After spending a long time in the crypto market, I gradually realize a truth—market ups and downs are essentially a contest of different levels of understanding.



Many people fall into a few common traps. For example, blindly going all-in based on some rumors, being blinded by stories of short-term quick profits, chasing after rises and selling on dips, ultimately becoming market "chives." These people often lack one thing: an understanding of the underlying logic of projects and a clear grasp of industry trends.

Truly successful investors understand that volatility is normal, and temporary losses are nothing to fear. What’s truly frightening? It’s losing composure during market fluctuations and making wrong decisions driven by emotions.

Learning to manage your position size is like installing a "fault-tolerant" system for yourself. Never put all your funds into a single coin or project; leave room for maneuver. This way, even if a black swan event occurs, you won’t be hurt badly.

Honestly, the crypto world has never been a casino; it’s a competition that requires long-term dedication. Endure the market’s repeated turbulence, withstand those seemingly boring waiting periods, and stick to your investment logic—time will ultimately favor those who do.

Exactly right, but most people can't do it. As soon as there's a limit-down, they start panicking and lose their way...

Sounds about right, but over the past few years, very few people have truly managed to do it... Most are still being pulled by emotions, and I myself have also had my share of setbacks.

That's quite right, but few people actually follow through. I've seen too many people say "long-termism," but when it drops 5%, they cut their losses and run. Where's the supposed fault-tolerance mechanism?

It sounds very reasonable, but I have to say—based on on-chain data, how many of those who "stick to logic" have actually never been exploited? The key is how to identify which projects have underlying logic that is actually a carefully designed "harvesting the leek" process.

That's right, it's just those impatient people who always want to get rich overnight, ending up turning themselves into leeks. I've seen too many people who went all-in and got caught, still confidently claiming they saw the market clearly, only to get liquidated immediately. Position management is indeed important, but how many people can really do it? Most are still controlled by emotions.

That's easy to say, but how many can actually do it? I've seen too many people talk about position management, only to go all-in right afterward.

Well said, that moment when I was emotionally hijacked really hit me.
