#美联储启动新一轮降息周期 has been navigating the digital asset space for nearly ten years, and the deepest realization is— the market is always changing, and people must evolve with it, or they will be eliminated.

Over the past decade, traders around me have come and gone like a revolving door. Some get carried away by bubbles during a bull market, only to be slammed back to reality by the market, losing everything. I have seen too many stories like this.

Talking about myself, in 2021 I earned my first significant amount of money from BTC. At that time, I was really young and confident, thinking I had figured out the market. I talked about "bull and bear cycles" and "pattern shifts," but in my mind, I was still thinking "Can still push, keep holding."

Then reality taught me a harsh lesson— when the bull turns into a bear, and the trend reverses, not only do profits vanish, but even the principal can’t be protected. That period was really tough.

But I chose not to give up. I started reviewing my trades obsessively, listing out the reasons for each liquidation. I spent a full month before I finally realized: the problem wasn’t that I didn’t know how to trade, but that greed, luck, and impulsiveness were at the root.

After that, I set three iron rules for myself, to be straightforward:
**No heavy positions, no ambiguity, must cut losses.**

It was really hard at the start. While others went all-in during a breakout, I restrained myself to small positions; while others went all-in on hot coins, I kept observing. During that period, seeing various double or triple screenshots in the group, I felt the itch, but I held on.

Three months later, my account grew from a few thousand to thirty thousand. After another three months, it doubled to over a hundred thousand. Though the growth wasn't as "flashy," this steady progress completely changed my mindset.

When the bull market returned, my mentality was entirely different. While others still went all-in, I split my positions; while others greedily took profits, I took partial profits early; while others panicked and sold, I added to my positions. I kept a steady rhythm with main coins like $SOL and $ETH. My account stayed in the green, and more than how much I earned, the strength of my mindset became the biggest gain.

My current trading logic is simple— no gambling, only focus on opportunities I believe in, which actually makes my profit efficiency higher. This has been the most important realization over the past ten years.

If you are also exploring the path of digital assets, ask yourself: are you gambling or trading? Those who truly make consistent profits are those who control risk. Hesitation can indeed make you miss the market, but reckless impulsiveness can cause you to miss your entire trading career.
