In the trading circle, people often share stories of turning a few thousand dollars into tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. What's your real experience? When did you enter the market? Are you a long-term holder or do you frequently trade in waves? How are your actual gains or losses with mainstream coins like $BTC and $ETH?

Whether you profit or lose, real trading stories are much more valuable than those outrageous jokes. Share your journey—since you entered the market, which decisions have left the deepest impression on you?

It's all talk; I've seen too much of it. Those who are truly making money have already laid back, do they still bother to hang around here?

To be honest, I mostly don't believe those stories of turning a few thousand into hundreds of thousands unless you're truly a lucky one from 2021. I'm just holding coins regularly; BTC is still above cost, ETH has already recovered, but there are no particularly remarkable profit stories. The most memorable decision I made was not to trade frequently, because swing trading results in losses each time, which directly affects my mindset.

Just hearing this, I know someone is talking about the get-rich-quick dream again. As for me, I’ll be straightforward—rounded down, and I lost everything.

It all sounds like survivor bias; the real situation might be about half and half.

Listening to stories about tenfold gains is just for fun; I personally doubled my investment and then turned it into a loss... Back in 2021, I entered the market and was really cut deep. Now I just hold and stop looking at the K-line. Duanbo trading? I quit that early. Do you understand the feeling of manually bottom-fishing halfway up the mountain?

Bro, those stories are just for listening. I got in early, but didn't make much either. Mainly, I kept messing around and lost several rounds due to frequent trades.

Bro, I never believed those stories about tenfold gains. Anyway, these years I've just been holding BTC passively. I did make some profit, but it wasn't that exaggerated. Swing trading? I gave up on that long ago. One shaky hand and I’d be forced to sell at a loss. Basically, just keeping idle money. No big losses anyway. The deepest impression I have is that in 2021, I didn't listen to advice and kept adding to my position, haha. The real situation is, I've made profits and also experienced dips, but at least I haven't been wiped out by the market or chopped up by the chives. I take those screenshots of gains as stories. The key is to have mental resilience.
