Having navigated the crypto world for years, I’ve gradually come to understand a harsh truth—the real reason accounts go to zero is rarely because the market is too brutal; more often, it’s because we can’t resist making moves when we shouldn’t. Look at those who blow up their accounts at the first sign of loss—many still hold positions, haven’t burned through their principal, and their on-paper numbers still suggest a comeback is possible. Yet they die on their own emotional sword—thinking of a rebound when they should cut, getting scared out of positions by volatility when they should hold, repeatedly falling victim to washout cycles. The market’s greatest skill is reversing your instincts. When prices surge wildly, you want to chase; when they plummet, you want to flee. But the underlying rule is actually the opposite—hottest places are the riskiest, and the quietest areas often hide opportunities. If you’re glued to the candlestick charts, you don’t realize the market is really watching your emotional shifts. Behind the volume, it’s essentially a collective of people’s emotions. It’s only later that I gradually understood—don’t cling too tightly to a single fluctuation, don’t be greedy for the last point at the bottom, and don’t fear missing out on opportunities. Those who can truly laugh last are often those who can stay in cash and patiently wait, making it easier to catch the most comfortable phase of the trend. Like high-volatility tokens such as SOL, real gains aren’t about chasing the peak but about positioning during quiet periods, waiting for the market to heat up again. There are always opportunities in crypto, but those who can keep a steady mindset are always rare. Ultimately, the market is just background music; what truly determines your success or failure is whether you can control your hands and steady your mind at critical moments. In the end, trading isn’t just about market knowledge; it’s about understanding and restraining yourself.

Celebrating the season with a little appreciation for our community. Got 7 SOL to give away to one lucky participant. Drop a comment to join in—first to engage might just get lucky. Happy holidays!

The day before yesterday, I saw a viewpoint in a large community and pondered it for a long time. An industry insider mentioned that Solana's development direction is to "attract retail users outside the crypto space," making blockchain as simple as scrolling through short videos. The community exploded. Some shouted "it's about to go viral," while others calculated how much new users could bring in incremental growth. But I focused on those four words—"outside the circle users"—and suddenly felt a chill. Truly novice users, rushing in with real money, what would they do first? Go all-in on a highly volatile project, or find a "more reliable" one to test the waters? I decided to adjust part of my holdings. Sold some high-volatility assets and switched to stablecoins. My friend laughed at me: "The ecosystem is about to explode, and you're doing the opposite? Isn't that going against the trend?" I asked back:
