Blindly following influencers with many followers often leads to losing one's own judgment. Seemingly lively herd trading is actually gambling your own wallet with others' risks.

The traders who truly survive are those who follow their own path—familiar with a certain field, establish their own trading system, and stick to their strategic logic. It's not that they don't consider others' ideas, but they have their own opinions. Those who lack originality and copy others' methods will be quickly eliminated by the market.

Instead of wasting energy on influencers, it's better to spend time honing your own trading skills. Finding the cryptocurrencies, cycles, and entry points you excel at is more valuable than chasing after anyone else.

Listening to this, I can't help but think of those friends who got liquidated, really speechless. Following the trend, to put it simply, is just to save effort, but in the end, all the money is lost. Having a complete logical framework is better than anything else; the market doesn't deceive, only fools are deceived. No matter how fancy the big V's words are, they are just someone else's story; your wallet is the real thing. That's why I insist on a half-position strategy, leaving room for trial and error. Blindly following big V's is like walking a maze with a map; in the end, you still have to find the exit yourself. Wake up, no one can keep making money for you forever, unless you're out of money.

Remembering those who followed the trend and got liquidated, truly astonishing --- Big V signals? I still trust my own candlestick charts --- Sounds good, but the key is to survive the next bear market to make it count --- That's why I never copy homework; I only learn after experiencing losses myself --- People who constantly follow Big V updates are basically cannon fodder --- Building your own system is indeed difficult, but it’s much less risky than blindly following others --- Many in the crypto world have made huge mistakes by chasing trends, worth reflecting on --- Instead of waiting for Big V to call signals, it's better to check if your own holding logic is correct --- The market never deceives; it’s always our greed that tricks us

Following the trend has turned everyone into a leek (retail investor), there's no doubt about that. --- You're absolutely right. Most people who follow big V's signals have lost money. --- You still need your own strategy; otherwise, trading is just a waste. --- That's why I never follow the crowd. Doing your own research is more reliable. --- Even big V's can make mistakes. Why would you entrust your assets to them? --- The market eliminates those who blindly follow trends without thinking—wake up, everyone. --- Finding your own rhythm is the key; there's no need to constantly watch big V's. --- Many people have gone bankrupt just by chasing big V's. It's time to learn a lesson.

That's so true. The people around me are following the trend every day, and now they've all become retail investors. I truly understand; only by stepping into the pit can you really learn trading. Following the crowd is just paying tuition. I'm now focusing on the sectors I'm familiar with, and life is much more comfortable. These days, fewer people have their own opinions; most are just destined to get cut. Refining your trading system is more important than anything else. It took me two years to find my rhythm. Following big V influencers? I’ve muted them all. Now I only watch my own candlestick charts. Really, listening to too many opinions can just throw you off. Sticking to your own logic is the safest. Those who switch between following this big V and that one should have been out long ago.

It's not wrong to say that, but I've observed for over two years that 99% of the people following big influencers can't stick to their own approach. They talk more beautifully than they act. Following the trend is just for peace of mind; if you lose money, you can blame others. When you develop your own system, you have to take full responsibility. The psychological barrier is hard to overcome. Hey, I just want to ask, those traders who actually make money, did they also follow the trend at the beginning? Why were they able to find their own path from the start?
