Hello everyone, my name is Uncle An🤝
I have been involved in the crypto world for several years. During this time, I have tried different roles and tracks—early on, I managed DeFi projects. Back then, I was young and ambitious, eager to succeed, which caused me to miss opportunities around me📉; later, I worked on user and growth-related tasks at some top exchanges, often discussing cycle patterns and cognitive boundaries with industry insiders on X Space.
I wouldn’t call myself a big industry expert, but I have experienced several cycles of bull and bear markets and have narrowly missed financial freedom multiple times. These years of ups and downs have made me realize one thing: during a bull market, most people are driven by emotions, but only in a bear market do you have the real opportunity to settle down and prepare for the next cycle.
I came here to find a group of like-minded people, share my views and daily notes, and honestly talk about the pitfalls I’ve encountered and the insights I’ve gained. The crypto industry can be restless, but I firmly believe: in a bear market, keep a calm mindset and stay steady; in a bull market, dare to break through and take action. It’s not just about earning wealth but also about growing mentally.
Here are three principles I adhere to and want to share with everyone:
1️⃣ **Speed is the foundation of slow, slow is the root of speed.** The market ultimately rewards those with patience, and anxiety is the most wasted cost in trading.
2️⃣ **Health first💪.** Without a strong body, long-term wealth and freedom are just castles in the air.
3️⃣ **Lifelong learning and continuous evolution.** The market will never be gentle to those who are complacent, but it always favors those who keep upgrading their cognition.
If you also respect market cycles, believe in long-termism, and recognize the power of cognitive compounding, let’s share knowledge and move forward together.

It’s easy to talk about the accumulation during a bear market, but hard to actually do. I still have to rely on fitness to stay alive.
---
I’ve heard the logic of fast and slow many times, but when it comes to execution... forget it, I won’t say more.
---
What’s it like to have wealth freedom slip by multiple times? I’ve only experienced it once, and it left a deep impression.
---
Cognitive compounding sounds amazing, but the problem is, who really knows if their cognition has truly evolved?
---
Instead of looking for like-minded people, it’s better to first find strategies that can make money.
---
I give full marks to health, but I need to achieve the other two first before I can comment.
---
Most people are emotional during a bull market, I believe that, but if you say you can settle yourself during a bear market... I haven’t seen anyone around me succeed.
---
Lifelong learning is good, but is there a shortcut to get rich quickly?
---
Did you lose money during the DeFi phase? That’s the most worth hearing story.
That's right, but actually executing it is really difficult. How can we avoid being driven by emotions?
Missing out on financial freedom is common; the key is to keep a stable mindset.
The discussion about fast vs. slow is interesting, but I think sometimes the market is punishing those who are too conservative.
Regarding health, really, many people make money but their health suffers, and they can't even smile.
I'm not against lifelong learning; it just feels like more people talk about it than actually do it.
The three principles you mentioned sound good, but the key is to stick to them during real FOMO. Tell me how you managed to do it.
---
I've heard too many arguments combining fast and slow, but the key is to stay true to oneself and not get cut.
---
This point about health hit me hard; watching the market every day indeed wrecks the body.
---
Missing out on financial freedom, I understand that feeling...
---
I agree with lifelong learning, but the market also punishes those who overlearn.
---
Anxiety is indeed the biggest cost; there's no doubt about that.
---
It's hard to find like-minded people; this circle is too complicated.
---
Breaking through and taking action sounds simple, but actual operation is too difficult.
---
Long-termism only shows its value in a bear market.
---
The logic of cognitive compounding can hold, provided your cognition doesn't go off track.
---
Another "experienced" voice, but it does make sense.
---
I agree with health; too many people in the crypto world have wrecked their bodies.
---
The theory of fast and slow sounds easy to implement, but few can truly stick to it.
---
Missing out on financial freedom... that’s a bit painful to say.
---
Lifelong learning is indeed unavoidable; not upgrading your knowledge means being eliminated.
---
These words sound good, but there are really not many who can maintain the right mindset during a bear market.
---
I agree with respecting the cycle, just worried it might be another slogan.
