What are the two most dangerous mindsets in Crypto?
1. “It’s not a loss unless I sell.” Brother, I bought the coin for $1 and now it’s $0.15… but I’m still calm. Because the coin is still in the wallet. Reality is — the market doesn’t see your entry price. Calling 85% drawdown “long-term investing” is not conviction, it’s denial.
2. Perps trade without stop loss. Many traders don’t have a stop loss… their stop loss = liquidation price. “I’ll actually close at breakeven” The market usually doesn’t give that opportunity.
Trading without stop loss doesn’t mean strategy, it’s pure hope and gambling.
What actually works: • Define risk before taking a trade • Set an exit plan in advance • Be it Spot or Perps — stop loss mandatory • Learn to accept small losses
Because traders survive by not giving a perfect win rate, but by protecting capital.
If you trade with hope, your account will be zero one day. If you trade with discipline, you will survive in the market.
