#数字资产市场动态 Remember eight years ago, I entered the market with just over ten thousand in my pocket, and the days that followed were filled with anxiety through every rise and fall. When a wave of volatility hit, my mindset would collapse instantly. Back then, I truly believed that as long as I kept trying, I would definitely win.
It was only later that I slowly realized: making money depends on avoiding risks, getting rich quickly depends on patience, and turning things around depends on waiting.
The things that change your social class are not the small fluctuations in daily trading. It’s those one or two key opportunities that land and directly elevate you to a higher level. I once caught a perfect bullish signal, and the unrealized gains looked quite substantial. But what happened next? I sold everything that night. Someone asked, “Why not wait for a higher open tomorrow?” My simple answer was—when the good news is realized, it’s usually the top. If you hesitate, risks are already lurking.
Over the years, my style has become increasingly steady. I don’t hold heavy positions during holidays, I clear out before major events, and I take a break when the market is unclear. Some people around me say I’m too conservative, but it’s this “timidity” that has allowed me to survive every major market move and wait for the real big trend.
In the crypto world, the most important thing isn’t technical analysis, but mindset. Many people’s minds collapse before the price even moves. But those who last long only care about right or wrong, never letting emotions take over.
If you ask me how to go from ten thousand to one million— the core is to master three points: dare to hold cash, be able to wait, and execute steadily.
Once you truly achieve this, you’ll realize: money isn’t really made by chasing. When the market arrives, having chips in hand and confidence in your heart—that’s what it looks like to make money.

That's right, but I still can't sleep because of a -5% drop haha
Holding no position is really difficult; I get itchy watching others surge higher
I've heard this theory too many times; the key is just not being able to execute it, brother
The good news has peaked... sounds right, but last time I couldn't resist and ended up FOMO buying in
Mindset is something that’s a hundred times harder to master than technical analysis
You're right, but unfortunately I’m the kind of person who regrets before I even buy
GasFeeCrybaby's nickname probably seals my fate; I probably won't be able to fix this mindset in this lifetime
Actually, I believe more in luck; your method is a bit too "cultivating immortality" for me
I understand these principles but can't do them; that’s probably the distance between me and a millionaire
Seeing you so steady makes me feel reassured; at least someone will survive to the real big market trend

It's clear that cultivating the right mindset is indeed a skill, but I still think luck plays a bigger role than people say. Not everyone who survives is necessarily the most stable; maybe it's just because they entered the market at the right time.

Exactly right. I'm the kind of person who is "too conservative" and gets mocked, but every time a major market rally comes, I survive.
Profit-taking signals the top; I need to engrain this in my mind. So many times I've chased highs and gotten caught, and it's always the same.
Being able to make money while holding no position is a level that truly requires time to understand.
What happened to those whose mentality collapsed? They should have exited early, right?
Being willing to hold no position is the hardest; it tests your psychology even more than holding a large position.

Being out of the market is the most expensive. Have you heard that before? I only realized later that doing nothing is actually the most advanced trading skill.

Really? The statement "Good news兑现=顶" hit me. I used to be a trader chasing gains and killing dips, but now I understand that patience is the strongest weapon.
Being out of the market can also be profitable, no doubt about it. It's just that those who are afraid to hold cash keep messing around every day, and in the end, they still die before dawn.
Once your mindset collapses, everything is over. No matter how strong your skills are, it's useless. I've seen too many stories of genius short-term traders disappearing in the end.
Going from 10,000 to 1,000,000 sounds like a dream, but the logic is clear—don't chase, don't panic, and you'll last the longest.
Not holding a large position during holidays is a must; many people have been wiped out directly because of this small detail.
What I can't quite understand is, how do you determine that it's a "key opportunity," or is it just luck?
It really takes many years of practical experience to dare to hold cash, I feel like I'm still far from that.
A steady and conservative style may sound boring, but the fact that your account doesn't blow up makes it worthwhile.
