#比特币流动性 The biggest enemy of making money in the crypto world is actually not technology—it's that restless heart.



I've seen too many people enter the market full of confidence, saying that learning a few more indicators will help them achieve stable profits. But what happens? The losses grow bigger, and they gradually realize: 95% of their account shrinkage is due to emotions, not misjudgment of the market direction.

Greed and fear are like two hands—one pushes to chase the rise, the other desperately sells off the fall. They take quick profits and run, but when they lose a little, they can't hold on. Being tossed back and forth like this, their principal eventually wears away to nothing.

The three most common pitfalls for beginners are straightforward: being too eager to trade, having a restless mind, and overleveraging. Especially when the position size exceeds their psychological limit, even small fluctuations can cause a breakdown. The anxiety from frequent trading is often more deadly than the market itself.

Think about it differently—what are those who truly make money doing? They first master the lesson of stop-loss thoroughly. Stop-loss isn't about cowardice; it's about leaving a way out for the next opportunity. Misjudging the market direction isn't a big deal; refusing to exit in time is the real trap.

There's also a highly underestimated skill—patience. Most market movements aren't worth a full position. Traders who can hold their positions without acting are more likely to wait for the truly high-probability moments, then strike decisively. You don't need to participate every time; just focus on clear opportunities and act with conviction.

Using small positions isn't about being timid. Trading with a light position gives you room to recover from mistakes, stay calmer during volatility, and avoid being forced out of the market.

In the end, trading is a test of your mental strength. When you learn to accept small losses, patiently wait, and only trade with positions you can sleep peacefully with, that's when you truly enter the world of steady profits. Reduce impulsive decisions, develop a sense of rhythm, and the market will favor those who can stay calm and patient.

Ha, that hits too close to home. I'm the one who gets slapped in the face for being too eager. It's just about stop-loss, easy to say but really hard to do. I've now understood the importance of light positions; I shouldn't touch trades that keep me awake at night. Wait, then how do I explain that my buddy doubled his full position? Who's the market favoring now? This kind of talk is good for fooling newbies, but old-timers should understand there's a luck component involved. It's really just greed and fear fighting each other, and I can't do anything about it. Mindset is truly more valuable than indicators, but why is it still so hard to follow? Is it really that difficult to hold steady? I've tried, but I always try to catch the bottom, only to buy halfway up the mountain. I've jumped into this trap of position sizing at least five times, and I still can't change.

It's not wrong, but the hardest part is the mindset. --- My friend lost 200,000 before realizing this, it's too late. --- Trading with a small position is truly the best, sleep quality directly maximizes. --- I was stuck on the stop-loss for a long time, now I understand it's not being cowardly. --- I haven't learned to wait yet, still too eager. --- The moment my position exceeds the bottom line, I feel like I’m falling apart, right everyone? --- Frequent trading is basically suicide trading, I have this problem now. --- People who make money are really just waiting, while we are just messing around. --- Hitting the mark in one shot feels amazing, but you must be patient enough first. --- Emotions are much scarier than K-line charts, to be honest.

That really hits home; I'm the fool who's too quick to act. Really, I need to revisit the lesson on stop-loss. Wait, can a small position really turn around? It still feels like luck is involved. Can you train your temperament? I think I was born unable to sit still. The last sentence hit the mark; indeed, those who can't stay calm deserve to lose.

After all this talk, it's still the same old story: those who can make money are the ones who can endure. Once you enter the crypto world, it's like the deep sea—reckless trading is truly a quick path for the poor. Small positions, stop-loss, patience... sounds simple, but only a handful can actually do it. I just want to ask, does anyone really manage to sleep well at night? Frequent trading is like drug addiction—you just can't stop.

Damn, that hit too close to home. I am that busy-handed 🤡. --- Small positions are the real skill; heavy positions are just asking for death. --- I've paid so much tuition to understand the lesson of stop-loss. --- Wait, wait, it's easy to say but hard to do, brother. --- Really, having a collapsed mentality is even more uncomfortable than losing money. --- Holding down the button without moving is truly amazing; I can't do it. --- Once the position exceeds the bottom line, you're useless. I have deep experience with that. --- So, it's about having a small position + knowing how to wait, simply put. --- The anxiety from frequent operations, uh, is really more deadly than the market itself. --- Those who can sleep well are indeed making money. I'm suffering from insomnia.

Honestly, mindset is really the key to victory. Those around me who make money all have strong mental resilience. Frequent trading is truly suicidal. Watching the account fluctuate makes you want to intervene, but the more you intervene, the more you lose. Stop-loss is just giving yourself a backup plan. Giving up doesn't mean you're useless; I realized this truth too late. Trading with small positions and sleeping well—that's the real strategy. There's no need to buy the dip every time. The ability to wait is seriously underestimated. Those who can hold their ground actually earn the most comfortably.
