The crypto market is like this—ups and downs are nothing out of the ordinary. But have you ever thought that time is actually always on the side of those who persevere?

History has long validated this logic, but the real question is how difficult it is to endure until that moment. During market crashes, accounts shrink, and the mental torment can truly drive people crazy. Want to buy the dip but afraid it will get worse, want to cut losses but can't let go of previous beliefs. Emotions are precisely what are most likely to swallow you up in such times.

But this is exactly the point of differentiation. Those who can stay clear-headed amid market chaos and not be driven by fear will gradually emerge. Those who frequently chase highs and sell lows, manipulated by emotions, will pay an even higher price.

True growth begins with overcoming oneself.

That's right, but sticking to it is really too difficult. I've seen too many people can't hold on and just cut their losses and run. The moment the account shrinks, everyone wants to escape. But the question is, what happens after you escape? History rewards those with patience, but the premise is that you have to live until that moment. I almost couldn't hold on during this wave of decline, but luckily I managed to endure in the end. Really, overcoming yourself is a hundred times harder than beating the market. Time is the best touchstone; those who can stay are the tough ones. It's easy to say, but when it comes to actual operation, 99% of people will be defeated by fear. So, this game is fundamentally not about technique, but about mentality. The ones I know who make big money are those who can stay calm when everyone else is going crazy.

That's true, but the real challenge is being able to hold on when the account hits rock bottom. I've seen too many people choose to give up at that moment.

From a technical perspective, psychological research shows that the correlation between emotional fluctuations and decision-making errors is approximately 0.87, which also explains why most retail investors perform so consistently poorly in a bear market.

That's true, but most people can't hold on until that moment. They start doubting life after just one limit-down hit.
