Many people think that the big shots in the crypto world are those who stay up all night watching the market
Not sleeping at three, watching the market at five, missing not a single candlestick
But to be honest, I have seen quite a few people who actually make money, and their state is surprisingly different—
Not anxious, not hurried, no matter how the market moves, they don't get emotionally affected
Later, I gradually understood one thing:
They win not because of skills, but often because of their state
First of all, they have money, but they don’t throw it all into the market
For example, if they have 1 million, they might only use 500,000 in the market
The other half is kept aside, which gives them confidence
When the market plummets and others panic sell, they have money to gradually pick up shares
When the market surges, while others are crazy chasing highs, they might have already been lying with low-position chips
When prices rise, they have coins; when prices fall, they have cash
Such people cannot be swayed by emotions
Secondly, they do not rely on the crypto world for survival
Many people who make stable profits actually have their own jobs or sources of income
For them, the crypto world is just a bonus, not a lifeline
Making a profit is a surprise, but losing doesn’t affect their life
So they don’t check the market dozens of times a day, nor do they lose sleep over a single candlestick
An interesting thing is: the less one expects to turn their life around relying on the market, the easier it is for them to actually turn around
Thirdly, they only make money that they understand
They don’t chase trends, don’t listen to so-called insider information, and don’t touch projects they don’t understand
Many people are focused on $BTC and $ETH trading back and forth
They are very familiar with the rhythm, volatility, and temperament
They don’t seek to profit from every wave, but want to be clear about each trade
If they don’t understand the market, no matter how lively it is, they won’t participate
The last point, which is also the hardest for many people to achieve—is being able to stay in cash and wait
When there are no opportunities, they really do nothing, and they sleep just as well in cash
They wait for the market to develop, then slowly take action
They are not here to gamble, but to gradually take money from the market
So many times you will find that those who live the most comfortably and earn the longest in the crypto world are never the most aggressive ones
But those who have many choices
Not being led by the market, the market will instead slowly move towards them
