Yesterday, a friend sent a screenshot showing a loss of 300,000.
He said he wanted to quit the crypto world and deleted all trading apps. I said okay, I support you.
This morning at 7 AM, he sent another message: Bro, look at STORJ skyrocketing, I bought some again last night.
This is the most authentic side of the crypto world.
You think you're a rational trader, but in reality, you're just a gambler. The reason the coin isn't falling is because you haven't bought, and the reason it isn't rising is because you haven't sold. That’s a harsh truth, but it's real.
I've seen too many people like this. Crying and sobbing when they lose money, swearing never to touch it again. After a sleep, seeing others share their profits in the group, and then the itch to trade returns.
Why does this happen?
Because the crypto world gives ordinary people an illusion: I can also get rich quickly. Watching others multiply their investments tenfold in a few days, you think you can do it too. But what you don't realize is that those sharing their gains might have already lost hundreds of thousands before.
People who truly make money in crypto never reveal their secrets. They just buy quietly, sell quietly. And those who shout signals every day are mostly just trying to harvest your gains.
What's the most frightening thing? You know these truths, but still can't control yourself. It's like knowing gambling will lose money, but still wanting to try your luck when you see others winning.
If you're still going all-in with your entire fortune, I hope you succeed. If you've already made enough, then withdraw more.
