#数字资产生态回暖 $ETH losing stories are played out every day, but few people truly understand the real reason.



It's not a technical problem, but a mindset issue——too eager to win, too impatient, too greedy.

You must have seen this type of trader: just entered the crypto world and started piling up indicators, researching strategies, back-testing models, watching tutorials. The lines get more and more complicated, but trading becomes increasingly chaotic. In the end, they realize: the more they learn, the faster they lose.

I've observed some people who have been active in contracts for a long time, and they all share a common trait——using the simplest methods to survive the longest. Not because they are smart, but because they see through it early: human greed is harder to deal with than any market fluctuation.

**Their trading rules are actually quite "dumb," only three:**

**First, no greed.** Take as much profit as you can, let go of profits you can't reach. Earning a little less is always more comfortable than massive drawdowns.

**Second, no guessing.** Don't guess the top, don't gamble on the bottom. Wait for the market to move on its own, rather than betting early. The true direction reveals itself to you.

**Third, no holding through losses.** Admit mistakes when wrong, exit when losing. Keeping capital is for waiting for the next opportunity.

**The execution logic is also simple:**

Don't mess with shitcoins, don't chase obscure coins, and don't chase the latest hot topics. Just stick to BTC and ETH. Not that this guarantees profits, but it minimizes unnecessary risks.

Regarding critical market analysis, it doesn't need to be complicated. Just look at the 4-hour timeframe, and only one MA60—buy when price crosses above MA60, sell when it crosses below. No need to analyze macroeconomics, follow KOLs, or stay up all night reading crypto news; just follow the trend.

**Finally, on the execution level:** Don't predict, don't fantasize. Cut losses when needed, take profits when appropriate. After setting clear rules, execute mechanically. The goal isn't every trade making money, but staying in the game.

As you go along, you'll realize——overcomplicating things is a way to prove how strong you are to others; keeping things simple is true reconciliation. The people who make money are never the smartest, but those who can repeat simple actions consistently.

After trading for a long time, this becomes more and more evident: simplicity is not mediocrity; simplicity is the highest form of maturity.

That's right. The ones around me who have been around for a long time are quietly making money. Not many of those who post daily trading screenshots are still around.

It's not wrong to say that, but the execution is really difficult, brother. --- I've known about the MA60 setup for a long time; the real question is, can it really hold? --- It's the same old rhetoric. People making money stopped writing articles a long time ago. --- That last sentence sounds a bit pretentious. Why are you suddenly into motivational chicken soup? --- Talking about stop-loss is easy, but when your account really starts to dive, you forget everything. --- Holding BTC and ETH is indeed stable, but if I have to give up other opportunities... I can't do it. --- Being complex is to prove oneself; simplicity is true maturity. I agree with this, but it's just for listening. --- Watching 4-hour charts every day? I get dizzy looking at 5-minute charts. --- I agree not to guess the top or bet on the bottom, but if the market starts moving and you don’t join in? Isn't that a loss? --- Mindset is definitely a big part, but not everyone can cultivate that level.

Sounds good, but I've been through it all. 2018 was played out like this, and in the end, it still couldn't escape the mining disaster. The problem isn't the method; it's that people simply can't control themselves.

That's right, I'm the type of person who draws candlesticks like a spider web, and the more I lose, the faster it gets. --- This MA60 strategy sounds silly but really lasts a long time. Why is it so hard to stick to it? --- The most deadly thing is not holding onto a position, but being stubborn and trying to turn it around, only to lose everything in one go. --- Watching others get rich from chasing hot coins, it’s a bit painful to still hold onto BTC. --- Simplicity is the highest form of maturity. Why am I becoming more and more complicated? --- "Making money doesn't mean you're the smartest," so why am I so smart and still so poor?
