In the crypto world, choosing often matters more than working hard.

Many people study candlestick charts daily and follow trends to trade, but still end up losing money. Meanwhile, some can achieve consistent profits — the difference isn't in how much they work, but in starting points. Choosing the right track, the right entry timing, the right exchange and tools — these decisions carry far more weight than subsequent hard work.

The volatility of the crypto market makes it easier to create wealth gaps. A single decision of yours could rewrite the fate of your entire account. So instead of working tirelessly, it's better to ask yourself first: Is my choice right?

To be honest, there's nothing wrong with that statement, but how many people can really do it? I know several who study daily about choices and selecting tracks, yet they still end up losing everything. Picking the right entry timing to achieve stable profits? That's a pipe dream. The market can change suddenly; can you really stop it? That said, there's some truth to it. I personally suffered big losses early on because I chose the wrong exchange. Anyway, that's just how this circle is; luck and choices are pretty much equally important.

Basically, it's all about luck. My account is a bloody lesson. I have seriously studied K-line charts for two years, but I still got trapped badly. Now I understand—if I had known earlier, I would have sold in the morning.

You're right, but the problem is that most people can't tell what the right choice is at all. Feeling like you've made the right choice, but still losing money—I'm a living example of that. The starting point really determines everything; those who got in early are already financially free. Instead of obsessing over choices, it's better to first learn how to survive without getting cut off.

Basically, it's about choosing the right track. Those who got in early made a fortune, while later entrants suffer heavy losses. No matter how hard they try, it's all in vain.

Well said. My biggest regret now is that I entered a bit too late. Choosing the right opportunity is indeed far more important than effort. I’ve learned this lesson the hard way. If you pick the wrong track, no matter how hard you hustle, it’s all in vain. It’s better to spend time thinking about the next step and where to go from here.

That's right, I am the living example of failure... Watching the market every day and still losing badly, I regret not choosing the right track back then. Damn, isn't this my story? The starting point really made all the difference. Choice > Effort, I agree with that, but the problem is, who can always choose correctly? If I had known it would be like this, I might as well have gone gambling, at least I would have accepted losing willingly. Deciding to change my fate is the right move, but the key is, every decision I make is rewriting it in a downward direction.

That's right, I'm the kind of person who works hard but still ends up losing money. When luck is on your side and you pick the right coin, it can double in a month. When luck isn't on your side and you choose the wrong track, it's a long bear market. Now I finally realize that timing the entry is really crucial. Choice is indeed much more valuable than effort. I am a living lesson. I missed the chance to get on board during this wave of the market, and now watching others take off is truly despairing.
