Entering the crypto space to trade, the most important lesson is to learn independent thinking. Those claiming they will teach you for free are essentially just trying to get you to copy their trades to share the profits. This logic applies in any market.



Recently, I noticed a phenomenon: someone’s own altcoin is stuck halfway up a mountain, yet they try to persuade others to open long positions. When questioned, they say, "Only smart people can seize the opportunity." This sounds impressive, but in reality, they are just looking for someone to take over their position.

To survive in this market, there are no shortcuts. The only way is to continuously improve your cognitive level. Learn more technical skills, practice with real trades, backtest historical data, and ask yourself: If I were to operate, how much would I lose? Through these repeated losses, your trading intuition will truly grow.

Regarding altcoins, honestly, most of them are just a game of musical chairs. After the market maker finishes issuing the coins, you’re left with a pile of "electronic garbage." Many projects that have experienced a crash never recover. Why? Because the main players have already left.

Looking at the RAVE market this time, it’s clear—things that rise 200% in a day can also fall 200%. Many people shout that it will reach 1U, but what’s the result? There’s no such thing as precise market prediction. Fake breakouts are everywhere, and a few minutes before a real trend arrives, no one can see clearly who will cancel their orders first—buyers or sellers. Even more heartbreaking, sometimes small price fluctuations aren’t due to real demand; they’re just the main players absorbing liquidity, guiding retail investors in one direction, then suddenly reversing and trapping you, using you as fuel.

I went through this myself initially—drawing on TradingView every day, just comforting myself. Later, I realized that the market’s complexity far exceeds imagination. Instead of blindly trusting technical indicators, it’s better to focus on fundamentals, so you can survive longer in the market.

Another "Truth Brother," sounds like he's speaking big truths but actually just showing off that he survived The ones who are trapped are the best at convincing others to go long, I believe that He's right but a bit harsh, I am that fool who doodles on TradingView I was also in that RAVE wave, thought I was a genius when it was rising, only realized what the market really is when it fell The strategy of the main players absorbing liquidity, now I understand, the tuition fees paid earlier are enough to buy a house

That's right. Those who shout about free signal services every day will turn around and expect you to take the bait. I've seen too many cases of that. RAVE's recent surge was truly incredible. Many people are still shouting about a 1U increase, but quite a few got cut in half. I've also taken the wrong path before. Two years ago, I drew all kinds of lines on TradingView, only to realize later that I was just self-cope. The key still lies in grounding oneself in fundamentals. Technical indicators are too easy to deceive yourself with. The essence of altcoins is just a game of hot potato. Once the main players withdraw their orders, it's basically game over. Instead of spending every day researching flashy indicators, it's better to backtest historical data and ask yourself what to do when you suffer losses. "Only smart people can seize opportunities." I'm tired of hearing this rhetoric; it's just a prelude to getting others to take the risk. The market is much more complex than you think. The ones who truly make money are not prediction experts, but those who can survive the longest. This sounds a bit harsh, but the reality is that most people lack independent thinking and are addicted to copy trading.

That hits too close to home. Those who shout about leading trades are really outrageous; they lose money themselves but still want you to go long haha. I’ve really encountered RAVE types before—rising fiercely, falling even more fiercely. A bunch of friends in the group were shouting 1U, but they ended up getting hammered down. Technical indicators are just a placebo; watching them for too long only makes you more confused about what's really going on. Instead of drawing lines, it’s better to watch what the main players are doing. Liquidity is the real deal.

Free signals are all scams, and this is no joke. I've seen people get trapped and still promote the market every day, really treating retail investors like ATMs. I almost got on the RAVE wave too, luckily I was quick and didn’t follow. Up 200%, down 200%, these things are just the playground for the manipulators. I've already given up on technical indicators; drawing more lines won’t save the losses. You have to be lucky multiple times to survive. There are always bagholders, and the market just eats up these "smart people" tactics. Basically, there are two options: either make quick money and get cut, or learn to survive slowly. There’s no third way.

That's right, free signal services are just P2P scams; I've seen through this trick early on. The key is to recognize who is taking over and who is being left holding the bag. Fortunately, those who are trapped still have the nerve to advise others to go long—truly incredible. Technical analysis? Ha, it's all self-hypnosis. In the end, it's just the main players harvesting the little guys like weeds. Shitcoins are just a game of pass-the-parcel; once the whales dump, it's none of your business anymore. Things like RAVE, which can double in a day, can just as easily fall through the floor; there's no real prediction involved. The most heartbreaking part of trading isn't losing money; it's realizing you can't see through the market at all. Rather than studying indicators, it's better to focus on living well—don't let vampires use you as fuel. A bunch of people draw lines on TradingView every day, but they're just fooling themselves. Cognition is the only barrier; everything else is just illusions.

Damn, I got trapped in that RAVE surge too, a real painful lesson. That's right, it's just the game of catching the bag, retail investors' lives are like that. Free signals? Haha, they've already jumped on the bandwagon. Technical analysis is useless; it's mainly about how the main players operate. We're just the harvested chives. I also draw on TradingView every day, but I still end up losing terribly. This market is just a casino, there's no inevitability about it. Independent thinking is indeed important, but most people simply can't stay calm and make rational judgments. After losing several times, I realize that stop-loss is even harder than making money.
