In the cryptocurrency world for a year, I will no longer teach trading.

Starting out in the cryptocurrency space with short-term strategies, I later shifted to long-term spot and futures trading, achieving a stable annual profit of around 80%.

Some people say my "trading ability is a gift, and cannot be replicated." I disagree, stating that my trading logic is based on actionable methods, not innate talent.

To prove this point, I made a bet with a friend:

In one year, I would teach 30 unprofitable traders to become competent traders. Most of them were platform fans, many of whom had been struggling in the market for years and yearned to succeed. After watching my live trading demonstrations, they all felt confident.

In the following year, I revealed my market perspective, trading logic, and practical methods, and continuously provided live practice sessions after class, just to prove that "trading can be replicated."

But when the year was up, the results left me with mixed feelings:

15 people quit halfway to seek other "teachers" on a certain platform, thinking that learning from multiple sources would lead to faster progress, but their thinking became a muddled mess, and the more they learned, the more confused they became;

7 people always felt I was hiding a secret — "If there’s no tuition fee, how could I teach real skills?" They focused solely on probing for so-called "valuable content," neglecting the core of the course, ultimately gaining nothing;

5 people recognized my methods but couldn’t pass the execution challenge:

They couldn’t wait patiently for opportunities, were unwilling to cut losses when wrong, and were eager to take profits when right, always wanting to make a little money daily like clocking in for a job, in the end knowing but not acting, learning only half the knowledge;

Only 3 people, with focused minds, followed the course and practiced in real time, continuously summarizing and reflecting, eventually qualifying as competent.

Later, upon reviewing, I understood that these 30 people had four types of issues:

Those eager for quick success mistook clever tricks for shortcuts; those seeking to take advantage were lazy in deepening their skills and wanted to take a shortcut; those with insufficient understanding were obsessed with "must earn" but could not accept losses and waiting; only those who remained focused and grounded found the path to trading.

I did not lose that bet, but I completely gave up on guiding others in trading — the essence of trading is not about how clever the methods are, but whether one can maintain their original intention and achieve unity of knowledge and action.

No matter how good the system, if you don’t encounter like-minded and determined individuals, it’s just empty talk. @juice13
