Talking about the cryptocurrency circle, I always feel that there is a particularly harsh yet very true saying: Most people are not losing to the market, but losing to themselves.
Think about it, is it the case? When you see it rising, your heart feels like it's being scratched by a cat, afraid that this train will leave and you won't be able to catch it anymore. What happens? Bam, you rush in and get stuck halfway up the mountain. When you see it falling, your mind goes blank, thinking the sky is going to collapse; if you don't run, you'll lose all your pants. What happens? Snap, you cut your losses on the floor. When the market stays flat for a couple of days, your hands become uncontrollable; you feel uncomfortable not buying or selling anything, feeling like you are wasting your life.
Year after year, busy and bustling, just working for the exchange and paying fees. What about the account? It's getting thinner and thinner. You say you're studying technology, watching news, staying up late, but in the end, what are you aiming for? Just a sense of 'participation'?
If you ask me, the truth might be simple enough to make you uncomfortable: the core of making money is just one word—'wait'.
Those who can truly make their accounts grow aren’t closely related to technical experts, nor does it matter whether they have 'insider' information. Their greatest ability is to be able to 'wait'. They can wait for opportunities, wait for the wind to come, and more importantly, can wait for their restless hearts to calm down.
What is the market mostly doing? It’s swaying, wearing people down, and creating noise. The golden moments worth your full force attack may only happen a few times in a year. The rest are just a backdrop. If you keep messing around in the backdrop every day, can you not get tired? Can you not lose money?
I used to be like that, thinking that hard work could lead to wealth, and watching the market could bring profits. Later, after being slapped in the face by the market a few times, I realized this isn’t a physical job; it's a psychological battle. The most ironic thing is that a few times I was busy with other matters and didn't check my account for days or even a week or two. When I came back, I was surprised to find it had actually gone up. At that moment, I found it quite amusing; it turned out that when I was 'not there', the strategy ran more smoothly.
Since then, I understood that you have to 'remove' yourself from the market. Your value doesn't lie in how many trades you've made, but whether you made the right decisions in those critical few times. Waiting is not about being passive; it’s about blocking out all the noise under the premise of having logic and a plan, and focusing intently on that hitting point within your cognitive range. When others are celebrating, don’t be envious; when others are panicking, don’t follow the chaos.
So, if your finger is itching to hit the buy/sell button right now, I advise you to stop first, get a glass of water, and then ask yourself: 'Is this action absolutely necessary? Or is it just because my hand is 'itchy'?'
Think clearly before you act. The market is always open, but your capital may only be enough to make a few mistakes.
