Recently, I was asked a common question in the market: Why not open a short position? To be honest, the 12600 level does look tempting, but my personality determines my choice. Once I identify a direction, I stick to it unwaveringly.

The crypto path has changed my life trajectory, so bullish thinking is deeply ingrained in my bones. I might try shorting in the next cycle, but for now, I adhere to a principle: only make money within my own understanding; I never jump recklessly into unfamiliar fields. This is not stubbornness, but respect for risk.

To be honest, my recent decision to increase positions also has logic behind it. The actions of major institutions like Grayscale and BlackRock are very clear, and the policy level has also sent out many positive signals. Only when both conditions are met do I decide to continue my layout.

My advice to everyone is: don’t let noise affect your rhythm, focus on honing your trading style. Market opportunities are cyclical; missing one moment is okay. Instead of being forced to prove something, it’s better to wait quietly for that market window that belongs to you. $BTC $ETH $BNB

This guy is right, I do the same thing. Personality determines fate. Once you set a long position, don't mess around. GrayScale and BlackRock are both increasing their positions. Isn't this signal obvious enough? Some people just love to prove themselves, but end up getting their faces slapped. It's better to be steady and go long like me. Wait, is 12600 really a good level for short positions... Anyway, I won't try it.

This wave definitely has some substance. Both Grayscale and BlackRock are taking action, and I don't dare to follow the trend and short, afraid of a reversal. --- That's right, stick to the right direction and stay persistent. Reckless tinkering is more likely to get cut. --- Longs are deeply ingrained in their minds haha. Changing the approach often causes problems. Let's wait for the next cycle. --- There are too many distractions. Still, you have to trust your trading system and not follow the wind blindly. --- BlackRock is accumulating shares, and as retail investors, it's good enough for us to just eat some soup. --- The phrase "making money within your cognitive range" is spot on. How many opportunities to be cut have been missed because of that? --- Quietly wait for your own market window. This sounds comfortable. Now is a good time for trial and error.

Personality is destiny. Those who are stubborn tend to live the most grounded lives. I also see this wave of big institutions bottom-fishing; following along won't hurt.

This mindset is good, not blindly chasing the wind is half the victory --- When Grayscale and BlackRock move, they do have some confidence, but it still depends on how much you can handle --- The truth is simple, recognizing your own ability circle really helps you live longer --- 12600 really hits the heart, but once it breaks, everything is lost. Disciplined people often end up laughing the loudest --- I'm convinced by the saying that "bullishness is ingrained in the bones," faith really determines everything --- Don't let noise affect you. This phrase should be heard every cycle, but someone always falls into the trap each time --- The logic of adding positions is clear: it's either all-in or courting death --- Honestly, I have this personality too. If I can't change it, I might as well accept it
