Many people start fantasizing that a certain coin will skyrocket just because they are optimistic about it, but the result often hits them with a reality check. Playing with coins is really like this—emotion is the biggest enemy.

If you want to make money, you must first calm down. You can't get restless just because of a recent surge, nor can you be frightened by short-term fluctuations and make frequent trades. True experts understand one principle: all profits are accumulated through calm decision-making, not driven by emotions.

The key is how you treat your balance. View every amount of funds as an asset that needs careful management, not a bet. When making investment decisions, think clearly—act when it's time to act, wait when it's time to wait. Impatience is a taboo—when your mindset is stable, your strategy will be stable, and finally, your account will be stable. This is the secret that people who have been in the crypto circle for a long time all understand.

You're right, but knowing and doing are two different things. --- It's that same "calm decision-making" approach. Why do I always get itchy whenever I see a rise? --- I've heard this a hundred times, but I still get slapped in the face haha. --- The key is these two words—too difficult. --- Assets are not bets. It's easy to say, but once the money is invested, how can you stay calm? --- The real secret to surviving long in the crypto world is to rarely check the market, I believe that. --- Emotional management is the biggest lesson; everything else is superficial. --- Every time I plan to stay steady, a 20% drop breaks my resolve, hahaha.

It sounds good, but I just can't get motivated. The difficulty lies right here.

Sounds good, but I really want to know how those "real experts" are doing now with their accounts haha --- Calm decision-making? Bro, I get nervous when I see a limit-up, it's in my nature I can't change --- Every time I tell myself to stay steady, but as soon as I see the K-line, I forget everything. A bloody lesson --- Calm down? How is that possible, I just love that heartbeat-accelerating feeling --- It's really greed acting up, no matter how much you preach, you can't resist the fear of your account plunging --- You're right but can't do it, that's probably the true portrait of most of us --- Stable mentality, stable strategy? My mentality has never been stable haha --- After being slapped in the face so many times, you gain experience. Experience is the best teacher --- Watching prices rise, I want to throw all my assets in. I'm too real

That's so true, emotions are really the secret weapon. Don't touch coins before adjusting your mindset; nine out of ten people lose money. Wait, why does that sound like you're advising me to give up? I just want to ask, how did those who got rich overnight do it?

That's right, I was called out for this before. Is it easy? When I see a rise, I want to go all in. Mindset is easy to talk about but hard to do. I just want to ask, how can you truly avoid watching the market? I've heard this a hundred times, but execution is the real challenge. Frequent trading really is the root of losing money, I have deep experience with that. In the crypto world, this theory has been around forever, but who has really achieved it? Emotional management is more important than choosing coins, I admit that.
