#2026年比特币行情展望 I often get asked this question: Without technical background and unable to understand candlestick charts and various indicators, can you make money in the crypto market?
Honestly—yes. Ten years ago when I first entered the scene, I knew nothing about candlestick charts, and I was blind to technical analysis, fundamentals, and all kinds of indicators. But just by relying on a very simple methodology, I grew my initial capital to its current size.
Although the market environment has changed a lot since then, what I learned back in those years still works today.
I've seen too many people lose money in the market, and it's not because of poor technical skills. The real reason boils down to three words: losing control of your hands.
Thinking back to those early years when I first started, I was a typical retail trader:
**Chasing gains when prices go up, selling when they go down.** As soon as I heard a bull market was coming, I would go all-in, full position, only to be stuck at the high points, with some coins not recovering for years.
I remember a particularly harsh lesson. That day, everyone was saying prices would skyrocket, and I couldn’t resist—went all in. Ten minutes later, the market suddenly turned downward, a big bearish candle dropped, and my account instantly shrank.
At that moment, I turned off my phone and stared out the window for half an hour. I asked myself: Is this investing, or gambling?
From that day on, I started doing three things that go against human nature: **slow down, learn to wait, and dare to hold cash.**
Things started to change.
When I gave up chasing highs and selling lows, gave up the thrill of going all-in once, and let go of the obsession with always being fully invested, my account began to grow steadily.
During sideways markets, I do nothing—like hibernating animals; when a big bearish candle drops, I don’t rush but slowly build positions and add; during sharp declines, I buy in batches—my hands tremble, but my mind stays calm because I know the market is presenting opportunities right in front of me.
After a big rally, I start to take profits immediately. Sometimes I miss out on some gains, but I never chase greed. People around me laugh at me for being too conservative and cautious, but after one cycle, I end up earning more than they do after several rounds of messing around.
I later realized one thing: **The real master of making money isn’t someone who can predict the market precisely, but someone who can stay calm amid chaos.**
Not good at reading indicators? That’s okay. But you must control that hand that always wants to trade frequently. Just this one point already puts you ahead of most people.
If you’re currently being tortured by the market, unable to see the direction clearly, and your trades are becoming more chaotic, it’s not your problem—it’s your method that’s flawed.
The key is to establish your own trading discipline and stick to it. This is more effective than any advanced technical analysis.

Losing control really is deadly. I used to lose money like this and even doubted my life.

You're absolutely right, being careless is the original sin, and I feel it deeply.

Can't control my hands, this hurts too much. That's how I got cut. Now I just do dollar-cost averaging in empty positions and take turns waiting, and I'm making much more than before by messing around blindly.

Can't control the hands, that's really impressive. The group of friends around me who watch the market all day are exactly like this. As a result, after one cycle, their accounts actually shrink.
That's why I am much more calm when looking at Bitcoin now. Just stay out of the market if you're not trading, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Honestly, it's a mindset issue. Whether your skills are good or bad doesn't really matter.
The hardest part is waiting, but the results after waiting are the sweetest.
Going all-in is really exciting, but feeling the pain of being smashed through is even more satisfying, right? Haha

That's so true, controlling your hands really means winning. I used to be the type to stare at the gas tracker late at night, and as soon as I saw gwei drop to 15, I would rush in to trade. In the end, I spent the whole night messing around and barely made any profit, wasting on fees. Now I've learned that holding an empty position is saving money, and I truly understand this now.

Holy shit, this is literally my emotional journey over the past decade. Those moments when my hands get itchy are seriously the most fatal.

You're so right. Losing control is a near-death experience. When I first started, I was a total all-in fanatic. Now I've finally had a realization.

I really understand that feeling of being unable to control your hands. I especially understand the regret after going all in. Now I've learned to hold an empty position, which actually makes profits more stable.

That's so true, controlling your hands is half the battle won. I used to watch the market every day too, but the more I traded, the more I lost. Now I've learned to stay in cash and wait for opportunities, and my mindset has become much calmer.
