Many people in this market keep chasing around, only to end up empty-handed. They come up with all kinds of excuses—insufficient technology, poor coin selection judgment, tough market conditions, bad players. But in reality? The real bottleneck often lies in the word "mentality."



Don’t believe it? Think about whether you are like this: buying a coin, full of dreams of doubling your investment. As soon as the price fluctuates slightly, your mindset collapses immediately. You start cursing the market, blaming the whales, even wanting to slap the screen. But what’s the use of doing that? No asset can only go up and never fall. If such an asset existed, it would definitely be a scam.

Market fluctuations are normal. Only those who can stay calm and patient have a chance to survive a full cycle. Where is the root of the problem? It’s in holding onto the mentality of "getting rich overnight" while trying to do something that requires "gradual accumulation." These two are fundamentally incompatible.

A stable and appreciating market will never be kind to those seeking quick gains. People staring at K-line charts every day are filled with anxiety. Conversely, those with a steady mindset can slowly accumulate real wealth in this market.

What do they understand? The purpose of investing is not short-term explosive profits, but long-term steady growth. Losses? That’s a normal part of trading. The real skill is how to handle losses. We can’t change the market’s volatility, but we can absolutely maintain our discipline and rhythm.

Ultimately, if you’re not making money, it’s mostly not because the market slapped you in the face, but because that restless urge to "prove yourself quickly" has suppressed your rationality. Lower your expectations a bit, extend your patience, and only then can you walk this path steadily.

That's very true. The mentality is something that sounds simple but is hard to practice. Many people watch the market every day like watching their children, and even the most stable mindset can be worn down. *** Everyone is shouting "I want to get rich quickly," but many start selling off as soon as the price drops by five percent. Basically, they don't treat this as an investment or gambling. *** I think the core is to recognize that the market doesn't owe us anything. Very few people can survive a full cycle because most can't hold on that long. *** Looking at it over a longer cycle, making money is really possible, and everyone knows that. It's just that too many people are impulsive, constantly fiddling with K-line charts, and the more they fiddle, the more they lose. *** Anxiety is the end of trading once it takes hold. I've seen too many people holding golden eggs end up losing everything in the end. The rules are fixed; human psychology is the biggest variable.

The truth is hard to deny; this really hits home.

Roughly speaking, this is a microcosm of the people around me. The mindset is really the Achilles' heel for most people, and there's no escape. That's right, I am a living example of this, obsessively watching K-line charts every day, and I am extremely anxious. The dream of doubling your money is shattered, and rationality disappears—this is a disease that needs treatment. Impatience won't cook hot tofu; everyone understands this truth but can't do it. Losses must be learned to accept, or else your mindset will eventually explode. Those who can stay calm really make money; I know someone like that around me. Getting rich overnight and accumulating wealth slowly are fundamentally on different channels. Think clearly before taking action. Once discipline and rhythm are maintained, the winning or losing move is not far away.

Well said, but the hardest part is maintaining the right mindset. I used to be the same—my mentality would collapse at the first drop. Now I realize that constantly watching the market actually leads to bigger losses.
