There is a heartbreaking phenomenon in the market—cognitive level determines how much money a person can make.

A trader with only a superficial understanding of the market, even when facing losses, remains obsessed with their own judgment. They refuse to learn, refuse to change their thinking, and firmly believe in their intuition. And what about those who actually make money in investing? They are the opposite—they dare to question themselves, are willing to learn mature investment theories, and continuously iterate their trading logic.

This is the key difference. When a person begins to doubt their own ideas and truly understands validated investment methodologies, their profit curve starts to be rewritten.

In simple terms, the opportunities each person can think of are fundamentally limited by their knowledge structure and cognitive level. Some see Bitcoin and think of risk; others see the same trend but can identify cyclical opportunities. The same market, different cognition, leads to completely different results. This is not luck; it is inevitable.

To be honest, the traders around me who stubbornly hold on are truly living textbooks. Whenever they lose, they blame market manipulation and never reflect on their garbage strategies. Cognition is the ceiling; if you can't break through, you'll always be stuck in the same level. Isn't that terrifying?

That's right, but I have to add one more thing — I am the kind of person who knows a little but insists on being stubborn. I only understood this after going all-in on three worthless coins. When I was cutting losses, I really thought about quitting the circle. Now, I’ve learned some candlestick theory and think I’m capable, and yesterday I spotted a potential new star. This time, I definitely won't repeat the same mistakes... right?

There's nothing wrong with what you said, but most people simply can't listen. Obsession, you know, is even more frightening than the loss itself.

There's nothing wrong with that, but the real difficulty is admitting you're not good enough... Most people still blame luck when they're about to die.

To be honest, this is a true reflection of the people around me... Still stubbornly sticking to their own judgment, blaming the market when they lose.

That's what they say, but I've seen too many people who think they've achieved enlightenment end up losing everything.

That's true, but the problem is that most people don't realize how inexperienced they really are.
