Many people have been navigating the digital asset space for ten years, only to find themselves still at the starting point. This is not a matter of time, but of methods and cognition.

Just like standing in front of an ATM for ten years, the machine won't spit out money just because of your patience. The same applies to trading. Those who repeatedly make the same mistakes with mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, and others, even if they persist for ten years, their errors will not turn into correct practices.

Trading with outdated ideas for ten years may not accumulate experience, but could instead entrench bad habits. It’s only at this stage that people start thinking about finding direction or changing their mindset, but the cost is often high. The real challenge is letting go of the past self — this requires not passion, but persistent calmness.

A ten-year trading journey should be a huge wealth. Reviewing, reflecting, and recording — most people have done these. But the key issue many haven't identified — those trading habits have long been ingrained in the subconscious, becoming automatic bodily reactions. Ten years is enough to turn any behavior into instinct, whether good or bad.

The reason bad habits are hard to change is that they are too natural, like breathing without thought. In professional trading training, there is a fundamental lesson: controlling breathing. Because at the moment of floating losses, the first thing a person loses control of is their breath. When breathing becomes chaotic, decision-making begins to collapse.
