A phenomenon in the crypto world is particularly heartbreaking: many people lose money, not because the market is bad, but because of poor mindset.
Have you noticed that those eager to double their investments are often the ones most likely to fall into traps? They always think about going all-in and getting rich quickly, but end up promising themselves they can handle increasing risks, only to find they actually lack that ability. Once leverage causes liquidation or projects run away, trust collapses instantly, leading to a vicious cycle— the more they try to prove themselves, the more distrust they attract.
On the other hand, those who consistently profit tend to stay within their comfort zone. Maybe their growth is slow at first, but because their pressure is manageable and each decision can be fulfilled, trust accumulates like a snowball. The market gives them opportunities, and they seize each one, gradually becoming more successful.
Honestly, the difference between rich and poor isn't just about money; it's about mindset. Some people lack the patience to grow wealth gradually. Driven by the anxiety of "turning things around quickly," they keep taking shortcuts and chasing high risks, ultimately pushing themselves into a dead end.
So the first step to change is simple: recognize your own capacity and stay firmly within that range, steadily working on it. This isn't conservatism, but the clearest and most rational choice.

You're so right. All my friends who went all-in around me have no news now.

I started going all-in on Ethereum back in 2017. If I'm still alive, that says everything haha.
Back then, I was also that kind of idiot rushing to double my money. As soon as the liquidation price was hit, I was out. It took three years to realize— a stable re-investment strategy is a hundred times more profitable than going all-in once.
The concept of a circle of competence is basically: knowing how much leverage you can handle without getting liquidated. Everything else is just talk.
Earning 20% annually with zero effort is way better than chasing hot trends every day and dying quickly.

That's right, mindset really can determine everything. I've seen too many people lose everything just for a single all-in bet.
The disease of seeking quick profits is like a plague in the crypto world, spreading very fast. Those who keep shouting about multiplying their investments tenfold, most of them end up with... negative returns. I'm numb to the tragedies of leverage liquidations.
Actually, the key point is that making money is never a short-term game in the long run. Those who truly make money haven't done anything special; they just steadily repeat the same operations, allowing compound interest to gradually take effect. It's boring as hell, but it works.
I've thought repeatedly about the concept of the ability circle. Many people haven't even calculated how much they could lose before going all-in. Isn't that just suicide?

That's so true. Most of my friends who went all-in are gone, and it's actually the people who have been steadily investing that are now the happiest.
It was only at the moment of liquidation that I realized greed really can be deadly.
It's really just a lack of patience; insisting on turning things around this year, and ending up bankrupt after a year.

No doubt about it, I've seen too many people go all-in right from the start, only to suffer huge losses and question their lives. Mindset is truly an invisible knife, more ruthless than the market itself.
