In the world of capital, truly knowledgeable people are never afraid of losses.

The scale of wealth flowing in the market is far larger than most people imagine. I’ve never seen a truly capable investor become uneasy because of a temporary drawdown. That’s the rule of this game—no risk, no return.

Market fluctuations are like tides. Sometimes your account is in the green, sometimes your net value plunges. But neither state should define you, nor should they be excuses for standing still.

Don’t obsess over P&L and specific numbers all day. Instead of stressing over current losses, focus your energy on finding high-quality opportunities that can truly turn your assets around. Every loss is a tuition fee, not the end.

Being willing to accept possible losses is better than completely avoiding risk. The former may be rugged, but it can open the door to new opportunities; the latter is like a dead end, destined to yield nothing.

Luck doesn’t come out of nowhere; it’s the result of proactive creation. Position yourself correctly so that opportunities can find you, and your chances of success will soar. Conversely, misplacing yourself will reduce your probability to zero.

That's true, but how many people can really stay so calm and composed?

It sounds good, but there are very few who can truly withstand a plunge. Losses are just tuition fees? You have to stay alive to learn. Positioning is easier to talk about than to do; I don't believe everyone can find the right one. Talking about luck being created again, okay, then let's see who creates it more fiercely. When the net value plunges, who is still thinking about opportunities? Survive first.

Ironically, I heard this set of rhetoric in 2017. Where have those people gone now? Data shows: retail investors willing to "accept losses" have an average liquidation rate of 82%, yet people are still talking about probability surges. Interesting, packaging gambling as "finding opportunities" sounds much more professional. I'm not trying to criticize, but those who truly understand the industry have known for a long time—most of the time, "the right position" is the opposite of what the exchange is doing. Losing money as tuition? Unfortunately, the market never gives a retake opportunity. Every time I see articles like this, I want to ask: is there data to support it, or is it just intuition?

That's right, the key is to survive until that day. Hmm... It all sounds correct, but I still panic at the moment of real loss. Who the hell can accurately see the high-quality opportunities to break the deadlock... Is the position right or wrong? Honestly, it's still about guessing. If this had been said in 2021, it would be even more exciting. The tuition is too expensive; I can't afford that kind. It's not the loss that scares me, but running out of bullets after losing. So the question is, what exactly counts as a "correct position"?

The data shows... the loss curve has returned to a historical low, although real returns have never been so easily achieved. Wait a bit longer, hourly fluctuations are not worth paying attention to; the real issues are the mechanisms where miners eat up too much and gas fees are unreasonable. No matter how eloquently you put it, it won't change the inevitable market collapse trend, but... opportunities indeed always exist in the darkest places. When the account net value plunges, we're here; when it turns green, we're here too. Anyway, sooner or later, a full cycle will be experienced.

That's right, a pullback is really nothing, it's the mindset that matters 😤 Honestly, those who only hold cash end up with nothing in the end Another article saying "losses are tuition," I don't believe you haha Feel a pang for your wallet for a second Breaking the level is the way to break the deadlock, I like this saying People who watch K-line charts every day are just bagholders The risk is right there, you can't dodge it, so better to face it head-on Is paying tuition satisfying? I paid a bit too much The core is to have spare money; without spare money, you can't bear any risk Probability game, a gambler's self-cultivation Losing yourself in the right position is truly brilliant This theory can be applied to anything, but the wallet won't agree

It sounds good, but less than 1% of people can truly stick with it.

You're right, I'm just worried about that kind of mentality that crashes at the first loss.

Basically, you need to have a big heart; otherwise, you can't play this game. Losses are normal; just get used to it. Opportunities can only be found in risk, this is a principle I’ve understood long ago. I really don’t understand those people who are terrified every day watching K-line charts. Choose the right position, and the rest is just waiting for time to realize the gains.
