I once thought I was quite Satoshi. Three years ago, I entered the crypto world with the 50,000 I had saved up after hard work, and four months later, seeing only 3,200 in my account, that feeling is still fresh in my memory – staring at the Candlestick Chart all night unable to sleep, thinking every day about how to turn things around.

Later I understood that this market is not about who is smarter, but about who can truly stick to the discipline. The ability to make stable profits now is not due to discovering some secret formula, but rather the hard-earned lessons paid for with real money.

**Market trends are waited for, those who stare at them constantly will lose**

I used to stare at the market for 8 hours every day, fearing that I would miss any sign of movement. The more I focused, the more anxious I became; when someone said "it's going to rise," I would jump in, always hitting the peak perfectly. Later, I found that before a real big market move, there would usually be 1-2 weeks of consolidation. Instead of operating every day, it's better to use that time to thoroughly understand the fundamentals of the projects and wait until it truly breaks through the key resistance level before making a decisive move. This way, the success rate can exceed 60%. There are plenty of spare funds, but truly reliable opportunities don't come often; patience is the strongest filter.

**Don't turn it into a "coin museum"**

I have seen too many newcomers with more than twenty coins in their accounts. When asked for a reason, they say, "Others say it can rise" and "The hype is quite high." If you haven't even understood their technical principles and actual application scenarios, how can you possibly judge how much it's worth?

I am currently focusing on 2 mainstream coins and 1 leading player in a niche market, deeply studying their trend patterns and capital flows. Concentrating on a few targets is much more reliable than randomly casting a wide net.
