I took six years to learn to be honest with myself

When I first entered the circle, I was best at deceiving myself.

Lost money, I said the market was bad; missed opportunities, I said it was bad luck; chased high and got stuck, I said it was value investment. Clearly gambling, yet I said it was trading; clearly greedy, yet I said it was about perspective. While deceiving myself, I even started to believe it. $BTC

It wasn't until my account had only one-tenth of what it originally had that I had to face reality: it wasn’t bad luck, it was that I simply didn’t know how.

That night, I exported all my trading records and looked at them one by one. The red was glaring, the green was unsettling. I discovered a pattern: all losses came from the same reason—unable to control my hands.

Seeing a rise, I wanted to chase; seeing a drop, I wanted to run; having USDT felt uncomfortable, always thinking that being in cash meant losing. This isn’t trading; it’s a gambling addiction.

I spent a whole six months doing one thing: waiting.

Waiting for the real opportunities, waiting for clear signals, waiting until I no longer acted impulsively. The hardest part isn’t the waiting, but watching others make money while I held back. That kind of torment is harder than losing money. $USDC

But after enduring it, everything changed. I no longer chased highs and lows, I no longer went all-in, I no longer fantasized about getting rich overnight. Instead, my account began to grow slowly; though slow, each step was solid.

Now, I finally dare to tell myself a truth: I am not a genius; I am just an ordinary person. In the crypto world, ordinary people survive not through intelligence but through honesty.

Being honest with my greed, being honest with my fears, being honest that I actually know nothing.

In these six years, my greatest progress isn’t how much money I’ve made, but that I no longer deceive myself. $BNB
