The last 5 million still couldn't be held, feeling light...

After wandering around the market and messing around for so long, I ended up losing everything. To be honest, I still held onto the hope of turning things around, but the more I chased, the deeper I got. Sometimes I think, that's just how this market is — you think you've caught the bottom, but it can still keep falling; you think you've reached the top, but then another wave comes.

But on the other hand, losing money, while painful, actually feels relieving. No need to watch the market every day, no need to be tortured by ups and downs, and no need to worry about whether to add to your position. Just accept it as paying tuition. Some people make wealth in the market, while others, like me, just learn lessons.

This mindset is incredible, really. Much more clear-headed than those who are still stubbornly holding on. --- 5 million, just lost as soon as it’s lost... If you can really let go, then that’s true gain. --- The saying "the more you chase, the deeper you go" hits home. I’ve been through that too, the kind you just can’t stop. --- Not watching the market actually feels better? I need to learn that. Staring at it every day just ruins my mood. --- Let’s leave it at that. It sounds simple, but how many losses does it take to say that?

Lost 5 million but stayed clear-headed, this trade is worth it --- I deeply relate to that part where I kept chasing deeper, the bottom illusion is deadly --- Being relaxed is real, during the days I was watching the market, I was totally numb --- Lessons are costly, a tuition of five million definitely hurts a bit --- To put it simply, I gave up, and my mindset became more peaceful --- Some people make money from coins, others from lessons, we belong to the latter, haha --- Not adding more positions feels like a whole release

Chasing to the end, I became a debt collector—that's my story.

I have to say, this mindset is really incredible. Going from 5 million to clearing out your positions and feeling light? I don't believe it. When it comes to chasing the bottom, I've never seen anyone actually get it right. It's always getting worse the more they chase. Losing money and feeling happy about it—this logic I really can't learn. I've heard too many people say they're paying tuition fees, but what's the key? What have they learned? Not watching the market is probably out of your control, haha. The market, you see, is always smarter than you. It's that simple. Losing 5 million and saying it's easy? You'll know next time you enter the market.

Here are some comments with very different styles: 1. Losing 5 million is just gone, really easy, not joking with you 2. I finally understand this move, the market just loves to go against the trend 3. Losing everything actually makes me clearer, much more comfortable than earning small amounts every day 4. Bought the bottom and ended up at the top, classic script 5. Giving up on the pursuit of a turnaround, and instead living more clearly 6. Just let it be, consider it a lesson learned 7. Losing everything is actually refreshing, no need to worry anymore 8. The most expensive lesson in life has been learned this way 9. The more you chase, the deeper you go, this is a rule, not an exception 10. The cost of being relaxed is indeed a bit heavy

Losing 5 million and still able to smile, I really respect this mindset. The ultimate pursuit is the most intense; the deeper you chase, the more I felt that moment. But to be honest, losing this round actually made me understand what true risk management is. Some lessons can only be learned by paying tuition. The lessons learned from losses are more valuable than earning coins; thinking about it carefully, that's indeed the case.

Honestly, this mindset is really something—losing everything but feeling more comfortable, haha. --- 5 million is gone just like that, brother. Let's try again next time. --- This is what they call "stop-loss equals stop-pain," right? Completely closing out actually brings relief. --- Actually, some people only realize what risk management is after losing everything. --- Losing it all is indeed a kind of liberation, much better than being tormented daily between hope and despair. --- I just want to ask, how long did it take to lose that 5 million? --- Once you see through it, you see through it. Much clearer than those still fooling themselves. --- Feeling light in body, and your wallet feels light too. --- This mindset is good; it's much more rational than those who keep losing more.

5 million just gone like that, I can't tell if it's relief or heartbreak… When chasing the bottom, I really got caught up, buying more as it dropped, and this is the result. Now I've come to understand, playing with spare money is enough, don't risk your life savings.
