#数字资产市场动态 After wandering in the crypto world for a long time, you'll gradually realize a harsh truth—



Survivors and those who truly make money are never the ones with the fastest hands or the most diligent chart watching.

Many think that experts are all about technical skills, with indicators flashing and a super敏感 market sense. Actually, that's not true. Most of their time is spent doing one very boring thing—waiting.

It's like hunting; even the best hunters squat there motionless. Before the prey appears, they won't waste energy.

The market moves every day, but the truly good opportunities to act are painfully few. Most people losing money aren't necessarily lacking in skills; the problem is treating every fluctuation as an opportunity to seize. What’s the result? Frequent trading, half of the profits eaten up by fees, the other half by emotional swings, eventually becoming the most stable "contributor" to the exchange.

The difference is so obvious—

Ordinary traders fear missing out; as soon as there's a slight movement, they want to participate. Experts fear making mistakes; they focus only on the market segments they understand and can grasp.

To put it simply, trading isn't about working hard; it's about self-control. How long you can stay still directly determines how long your account can survive.

When you truly see waiting as a strategy rather than wasting time, you've reached the threshold of trading.

Move less, watch more. Slow down, and you'll actually go faster.

It sounds nice, but I think most people still die from FOMO... Frequent trading, to put it simply, is the exchange's harvesting mechanism at work, and we keep falling for it over and over again.

This statement is so heartbreaking, I am the "contributor" who is afraid of missing out... --- Can’t sit still? I can hardly stay still for five minutes, every time I feel like the next second is the chance for a surge. --- Discipline? Sorry, that’s not in my trading system. --- Exactly, my reaction speed is so fast that even the exchange is afraid of me, I am the fee harvesting machine myself. --- Wait, are you saying I should look at the market less? Then why do I still have ten windows open... --- People who really make money are sleeping, while I am looking for hope on the 5-minute K-line. Why is the difference so big? --- Frequent trading, shattered mentality, account wiped out—I've experienced all three perfectly. --- Trade less, watch more. It sounds simple, but I can watch a one-hour market repeatedly eight times and still can’t resist smashing the order.

honestly, this reads like someone finally discovered what 2017-2018 bubble survivors already knew. the irony? those same people screaming "hodl" back then got liquidated in 2022 thinking patience alone was the strategy. ngl, restraint without conviction is just procrastination with extra steps.

That's quite right, but execution is difficult. I'm still working on breaking the habit of frequent trading.

It's really heartbreaking, my blood and tears lessons over the past few years... Frequent operations are truly a meat grinder for accounts, with endless fees. Restlessness is a disease, it needs to be treated. That's why I can now resist watching the market, and actually earn more steadily. Honestly, most people simply don't understand what true patience means, and they think I'm just being lazy. Discipline is easy to talk about but really hard to practice. Whenever someone asks me how to choose coins, I always want to say—first learn to do nothing.

Damn, this really hits my sore spot. Those days of frequent operations were really just me giving money to the exchange.
