After nearly ten years of investing in the crypto world, I have transitioned from a novice getting on board to a player with a certain scale. The biggest gain over the years is not actually the numbers in my account, but the fewer pitfalls I've encountered, a more stable mindset, and consequently fewer worries—this is definitely not due to luck, but rather an early understanding of certain market rules.



Today, I have整理了 six insights summarized with real money. I can’t guarantee that it will make you rich, but if you want to survive longer and more steadily in this market, these may be more useful than reading ten research reports.

**Rule 1: Only recognize absolute trends, don't fight against the market**
The market is always right. It has no temper and only speaks through prices. What I refer to as "absolute trend" is that kind of big market movement that once it starts, even the project party and big players have to follow suit. My approach is very straightforward: I never operate against the market, and as soon as I realize the logic is wrong, I immediately admit defeat and stop loss.

I basically do not participate in those market conditions that fluctuate up and down repeatedly. Don't think about fighting the waves in the rocky area; the trend is your true friend.

**Article 2: Learn from hunters to sit still and wait for opportunities, don't learn from fishermen to cast nets randomly**
The market operates 24 hours a day, but that doesn't mean you have to trade 24 hours a day. Frequent actions are the fastest way to wear down your principal with trading fees and emotional stress. Most of the time, I am actually observing and waiting. Real high-return opportunities may only arise a few times a year, so wait for moments when the risk-reward ratio is extremely high and the logic is flawless, then act decisively.

Usually, chaotic operations only scare away opportunities and wear down one's mindset.

Veteran players say it right, stop loss is the key to survival. I was worn out by frequent operations in the early days, and now I've learned to wait for opportunities.

You’re absolutely right. After all these years, I’ve ended up looking like a "Short Position waiting for the right opportunity." Honestly, doing nothing earns more than making random moves.

You’re absolutely right, frequent trading really does feel like working for the exchange, it’s exhausting and you end up losing money. I have a deep understanding of waiting for opportunities; I hardly made any moves last year, just waiting for those few real get on board points, and I earned way more than my fren who kept making random trades. The key to admitting defeat is crucial; I used to stubbornly hold onto a certain coin just because I didn’t want to admit I was wrong, and ended up getting deeper into trouble. Now I’ve changed, if I’m losing, I cut it immediately, and my mindset is much better. This trap of thinking is actually "relaxing and making money"; it’s counterintuitive but really effective.

It has been ten years and we're still talking about trends and stop loss. Wake up, brother, this is the eternal nonsense of the crypto world. Those who are really making money have long stopped playing this way. Those who are still teaching people to "follow the trend" are either scared of losing or just lack real skills.

It sounds a bit like storytelling, but to be honest, very few can actually do it. Most people still can't change their habit of frequent trading.
