Friends, let's talk about what's on our minds.
I have been in this line for eight years and have seen too many ups and downs. Recently, while chatting with some old friends, I discovered a heartbreaking phenomenon: many incredibly smart and well-informed friends have returns that lag behind those so-called 'fools' who only stick to their 'dead principles'.
Today, let's not discuss complicated technology, but rather a few simple principles that I firmly believe in and that have been verified by time. They may sound like nonsense, but each one has been earned with real money.
1. In terms of asset selection, learn to 'focus on both ends'
Don't spread your energy across countless seemingly plausible projects. Market capital will ultimately vote with its feet, highly concentrating on those truly leading assets. For the vast majority of people, your focus should be on this. As for those who want to take a gamble on 'surprises', please only participate with the portion you can afford to lose completely. Don't always think about finding treasure in a garbage heap; you are not the professional scavenger.
2. Your position is a mirror of your mindset.
Never let yourself be in an extreme state of "gambling" or "totally observing." Always have goods in hand; only when the price rises are you present in the market; always have cash; only when prices drop do you have opportunities. A position that lets you sleep peacefully at night is the one that can accompany you through bull and bear markets. Many collapses start from an anxiety-inducing heavy position.
3. Stop-loss should be like iron rules; take-profit can be flexible.
When losing money, you must set a clear bottom line for yourself (for example, 10%); once reached, walk away without questioning. This is for saving your life, not for bargaining. When making money, you can be more patient; as long as the trend remains, let the profits run a little longer. Losses should be limited and clear; profits should be maximized.
4. When news becomes widely known, the story often approaches its end.
When you come across the same "earth-shattering good news" from various channels, be sure to be cautious. This usually means that this information has already fulfilled its main purpose. Real good opportunities often arise in the silence that no one pays attention to, rather than in the noisy clamor. The hustle is for onlookers and buyers; don't crowd the last-minute "carriage."
5. Your operation rhythm should go against market sentiment.
This is the most counterintuitive and core principle. When the market is quiet and no one is willing to discuss, it is your time to pay attention in batches. When everyone is flaunting their returns and the atmosphere is fervent, that is precisely when you should consider cashing out in batches. By operating against common human nature, you can acquire cheap chips and satisfactory profits.
6. Only earn the money you truly understand.
If you can't even understand the most basic path of a project, then definitely do not touch it. Don't rush in because of fear of missing out (FOMO). Before each impulse, ask yourself: Will not making this money affect my life? If not, then calmly miss out. There are opportunities in the market every day, but traps always disguise themselves as opportunities.
7. Trust time; it is "smarter" than most people.
My biggest realization is: In this market, living long is a thousand times more important than making a quick fortune. Do not pursue instant success; instead, strive for steady asset growth while controlling risks. Slow is fast. This is the simplest and most easily overlooked truth.
These principles are not any sort of "secret." They concern discipline, mindset, and common sense. In the end, the market rewards not the smartest or the quickest, but the most patient and the one who can best control their hands—the "fool".
Knowing is useless; only doing is useful. Let's encourage each other.
