In the days of watching the market, I learned a very practical truth—K-line fluctuations are never as valuable as the rules within your heart.

Having been in the crypto world for seven years, the most valuable thing isn't the money I've made, but understanding when to put down the phone and spend time with my family.

I still remember the awkwardness when I first entered this circle. Staying up until dawn, reluctant to sleep, flipping through analyses by various influencers, mastering indicators like MACD, KDJ, Bollinger Bands. Back then, the charts looked like a maze, and I thought complexity equaled professionalism.

But after seven years, I’ve become increasingly simple in my trading. One word sums it up—**laziness**. Less action, more observation, became the ironclad rule I finally understood.

This is no boast. In the recent five months, I’ve gone from 8 million to 30 million. Guess how much time I spend watching the market each day? Not more than half an hour. Behind this is countless lessons learned from losing money.

**Three Collisions of Cognition**

In the 2018 bear market, my assets evaporated by over 95%. Everyone who has experienced that knows how it feels. But it was precisely that heavy loss that made me see the detours I had taken.

**First stage: Superstitious about technology (24 months, from 50,000 to 1.5 million)**

As a rookie, I wasn’t afraid of anything. At that time, I believed making money depended on precise predictions. Like other beginners, I would jump in whenever I saw the market rising, with no strategy. I became addicted to leveraged contracts, always thinking "a big turn is coming," but ended up sinking deeper. At the most absurd point, I could even see "mysterious signals" in candlesticks, feeling a certain coin was calling out to me.

**Second stage: Respect the trend (12 months, from 1.5 million to 8 million)**

The painful lessons woke me up—trends are your friends; don’t go against them. Trying to bottom-fish during a downtrend is like catching a knife in midair; in the end, you’ll only get cut.
