Last week, I reviewed with my apprentice Xiao Lin. She suddenly had tears in her eyes. "Second Brother, I had leveraged my entire position before, with 400,000 in capital, but it was down to less than 40,000 in the end." I handed her a cup of warm water and joked, "Back then, I told you to use 80,000 to practice first, and you said the master was too cautious. When the wind comes, you have to dare to charge forward. Forget it.
Xiao Lin pounded the table in frustration. "At that time, I was so focused on missing out that it felt worse than being trapped. I couldn't listen to any advice." I sighed. "In the crypto world, one doesn't remember the pitfalls until they experience them personally. Even if I say it every day, you probably would have still wanted to go all in back then." She leaned in and asked, "Are there really big funds watching us retail investors? Every time I buy, it drops; the moment I cut losses, it rises. It's so strange."
I pointed to the K-line, the market that runs 24 hours non-stop. "Our little positions are like duckweed in a pond. We feel targeted, but in reality, beginners often take their own operations too seriously. So how do I turn things around?" She anxiously asked for ways to make money in the crypto world. "It's so simple that no one believes it," I said slowly. "The difficult part isn't finding methods; it's controlling your impulses."
I previously mentioned to you that a finance professor who engaged in quantitative trading lost money, while the aunt selling fruits in the community made gains through systematic investment. It's not a lack of knowledge, but rather the acceptance that lying down is better than blindly fidgeting. "What should I buy now?" she pressed. "Bitcoin has stabilized at a key position; buy in batches and set stop-losses to hold on." I said frankly. Xiao Lin was stunned. "It's that simple?"
"It's that simple," I retorted. "But can you manage not to watch the market? If you're down 30% on paper and still don't act?" She fell silent. In fact, beginners in the crypto world are all like this; they keep staring at hundred-fold altcoins, thinking that if they don't stay up late looking for information, they aren't working hard. It's like someone who has never touched a fishing rod thinking the skills are complicated. True experts understand that the hardest part is keeping a steady mindset in turbulent times.
After mentoring a few waves of apprentices, I finally understood that the true essence of the crypto world lies in basic discipline. Don't be greedy, don't be anxious, don't make random moves. Most people are trapped in a vicious cycle, not due to a lack of effort, but due to a lack of a guiding light. The market is always there, opportunities wait for no one; only by following the right people can you walk out of the darkness.@阿二说币
