There is a particularly interesting phenomenon in the crypto world: most people are busy analyzing various complex indicators, searching for some "secret tactics," their eyes glued to the candlestick charts until they turn red, but in the end, they still end up being swept out. Actually, those who truly last long in the crypto space are not the flashy traders, but the "fools" who stick to the rules. They are not greedy, they don't chase the trend, they follow discipline—when it's time to cut losses, they cut losses. It is precisely this "clumsiness" that prevents the big players from taking advantage. So don't always think about outsmarting everyone; sometimes, the simplest approach is the strongest armor.

Exactly right, I am that "fool" who only realized after being swept over countless times.

Exactly right. The buddies around me who study MACD and moving averages every day all got liquidated in the end, while that stubborn old guy ended up making steady profits.

Technical analysis players who talk about tactics on paper should wake up; those who are truly still around are just some "mindless" holdouts.

Haha, this is the true secret to quietly making a fortune. The key to surviving after freeloading on so many projects.

nah fr tho, the whole "discipline = boring" cope is just regression analysis proving what we already knew... boring wins statistically

You're right. Those around me who watch five-minute charts every day to predict the market end up getting chopped up for the vegetables. Simplicity and straightforwardness are the way to go. Stop-loss has really saved me several times. This batch of retail investors is just too greedy. The moment they become greedy, they've already lost. I've long understood that following the rules is the right way. Don't think about overtaking on curves. Really, those who study mysterious indicators are ultimately just contributing to the big players. Discipline is above all, there's nothing more to say. I'm just worried about not being able to execute; knowing is easy, doing is hard. People who set their stop-losses properly are the smart ones, but most people can't do it. Living a long life still depends on that bit of "foolishness," and there's nothing wrong with that. This is the gap. Some people have realized it, while others are still messing around.
