The first month entering the crypto world is often the easiest time to stumble. It's not about losing money itself, but the feeling of being hostage to the K-line—feeling uneasy if your phone is away for a moment, waking up in the middle of the night startled by a bearish candle, cycling all day between the trading page and the closing price.



This is the core issue. Once emotions take over decision-making, mistakes begin to accumulate. The market loves to harvest those who can't detach from the chart.

Many veterans have long understood one principle: don't go all-in with all your effort. Use a sum of money that, even if completely lost, won't harm your quality of life to explore the market. This is the most cost-effective way to learn. Follow your plan, avoid adding on impulsively, don't get angry over short-term fluctuations, and treat each trap as genuine tuition rather than failure—this way, you can truly develop your trading intuition.

There's also a point that's easily overlooked: the crypto space is not just about reading K-lines. Your ability to gather information, understand market cycles, and accumulate resources within your circle can also help you monetize. Every minute you spend thinking in these areas will eventually be reflected back by the market in some form.

Stories of sudden wealth do exist, but those who stay and make money often learn to be patient first. Staying calm and steady is the key to seizing future opportunities.

The biggest mistake beginners make is thinking that losing money is a failure. Actually, that's the cheapest tuition fee.

Here are 5 differentiated comments for you: 1. Being awakened by a bearish candle in the middle of the night really hit home; at that time, I was truly at death's door. 2. The most common way for beginners to get wiped out when going all-in; I've seen quite a few firsthand. 3. That's true, but most people simply can't control themselves. 4. The analogy of tuition fees is perfect; lessons learned the hard way are often the most effective. 5. Making money in the crypto world really depends on information advantage, not on watching the charts every day.

Woken up by a bearish candle in the middle of the night really hit me haha. I got through the first month like that, and that feeling was truly incredible. At first, I didn't know what I was doing, but now I finally understand. Don't get involved in all-in stuff.

To be honest, I was like that during the first month too, always keeping my phone within reach. Now that I think about it, it was a bit obsessive.

It's ridiculous. I'm the kind of person who gets startled awake by a bearish candle in the middle of the night, and now even my mom has noticed.
