Most stories in the crypto world go like this—someone gets rich and famous overnight, more people dream of getting rich quickly, but only about 5% actually make money, and truly becoming wealthy is even rarer. You ask why? Because most people lack sufficient understanding; trying to earn money beyond their knowledge is like a fool’s dream.



So, what allows this 5% to make money? It all comes down to two words: self-discipline. Strictly control your positions; don’t let a single trade ruin your entire account. Keep your hands steady, don’t be blinded by FOMO, and never open a trade at random unless it hits a key level. Most importantly, set a stop-loss—this is your last line of defense—and many people fail to do this.

Another key factor is the power of compound interest. Don’t think about getting rich overnight; take it step by step, steadily compounding, with time on your side. Many people feel this is too slow, but it’s precisely this slow and steady approach that leads to profitability. From CYS to ETH, regardless of which coin you trade, these principles are timeless.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. How many people can really stick to discipline? I think most people just talk about self-discipline, and one FOMO can throw everything into chaos. Self-discipline sounds simple, but sticking to it can be life-threatening. Sometimes I also break my own rules. Stop-loss is indeed the key; even when set, I often hesitate to cut, and in the end, I lose even more. Compound interest is correct, but the premise is to stay alive first, right? If you don't make it to that point, everything is pointless. The 5% figure might even be an overestimate; people around me tend to die pretty quickly.

That's right, self-discipline is the hardest part. I've seen too many people who talk a good game but lose it all at the first sign of FOMO.

That's correct, but very few people can truly practice self-discipline. I've seen too many people agree in words but can't control their actions. Stop-loss is like a mirror that reveals whether you're an adult; if you can't set it, it shows your mindset isn't in place yet. Compound interest sounds slow, but the reason most people can't wait is that it's just too slow for them, which is why they ultimately fall behind. This set of principles is actually understood by everyone; the problem is whether they can do it or not. In one sentence: the crypto world is a game of cognition and execution, and both are indispensable.

That's right, the stop-loss hurdle has really discouraged a lot of people.

That's right, but I just want to ask, is that 5% really earned through self-discipline, or was it just good luck riding a few waves of the market?
