blunders."
Here's an interesting contrast: market trends often go against intuition. When trading volume surges, it's usually the moment of highest emotion and euphoria. Conversely, the quiet, low-volume periods are actually signals that participants are truly calming down.
Long-term stable traders are fundamentally not competing on IQ but on whether they can control their fingers and greed.
Not chasing the last bit of profit, being able to accept the loneliness of holding no position, and not repeatedly torturing oneself during small fluctuations—sounds easy, but in practice, it requires a ruthless mindset.
Opportunities in the crypto world never run out. What is truly scarce? It's maintaining clarity amid overwhelming information noise, and having the courage to say "no" in the face of various temptations.
At a certain stage in trading, you'll realize: the real opponent is never the market itself, but your own overconfidence and impulsive desires.
Top traders stay consistently profitable because they understand this principle: act decisively when it's time to act; never be greedy when it's better to stay put.
Sometimes, the smartest decision is to do nothing.

That's true, but 99% of people still panic and cut losses during shrinking volume, and FOMO chasing highs when trading volume surges. I am one of that 99%.

You're right, but the real challenge is execution. I can especially understand that feeling of itching to act when looking at charts, knowing you should wait but just can't resist.

That's true, but very few people can actually do it. I'm the fool who always buys in at the highest point.

It's the same old story, sounds convincing, but when it comes to actually operating, you're still cut off just like that.

Really, you're right... but I still can't control my hands. When I see a dip, I want to buy the dip; when it rises, I want to chase the high. It's the kind that I will never learn.
