#ETH走势分析 Last week, I was chatting with my apprentice, Xiaolin, about trade reviews, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Master, I admit it. I went all-in with leverage before. Out of my 400,000 principal, I ended up with less than 40,000."

I handed her a glass of warm water and half-jokingly said, "Back then, I told you to start with 80,000 to practice, and you complained that I was too conservative. ‘When the wind blows, you have to charge in,’ remember that? How’s that working for you now?"

Xiaolin slapped the table in regret: "Back then, all I could think about was—missing out feels worse than being stuck. I couldn't listen to any advice."

"There are a lot of pitfalls in crypto," I sighed. "If you don’t fall in yourself, you won’t remember. Even if I lectured you every day, you probably still would have gone all-in at the time."

She suddenly leaned in and asked, "Are there really big funds targeting us retail investors? Every time I buy, it drops. As soon as I sell, it pumps. It’s uncanny."

I pointed at the candlestick chart—this market runs 24/7. "Our positions are like duckweed in a pond. You feel like you’re being targeted, but really, newbies just think they matter too much. The market doesn’t care about your trades at all."

"So how do I make a comeback?" she asked anxiously.

"The way to make money in crypto," I said slowly, "is so simple that no one believes it. The hard part isn’t finding a method, it’s controlling your hands."

I continued, "I told you before, there was a finance professor who tried quant trading and lost money. But a lady selling fruit in my neighborhood made money by dollar-cost averaging into $BTC. The difference isn’t knowledge, it’s mindset—you have to accept that sometimes doing nothing beats overtrading."

"What should I buy now?" she pressed.

"If $BTC holds the key level, buy in batches. Set a stop loss and hold." I said bluntly.

Xiaolin was stunned: "That’s it?"

"That’s it," I countered, "but can you really avoid watching the chart? Can you stay put when you’re down 30%?"

She fell silent.

Actually, all crypto newbies are like this—they keep chasing hundredfold altcoins and think if they don’t pull all-nighters researching, they’re not working hard enough. Just like someone who’s never fished thinks it’s all about complicated techniques. Real pros know the hardest part is keeping a steady mindset in the storm.

After mentoring a few apprentices, I realized: the real essence of crypto lies in basic discipline. Don’t be greedy, don’t be rash, don’t overtrade. Most people are stuck in a vicious cycle not because they lack effort, but because they lack a guiding light.

Opportunities are always there, but they don’t wait for anyone. Follow the right person, and you’ll find your way out of the darkness.
