#现实资产代币化规模不断扩大 From losing 3 million and ending up with only 300,000, I finally understood the truth behind the high profits in the crypto market.
A friend holding his phone with reddened eyes said, "Lost again. It drops as soon as I buy, and rises as soon as I sell. Is the market maker specifically targeting me?"
I handed him a cup of tea and said, "You're overthinking it. The daily trading volume in this market is in the trillions. Your account is insignificant in comparison. You're not being targeted; you're just ruined by your own impatience."
The most ironic thing in the crypto world is this: Some people throw money into various quantitative robots and end up liquidated; others do nothing and just invest a fixed amount of $BTC every month, and they end up making the most profit. It's all about one simple principle: patience and not acting impulsively are more effective than anything else.
He asked, "So, should I enter now? What should I buy?"
I said, "$BTC finds support levels, then buy in batches, set stop-losses, and just do that."
He looked confused and asked, "That's it? No need to study whitepapers? No need to buy the dip on concept coins?"
I asked him, "Can you stay away from the charts all day? Can you sleep soundly when you're floating with a 30% loss?"
He fell silent.
Too many retail investors spend their brains searching for 100x coins or digging into new projects, thinking that's what effort looks like. But the biggest losers are actually these people—because they simply can't control their fingers.
Everyone who has been liquidated understands this truth: The people who make money are not those who read indicators the most accurately, but those with the strongest self-discipline. They are not controlled by FOMO, do not change their plans due to short-term fluctuations, and do not add to positions when emotions are high. This sounds incredibly simple, but less than 1% can stick to it.
Trading can be learned technically, but mindset must be cultivated with blood and sweat. Once you truly understand this, you'll realize why some people profit steadily while others are always cutting losses.

Honestly, I understand the feeling of trembling hands when watching the market, but the ones who truly make money are indeed the most boring people.
3 million lost down to 300,000... how much effort that takes, just thinking about it makes me tired for him.
The key is to control your hands, but this is really more difficult than any technical analysis.
Every time I think I've discovered a hundredfold coin, it turns out I'm just paying tuition to the market manipulators.
Not checking the market all day? Can't do it, so I have to accept my fate.
DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) into BTC sounds simple, but very few actually stick with it.

nah tbh the whole "discipline beats timing" thing is just cope for people who missed the actual move. if you look at the data, most consistent winners are just riding macro cycles, not sitting on their hands like monks. the real tell is impermanent loss on these "passive" strategies nobody talks about.

Really, stubborn fingers are more deadly than anything else
