Last month, a friend of mine came to chat with me, saying that his account was about to reach its limit, with a balance of just over two thousand U. #以太坊行情解读 $ZBT


To be honest, this guy isn't a rookie at trading, and his skills haven't fallen behind. The problem isn't there at all. His main issue is—he can't control his hands.

Whenever the market slightly rises, he starts to panic: "I need to act quickly, or I'll miss the chance." When the market pulls back, he's terrified: "Oh my God, does it have to keep falling? I need to cut my losses immediately." $ZEC

This way, he's torn apart by market fluctuations again and again, his account bleeding, and he's draining himself. That day, he helplessly told me, "Really, I can't hold on much longer."

I didn't give him any motivational speeches, nor did I talk about complex technical indicators. I just replied with one sentence:

"With your current capital, it's not meant for doubling. Its only purpose is to calm you down and stop you from messing around."

Many beginners have a obsession, always believing that a turnaround depends on a sudden surge—some coin suddenly skyrockets, they buy at the right moment, and their account takes off.

But those who truly survive long-term in this market? They don't follow this routine. They treat it like a long-term project, brick by brick, steady and sure, not expecting to get rich overnight.

Wait before making a move, really. When the market isn't clear, just pretend it doesn't exist. You don't have to trade every day—that's something most people don't understand. Being able to hold back from acting is actually your greatest weapon.

Reduce your position size so you can afford to lose. What's the benefit of doing this? It means each mistake won't hit you hard. Because you're already mentally prepared, and the loss stays within your capacity to bear.

Shift your mindset from "losing a little money each day" to "earning back a little over several days." It sounds simple, but if you can really stick to this rhythm, your entire mentality will gradually change.

Later, my friend told me that what truly helped him wasn't making a single trade that multiplied his money, but changing his way of thinking before placing an order: "Is this trade worth it for my current mindset?" Just this one question completely changed his perspective on risk.

Now, several months later, his account balance is no longer just over two thousand U.

There were no special operations, no miracles—just doing the right things step by step.

If your current funds are limited or you're feeling a bit exhausted from this wave of market fluctuations, don't rush to prove anything to others. Opportunities are never lacking in the market—the real scarcity is in those who can self-discipline, take it slow, and endure the lows.

It's okay to go slow. As long as you don't act recklessly and keep a steady mindset, you'll eventually wait for your own opportunity. Trust me.

In simple terms, it's a mindset issue. No matter how strong the technology is, it can't save those who are itchy-handed. I've seen similar cases before, and they all ended up dying in emotional trading. Those who truly make long-term profits are the ones who can stay calm to the point of seeming a bit boring. The essence of ROI is not how much profit per single trade is, but how long you can survive. The logic behind the growth of computational power networks is the same—stable and continuous investment in computing power is much more reliable than chasing extreme yields. From this perspective, this guy's transformation indeed aligns with the long-term investment return cycle theory. Going from over two thousand dollars to a turnaround isn't a particularly remarkable story; the key is that he changed the habit of frequent trading. Watching the market daily and trading constantly is basically contributing to the market. My 8-card mining rig taught me one thing—compared to chasing daily profit fluctuations, stable computing power returns are the ultimate determinant of overall gains.

To be honest, I have a lot of say when it comes to controlling my hands; I used to be a ruthless person who could make 5 trades per hour. Really, changing your mindset is more practical than any technical indicator. Now, I always ask myself whether it's worth it before making a move.

To be honest, the moment you can't control your hands, you've already lost. Seeing my friend's 2000U almost gone, I truly empathize... I was also messing around in the last market cycle, and I regret it now when I think about it. However, this article is spot on; the key is mindset. Less trading, reducing positions, asking yourself if it's worth it—sounds simple, but who can really do it? Compared to dreaming of doubling your investment, preserving your principal is actually the hardest lesson.

That really hits home. The disease of being careless is truly incurable; you have to change it gradually on your own.
