To summarize my years of experience on exchanges, the most fitting一句话: Using the system to counteract market emotional fluctuations.
The early days were no different from most people. Watching K-line charts daily, chasing hot trends, following trending coins, my mood was completely driven by market movements. My mind was full of "Who will rise today" or "Is there an airdrop," and my account would profit or lose, with my mentality swinging like a roller coaster.
Then there was a shift, and I gradually understood a principle: the market is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking are those who can survive long-term.
Later, looking at this platform, it became a complete financial experiment field. Spot trading teaches you allocation and patience, while futures let you see risk and human nature collide firsthand. Tools like Launchpad and Earn help you understand what true capital efficiency is. Community discussions are the best window to observe market sentiment, narrative updates, and the flow of consensus.
Over time, you realize that those who truly go far no longer ask "Can it double?" but instead focus on three questions:
Can this strategy survive the bull and bear cycles? Is the risk controllable? Can this decision be repeated?
Looking back now, this experience is actually a form of cultivation: from greed to restraint, from impulsiveness to self-discipline, from betting on directions to building structures. The market is giving answers every second, and the only premise is one — you still have to be alive in the game.

Well said, but bro, I want to ask, can you really avoid watching the market now? I just can't do it anyway.

Really, you're so right. A few years ago, I was also constantly chasing highs and selling lows, and as a result, my account was like a roller coaster. Now I understand that the system is the key.

That's so true, only a systematic approach can ensure longevity. I used to be like that too, chasing gains and selling off every day, and as a result, my account kept taking losses. It wasn't until later that I realized no matter how crazy the market gets, you need to stay calm and establish your own rules; otherwise, you'll eventually learn your lesson the hard way.

That's so true, surviving is much harder than making money.

Hmm... That's true, but most people die on the question of "Can it double?"

That's so true. In the beginning, we were driven by emotions. Only now do I realize that system and discipline are the only ways to survive.

That's so true. In the early years, I also chased gains and sold during dips every day, but I later realized that systems and discipline are the only way to survive.
