"The Handsomest Guy on the Mountain Top"

$BTC
1. I used to not understand why some people refuse to leave after getting hurt.
Until I personally stood on the "mountain top," with the candlestick chart hitting a new high beneath my feet, I told everyone—
The trend is still there, the bull market has just begun.
And what happened?
Before I could leave, the mountain collapsed.
2. I used to not understand why victims of domestic violence don’t leave.
Until I started holding positions myself, telling everyone:
"It will be better tomorrow."
"It's just a shakeout."
"The main force is intimidating."
"A pullback is a buying opportunity."
See, so familiar these lines.
You're not analyzing the market; you're seeking psychological comfort for your position.
3. "Don’t panic during a pullback, the long-term trend is correct."
Until that night, a long upper shadow, like a needle,
Pierced all your illusions.
When the margin call SMS rings,
You suddenly realize—
The so-called long-term trend is just an excuse for refusing to cut losses.
The so-called faith in value is just a cover-up for not admitting mistakes.
...The Handsomest Guy on the Mountain Top...
Many people lose money not because they judge incorrectly,
But because— they refuse to admit mistakes.
Buying at the mountain top isn’t scary,
What’s scary is:
Falling 5% and calling it a shakeout,
Falling 15% and calling it an opportunity,
Falling 30% and calling it adding to positions,
Falling 60% and calling it long-term holding,
Falling 90% and calling it faith.
In the end, only one phrase remains:
"I'm still here."
The market never needs you to persist.
The market only needs you to exit.
The cruelest lesson in trading is
That what you really need to quit isn’t the loss,
But that—
Even when you know it’s wrong,
You still give it time to prove you right.
Many people don’t die in the market,
They die in their pride.
Stop-loss isn’t admitting failure.
It’s refusing to continue getting hurt.
Remember one thing:
Buying at the mountain top isn’t shameful,
Not cutting losses is what kills you.
When you start defending your position,
You’ve already lost.
When you start finding logic for your mistakes,
You’re already sinking.
A truly mature trader
Isn’t the one standing on the mountain top,
But the one who, before stabilizing on the peak,
Has already started descending.
If you’re holding a position now,
Hear me out:
Don’t wait for tomorrow to get better.
The market won’t coddle you.
It will only teach you.
