Regarding the long-term prospects of the crypto market, my view is very clear: believe in the upward trend, but absolutely do not be superstitious that prices will rise straight up all the way.

The market has its own temper. Short-term corrections, fluctuations, and even declines are normal rhythms. Those who truly make money are not those betting on every single K-line, but those who can maintain their faith amid volatility and have enough patience to wait.

The trend will reward your conviction, but only if you can endure the tests. Every price adjustment is testing how firm your resolve is. Some get scared out, while others add to their positions, leading to completely different outcomes.

Be mentally prepared, believe in the direction, but don't be overly optimistic about the process — this is my advice to myself and to everyone.

Really, only those who can endure can make money. Well said. --- Mental preparation is crucial. Most people fail because of their mindset. --- Adding positions or running away depends on whether you believe in yourself. --- Wait a minute, the words sound good, but when the pullback comes, who can really add positions? --- That's why retail investors and institutions are so different; their persistence levels are completely different. --- Volatility is normal. The question is whether you still have money in your pocket to keep playing. --- It sounds very reasonable, but we all know that when that moment comes, anyone might panic.

That's true, but there are actually very few people who can withstand several rounds of 50% cuts. Adding positions and cutting losses just differ by mindset; it seems simple but is actually the hardest.

That's right, but the hardest part is the psychological barrier. I've seen too many people shouting "long-term hold," only to cut their losses and run when it drops 10%... In reality, there are only two types of people: those who truly believe, and those who only say they believe.

That's right, it's all about endurance. I've seen too many people cut their losses and panic sell when the market drops, only to watch others make huge profits... Mindset is really much more difficult than technical skills.

Exactly right, the key is still the mindset. Those who watch the market every day tend to lose the most.

Late at night, I was checking the gas tracker until 3 a.m., saving a mere 0.5 gwei in miner tips, only to lose another two hundred dollars on a cross-chain operation... I guess this is my conviction.

It sounds good, but when the price really drops, I still lose my composure. I've seen too many people do the same.

That's a good point, but what I fear most isn't the decline, but falling into the illusion of "this time is different"... Only those with a strong mindset truly survive.

There's nothing wrong with this statement, but honestly, most people won't make it to that day; once their mentality collapses, it's over. It's much easier to talk than to do; very few can add to their positions when the market drops 20%. That's just how it is—having faith and actually having money are two different things. Wait, are you implying that I should go all in, or are you trying to dissuade me? By the way, can faith really be used as food... Just kidding, but I've seen too many people get shaken out. Even if your mental preparation is good, it's useless without enough ammunition. I agree with this logic, but staying rational during volatility is a hundred times harder than believing in the direction. It sounds right, but in practice, who isn't cutting losses while the market is falling? It's really just a gamble on your psychological resilience; that's why there are so few winners.
