Have you ever noticed that others' operations always seem to breathe—just a few quick moves, and the account balance jumps out, surpassing your lifetime earnings? The square is full of stories like these: a car every three minutes, a wave of market moves earning half a year's profit. You stare at the screen sourly, repeatedly pondering: what kind of luck is this?

But the reality is, there are so many things you can't see.

You can't see the moment they got liquidated, trembling fingers when deleting the app; you can't see the dark circles from staying up all night reviewing their trades; you can't see the moment they face the mirror in self-reflection after being "eaten" by the market. And even less can you see the ironclad rules they hammered out with real money—those so simple that no one believes them.

What truly widens the gap between people in the crypto world is never luck. Beginners gamble on wins and losses, while experienced traders calculate probabilities. You're still searching for the "Holy Grail" in the K-line chart, while they are already executing the most basic rules.

If you don't understand the market, just stay out of it—this sounds inhumane, but the market loves to harvest exactly those who are "restless." Making money isn't about the frequency of actions but the quality of each move. Jumping in before the pattern is complete? That's probably just giving money to the market. Those rising lines are bait; a sharp drop is the real knife. The more impatient you are, the happier it makes the market.

Truly long-lasting players only eat the fattest part of the trend's middle. They never try to catch the bottom or top—if the trend is upward, they don't short; if downward, they don't try to bottom-fish. Think that's too boring? It actually means you're operating correctly.

Most of the time, experts are just waiting. There are only two or three opportunities each year that can truly change the game; the rest of the lively fluctuations and noise are just distractions pulling you into the water.
