Entering the crypto market, many newcomers think about getting rich overnight. I advise you to put that idea aside first.

After seven years, my biggest realization is this: money is not earned in a flash, but accumulated slowly while you are alive.

Look at those who can sustain profits; they are not the types who are glued to the screen every day. They focus on mainstream coins, follow the trend to catch a wave, and once they sense something is off, they turn around and leave. During periods of no position, they rest and wait for opportunities.

Always keep some reserve. With bullets in hand, you can seize opportunities when the market suddenly presents them. What if you make a wrong judgment? Admit defeat, exit immediately. Never hold on stubbornly, and don’t gamble with the market out of frustration.

Once you hold a heavy position, the market has ways to mess with you. When you get emotional, the trend often reverses right away. In the crypto world, it’s not about who has the flashiest skills; it’s about patience, discipline, and whether you can control that itchy trading hand.

It’s okay to go slow; living longer is more important. In the end, those who truly reach the finish line are often those who are neither greedy nor impatient.

It may sound harsh, but it's the truth. My hard-earned lesson over the years is that I just can't stop being impulsive.

I've heard too much, but few can truly do it. I'm the kind of person who talks about discipline but has none in practice. --- The real difficulty is not being able to sell. When I see a limit-up, I just want to chase. --- Seven years, I've only been playing for two, and I'm almost burned out. I'm convinced. --- Isn't the main point to control your hands? It sounds easy, but actually doing it is really tough. --- That's true, but it sounds so harsh. I'm currently holding on for dear life. --- Taking a break from trading? I can't sit still. Not trading makes me feel uncomfortable all over. --- It makes sense, but who can really do it? Anyway, I can't. --- The last sentence hit me. I'm too impatient; I definitely don't have that kind of luck.

That's right, it's just that I can't control that itchy hand.

Well said, seven years of silly experiences are valuable. I'm the kind of person who watches the market every day, only to lose money faster. I've truly realized it. Heavy investing is really devilish; every time I think about doubling my investment, the market just presses me down and rubs me in the dirt. Admitting defeat is easy to say, but actually doing it is deadly. Waiting for the right opportunity is much harder than rushing to buy the dip. I admit, I am that impatient type. Taking it slow has its reasons, but try resisting the temptation of others getting rich overnight—I don't have that willpower. That's why the ones who always make money are probably that 5%. Living longer is indeed more reliable than going all-in at once, so they say. If you don't have enough bullets, even the best opportunity can't be seized—lessons learned the hard way.
