Entering the crypto market, psychological tests often come before financial returns. Market fluctuations, account losses, emotional swings—these are all part of the journey. The market will not treat everyone gently. Those who truly make money first win in mindset. Being able to withstand the shocks of rapid price surges and drops, resist the temptations of fear and greed, and stick to your trading discipline—these are the keys to success. The weak are eliminated in volatility, while the strong transform through challenges. The crypto world has never lacked opportunities; what it lacks are resilient individuals who can survive until they witness the returns.

It sounds good, but I think most people simply can't endure the first wave of sharp decline. Mindset is indeed important, but luck can't be ignored either. It's the same old story... Usually, the ones who survive in the end are those all-in gamblers. Really, fewer than one in ten who understand trading discipline, the other nine are all chasing highs and selling lows. It's human weakness—who can truly say they've never been driven by fear? Opportunities are everywhere, but the deadly part is that the vast majority of people choose the wrong ones.

Really, mindset is something that's easy to talk about but extremely difficult to practice. I've seen many top players break down emotionally after a big drop. --- Every sentence hits home. Some people just never learn; they have to chase highs and get caught. --- Living to see the moment of returns sounds easy, but how many people can endure this process? --- Rather than saying it's a psychological test, it's more about eliminating those who aren't greedy enough. Haha. --- Honestly, compared to making money, avoiding losses in the first place is already a form of screening people. --- Having a good mindset ≠ making more money. I don't quite agree with this logic. It also depends on luck and timing. --- Here we go again, same old argument. I've never heard of anyone never losing money just because they have a good mindset. --- Talking about sticking to trading discipline sounds nice, but how many can actually do it in reality? --- The idea that the weak are eliminated sounds a bit brutal, but it's true here. --- The last sentence really hits home. Living to that moment is truly not easy. How many give up halfway?

That's right, mindset is truly the top priority. I just couldn't control my greed, every time Bitcoin surged I would go all-in impulsively, and now my account has already lost 30% of its value haha. Only now, late at night, do I realize that no matter how perfect the technical analysis is, it can't save a paper-handed trader like me.

That's right, I was taught this way. After losing money last year, I realized that technical analysis is useless; mindset is everything. Now I can watch the coin prices plummet and still sleep peacefully—this is something I learned through experience.

That's right, but right now my mind is full of losses. I don't even think about mindset anymore. --- Talking about mindset is easy, but have you tried when you actually lose 50%? --- Living to see the moment of returns? I just want to live until next week without liquidation. --- So basically, those with strong mental resilience make money, while those with poor mental health pay tuition, right? --- I just want to know if those "resilient ones" are doing okay now. Haven't they been taught a lesson by the market?
