Anyone involved in the crypto world should understand that this market is like a gear, constantly cycling between rises and falls.
When prices drop, it uses fear to force you to sell at a loss. When prices rise, it tempts you with greed to chase the high. In the end, those who are most easily swayed by emotions are often the ones who get hurt the most.
To be honest—do you really know where the bottom is? Can you accurately catch the top? Since you're not sure, what should you do when the market is bad? The answer is simple: watch less, worry less. Eat well, sleep well, and keep a steady mindset. Accumulate quietly on one side while waiting for the next opportunity to come.
The worst thing to do when the market is not going well is to mess around blindly. The true winners at this stage are those who control their hands and stop losing money. They have already surpassed most people.
What if you've already lost everything? Instead of pretending to be dead, it's better to face reality quickly. Work honestly, save capital, and use the time spent on pushing and watching charts to do more deals and learn more skills. When the market really turns around, you'll have bullets to jump in. Otherwise? When everyone else has eaten up most of their gains, you'll borrow money to enter the market, often ending up buying at high prices and starting the next round of losses in a vicious cycle.
This script is played out every year, and in the end, only a sigh remains. But truly smart people will store energy during the lows, rather than exhausting hope.

You're absolutely right, controlling your hand really means winning half the battle.

The words are good, but I see that many people just can't control their hands... Truly capable ones are few and far between.

That's right, the problem is that most people simply can't do it, including myself sometimes can't hold on.

You're absolutely right. Instead of staring at the market every day looking for the bottom, it's better to get a good sleep and be more practical.

It's the same old excuse, but I just can't stop chasing highs.
---
Damn, isn't this saying that I'm the one being talked about? Losing everything and only now realizing it.
---
Is controlling your hands really the key to winning? Then all my operations this year would have been a waste.
---
Saving energy during a downturn is correct, but the problem is, what do you do when you're out of bullets?
---
I keep telling myself this every time, but when the real market comes, I still can't control myself.
---
The most heartbreaking thing is "buying at a high," everyone who's been through it knows that despair.
---
It sounds simple, but to really execute it, you have to treat yourself like a fierce warrior.
---
Good reminder, but people in the crypto circle have heard this a thousand times. You still have to suffer some losses to truly understand.

Wow, here we go again with "control your hands and you'll win." If that really worked, I would have been financially free long ago.

It's really true. When the bear market arrives, you see people's true colors. Some are frantically trying to buy the dip, only to get trapped. I actually think sometimes doing nothing is the best approach, but it's really hard.
