Your circle shapes your destiny. That's the brutal truth nobody wants to hear.

Stand with 4 people drowning in debt? Welcome to debt number 5.

Stand with 4 fitness obsessives? Don't be surprised when you're hitting the gym at 5 AM.

Stand with 4 crypto degenerates? You'll be the fifth one checking charts at 3 AM.

Stand with 4 successful traders? Odds are you'll be thinking like a fifth successful trader.

Losers attract losers. Winners attract winners. It's really that straightforward.

In crypto, this rule hits different. Your telegram group, your Discord, your trading buddies—they're not just noise. They're the filter through which you see market opportunities and risk. Copy the mindset of people who panic-sold at bottoms, and guess what happens to your portfolio? Copy the discipline of people who DCA consistently through bear markets? That's a totally different game.

The question isn't whether you'll become like those around you. The question is: are you intentional about choosing your circle, or are you just drifting with whoever happens to show up?

Choose wisely.

Haha, looking at charts at 3AM is really intense. The few people in my TG group are just like that. --- Well said. I’m the fifth person who was brought into the crypto world. --- DCA is indeed different for disciplined people. They really are different. --- Choosing the wrong circle is more terrifying than losing money, seriously. --- Wow, isn’t this exactly my current state... still browsing Discord in the middle of the night. --- Discipline is truly a watershed; it’s not just about returns. --- So now I’m looking for those four successful traders, haha. --- Honestly, most people don’t even realize this. --- Telegram group members are panic selling, and I’m selling along with them. A painful lesson.

ngl the discord/tg filter thing is where it gets dangerous... you're literally swimming in a dark forest with whoever picked up a flashlight first. panic sellers aren't just loud, they're *contagious*.

NGL, that comment really hit home. The guy around me keeps shouting to buy the dip, but it's all counter-trend trades. Now I'm starting to doubt myself too...
