Many newcomers have a common problem — they can't put their phones down, almost pressing the market chart against their eyes. Waking up in the middle of the night by a single candlestick, staring at the screen until their eyes hurt during the day.



If you are also like this, it's time to reflect seriously.

This is usually not called investing, but being emotionally hijacked. The market's favorite targets are those who can't leave the screen. The more anxious you are, the more chaotic your decisions become, and the easier you are to make mistakes.

The reality is harsh: there have always been many pitfalls in this market. When your experience is not deep enough, the most dangerous thing is to rush into heavy positions. Using idle funds that won't affect your life even if lost entirely to test the waters is the wise choice. Calm down, explore slowly, follow your plan strictly, avoid adding positions impulsively, and don't go all-in in a moment of heat.

Treat each pitfall as a tuition fee for growth. Compared to spending money on lessons, this is actually the most cost-effective way to learn. Once you truly understand the market's harvesting logic a few times, your mindset will naturally stabilize.

There's also an easily overlooked point: don't spend all your energy on the zero-sum game of buying and selling to chase price fluctuations. Opportunities in the crypto space are broad — information gaps, cognitive accumulation, resource integration — these can create real value. The more solid thinking and effective time you invest, the sooner the market will give you a return at some stage.

Don't always dream of getting rich overnight. Living longer in this market is more important than anything else. Only those who can survive long-term will have the chance to reap the benefits of future cycles.

The statement is correct, but executing it is really damn difficult. I'm the kind of person who gets woken up by K-line charts in the middle of the night too, haha.

To be honest, I've done the thing of watching the market closely—waking up in the middle of the night because of a tiny movement—it's really foolish. Only last year did I realize that the more anxious you are, the more mistakes you make. Heavy positions are truly a dead end.

Oh wow, you're really right. I'm just that kind of fool who gets woken up by K-line in the middle of the night.

Being awakened by a K-line in the middle of the night is truly intense. My roommate looks more nervous watching crypto than when his mom calls...

It's the same old story. It's true, but how many can actually do it?

honestly the whole "glued to your phone" thing hits different when you examine the behavioral patterns—historically speaking, empirical evidence suggests these emotional traders consistently underperform by like 40-60% compared to disciplined hodlers. let me break this down: if you're losing sleep over candles you fundamentally don't understand the game yet, fr

Words are easy, but how many actually follow through? I'm the kind of person who gets caught up in hype, and now I can't change it.
