Surviving in the crypto market is more important than running fast.

When I first entered the crypto market, I felt like I was possessed—I would wake up in the middle of the night to check the charts, and all I could see under my eyelids were the dancing numbers. Following trades, chasing gains, going all in—this combination led to my account balance inflating and evaporating in less than six months 😣.

Later, I figured it out: the market doesn't care how smart you are, it cares about whether you can endure. Making money has never relied on a stroke of luck, but rather on being able to stay calm and not self-sabotage—how many people don't die at the mercy of the market, but die from their own panic and trembling hands.

I've seen too many "anxious ghosts": when the bull market comes, they're afraid of missing the ride, chasing highs and standing guard; when the bear market drops, they're scared of losing everything, cutting losses and fleeing for their lives. The market swings like a pendulum, and they sway along with it, ultimately getting thrown out. When last year's market was cold to the freezing point, a buddy kept asking me every day, "Should I buy the dip?" I told him to hold on, and he stubbornly resisted for four months without making a move. By the time the signal appeared early this year, he dove in, and his account tripled in three months. He told me it was a tough wait, and I simply replied: "Only those who can endure will reap the rewards"🚀.

The most ruthless move in the market isn't the crash, but the anxiety of "everyone else is making money while I'm missing out." Seeing others flaunt their profits makes you rush in at the peak, while seeing others panic-sell makes you doubt your life choices. Those who truly know how to play understand — they trade infrequently, but each time they time it right. They don't chase after the crowd or gamble their lives; they only place bets at critical positions, and one wave of market movement is enough to last an entire season.

Want to turn things around in the crypto market? Don't dream of getting rich quickly just yet; first, learn how to avoid losses. Your capital is your ticket to enter; only by protecting it can you qualify to continue playing.

When you can stabilize your emotions, endure loneliness, and control your hands, the market will eventually reward those who are patient✨. Now that the Federal Reserve has restarted its interest rate cuts, ETH whales are increasing their holdings, and the SEC is also promoting innovative regulation, these signals remind us: the real opportunities belong to those who can wait.
