Watching $BNB's price inch closer to the predicted direction, that sense of calm and steady flow is more intriguing than any short-term fluctuation. Ultimately, trading is about testing your execution ability through waiting.

Over the past few years in the crypto world, I’ve come to understand one principle: survival and growth never rely on reckless gambling. In the face of market conditions, watching others eat profits or actively bottom-fishing results in two parallel worlds. Those who can survive long-term in the crypto space simply grasp two key points — choosing the right direction and doing the right things at the right time. Following mainstream narratives, keeping up with market rhythm, and decisively executing plans may sound simple, but in practice, only a few can persist. Privacy coins and hot tracks appear one after another, but those who truly make money are always traders with both foresight and risk control.

I've heard a lot of the "still waters run deep" routine, but the key is to hold back and not move randomly. Waiting too long can lead to impulsive decisions to get off early, which is the true picture for most people. Honestly, this wave of BNB is quite interesting, but who really has foresight? Whether execution is strong or not ultimately depends on luck—stop fooling yourself. Choosing the right direction is not easy; I haven't gotten it right many times. Missed out on the privacy coin wave, and now it's too late to regret—that's the crypto world. Controlling risk sounds easy, but who can stay calm when losing money?

Still waters run deep—that metaphor is perfect. It's just a test of your mindset. Being able to see profit but not acting on it—that's the hardest part. Exactly right. The longer you're in the crypto world, the more you'll understand. Those who get angry and give up have already been eliminated. Execution is indeed a problem; knowing and doing are worlds apart. Forward-looking vision and risk control—these two are truly indispensable. You've hit the nail on the head. Waiting itself is a trading strategy. Many people haven't figured this out. I feel like I'm the one just watching others eat meat, haha. Getting the rhythm wrong makes everything pointless—that's a painful lesson.

The metaphor of a still water running deep is perfect; you just have to endure the loneliness, really. Those who can't wait have already been liquidated, that's the difference. There's nothing wrong with what you said, but indeed, only a few can stick with it; I myself often break my discipline. It's mainly about mindset; greed is the biggest killer in the crypto world.

The metaphor of "still waters run deep" is indeed understood, but the problem is that most people can't wait that long and end up collapsing first. Execution is essentially about mindset; a poor mindset can cost you an entire zero in your account. To put it nicely, how many people truly can control risk? I haven't really seen many. The term "throwing a tantrum" is used perfectly. Nine out of ten people in the crypto circle are throwing tantrums, and the remaining one is just waiting for the next opportunity. Following narratives isn't just about following the trend; it just sounds less harsh. But only a small group of people really make money from it.

Waiting truly tests people, but your words sound easy. When it comes to the critical moment, who can hold on?
