#数字资产生态回暖 Why are more and more people silently saying goodbye to the crypto world? Rather than saying it's because the market is bad, it's more about falling into your own traps.



Many who have immersed themselves in this market for years have seen the surge of a bull market and experienced the hardships of a bear market. What’s the difference between those who survive and those who exit? Usually, it comes down to these few deadly habits:

**Chasing highs and selling lows** — Only excited when prices surge, rushing in; panicking when there's a correction, selling at a loss, and repeatedly messing with themselves.

**Going all-in with heavy positions** — Correctly judging the trend, but getting shaken out during mid-term consolidation; unable to withstand hours of volatility, and stopping out just before a rebound.

**Emotion-driven decisions** — Investing all chips impulsively, losing the necessary flexibility; when real opportunities arrive, the ammo is already spent.

To put it simply, it's not the market that causes losses, but habits.

I've summarized a practical short-term strategy. It sounds simple, but it really works:

**Hold steady:** Don't rush to participate during consolidations. When prices are high and stagnant for a while, wait; during low volatility, observe first. Jumping in without following the rhythm only invites trouble.

**Avoid getting caught in crossfire:** Sideways markets are the most draining mentally. It's better to actively avoid them and wait until the trend is clear.

**Follow the trend:** Consider entering when the daily close is bearish, and think about taking profits when it's bullish.

**Watch the rhythm:** Don’t rush to buy during slow declines; rapid drops may actually present rebound opportunities. Speed and patience feel completely different.

**Diverse entries:** Everyone has seen what happens when you go all-in at once. Enter in parts; keep some ammunition for changing conditions.

**Don’t chase extreme markets:** After sharp rises or falls, wait for a consolidation to verify the trend before acting. Chasing orders is often the starting point of losses.

Those who thrive long-term in this market are often not the smartest, but those who can stay calm, wait patiently, and remain composed. What do you think?

That crazy gamble was really a blood and tears lesson. Now I enter in batches, and my sleep quality has improved a lot haha

That's right, I was the one who lost the most in that wave because of emotional trading. Going all-in with a heavy position is really a poison; I've seen too many people get wiped out during volatility. The key is to wait; sideways trading is the hardest, but you can't resist and end up dead. I only understand now the strategy of entering in batches—regret.

That's so true. I myself have fallen into this trap before, chasing highs and cutting losses has been quite the ordeal for me. Really, not being able to sit still is more fatal than not being able to see clearly. That all-in move almost wiped me out. Now I've learned my lesson: splitting into batches is the way to go. The money I impulsively threw in earlier, I don't even have time to regret. Consolidation is the hardest to endure; doing nothing is better than blindly moving. A slight decline on the daily chart feels like this strategy is truly simple and effective. Those who can wait will win. I'm currently practicing this skill.

Oh wow, you're so right. I'm the kind of guy who can't hold on for a few hours and ends up cutting losses. I'm still reflecting on it. The point about buying in batches really hit me. I previously went all in at once and got shaken out, which crushed my mood for a long time. Being able to sit still is truly more valuable than being smart. That hits home. Watching others steadily make money, and looking back at my own records of chasing gains and selling losses, I feel so speechless. I really need to remember the advice of not moving. Always being restless is probably the real poison. It's exactly like my past experiences—cutting losses before dawn every time, really exhausting myself.

Really, those who can't survive are all just impulsive and can't hold back. I've seen too many cases like that. --- Using the strategy of entering in batches for over a year has definitely made my mindset much more comfortable. I no longer feel anxious after jumping in all at once and then can't sleep. --- Consolidation is the most torturous; it's better to go out for a walk instead. Watching the market instead makes it easier to make impulsive moves. --- Being able to sit still is really a skill. Most of those around me who make profits are basically Zen-like—it's not really about being smart. --- What you're saying is spot on, but I still often can't control myself. Haha, I'm really bad at this. --- The most frightening thing is that impulse to rush in when prices drop quickly. Every time I rush in, I end up buying at the top. --- Habits are more important than anything. No matter how good your skills are, if your temper is bad, it’s useless. --- People who chase after sudden surges in price usually have no good ending. I'm telling you this at a cost. --- Being well-stocked with ammunition is a brilliant point. Staying in cash and waiting is actually the hardest lesson. --- The state of not moving can’t really be cultivated; you have to be beaten up by the market a few times first.

That's right, but I just can't quit the habit of chasing highs, always thinking this wave can turn around. Where did those people who went all in go now? No one dares to speak up anymore. I need to remember the trick of entering in batches; otherwise, running out of bullets really makes you anxious. The term "lying in the crossfire" is perfect; during sideways trading, my mentality collapses completely. Calm? I've never been calm, which is probably why I've been losing money all along haha. The logic of closing the daily chart sounds reliable, but when it comes to actual trading, I get confused. That last sentence really hit home; smart people have long been taught how to deal with the market.

The words are good words, but I found that these past few years, I was just fooled by the phrase "being able to sit still," and in the end, I was shaken out. --- Really, the theory of boarding in batches sounds comfortable, but in practice, it's just torturing your mindset, the more you do it, the more mentally exhausting it becomes. --- I have deep experience with not moving... when reorganizing, it really consumes the most brainpower, and it's better to just sleep deeply. --- Ultimately, it's still a matter of self-control. I've never seen anyone who can truly follow this process without breaking the rules. --- I still remember the feeling at the moment of placing the stop-loss before dawn, damn. --- Wait, does this mean most people simply can't stay so calm? Then should I give up on the illusion?

That hits too close to home. I'm the kind of person who chases gains and sells off during dips, getting shaken out the worst, always selling at the lowest point haha. Being unable to sit still is a problem, it needs to be fixed. With just this much eating noodles, I want to run away at a 5% dip. The real money-makers are definitely those with a dull personality, they look particularly boring. I only now understand the strategy of buying in batches, why didn't I do this earlier? Waiting for a clear direction before acting, it sounds simple but why is it so hard to do? I have to admit it's my own lack of skill, not the market's.
