Successful investing is actually that simple—make the right choices, and hold for the long term.
But knowing it and actually doing it are two very different things. The most heartbreaking thing is that most people tend to give up at the very moment they should persevere.
Have you experienced this too? When the bull market arrives, you get excited and go all in, only to become a bag holder at the peak. Then, when the bear market hits, fear takes over, and you can’t help but sell in panic as the price drops. After selling, the market quickly rebounds, and you can only watch helplessly.
This cycle traps too many people. The market is always testing your psychological resilience. Those who truly make money are not necessarily the ones with the most perfect choices, but rather those who can stay rational in panic and maintain restraint in greed.

You're not wrong, but it sounds annoying, because I am that unfortunate person who goes all-in at high positions and cuts losses at low positions.

Haha, it's long-term holding again. It sounds simple but actually doing it is deadly.
Honestly, I've heard this theory so many times, but the execution is just terrible. I am also a victim.
The moment I cut my losses, I really wanted to die. When it rebounded later, I regretted it so much I was almost crying.
Psychological resilience is probably the key factor, not the eye for choosing coins.

Good morning, the midnight arbitrageurs are here at 3 a.m. To put it simply, human nature is being cooked to death by market robots; whoever can resist eating this bowl of bloodied soup wins.

Going all in and then cutting losses to run — I've seen this dance too many times, just like a precise sandwich attack — your panic is someone else’s liquidity.
---
Long-term holding? First, ask yourself if you can withstand the price shock at midnight. Most people can't even last until dawn.
---
Knowing is easy, doing is hard — this is how the market survives. Your psychological bottom line is the best prey in the dark pool.
---
The ones making real money place their orders while sleeping; when awake, they only get bitten by their own greed.
---
This cycle trap, to be honest, is just machines feeding human emotions. You think you're making decisions, but actually, you're being arbitraged.
---
Bull market buyers, bear market cut losses — classic two-act play. Time cost is the most expensive, but most people are unwilling to spend it.
---
Can you remain rational in panic? Friend, that’s called there’s no real money involved. Once your own funds are at stake, rationality disappears like gas fees.

That's correct, but how many times have I heard this before... The key is still my own mindset; I get panicked at the slightest dip.
