I might be the dumbest trader on the entire internet.
I entered the crypto market nine years ago.
What others see is my A8 position today.
Only I know how I made it through these nine years.
Countless sleepless nights watching the charts,
countless times getting liquidated, suffering drawdowns, doubting myself,
traveling all over the world just to learn trading—
studying candlesticks, prices, trends, and money management every day…
until 2023, when I finally held 38,000 U and rolled it forward little by little to today.
There was no shortcut on this road.
So many times my account was cut in half,
so many times I gave back profits,
and so many times I sat at the computer in the early morning questioning life.
That’s why whenever I see someone on Twitter saying:
“Turn 500U into A8.”
“1000U for financial freedom in a year.”
“A9 in a month.”
I really can’t believe it.
It’s not that nobody can do it.
It’s just that if it were really that simple, then the whole world would be like Buffett.
After trading for nine years, I’m increasingly convinced of one thing:
Strength accounts for 90%, luck for 10%.
Don’t underestimate that 10%.
Sometimes, it’s exactly that 10% that decides whether you’re on the mountaintop or in the valley.
Do you feel this way?
Sometimes you go into a trade full of confidence,
thinking only about making money.
But the next second,
the market somehow comes first with a needle that sweeps you out.
Same strategy,
same position size,
same entry price.
You make money today,
and lose money tomorrow.
The market sometimes really has a bit of “mysticism.”
So now I’m more and more in awe of the market.
A8 isn’t because I’m that amazing.
It’s just that I outlasted others by nine years.
I endured more pain than others were willing to go through.
And I also had a little more luck.
If I could do it again from scratch…
To be honest,
I don’t even have 100% confidence that I could reach today again.
So,
don’t envy other people getting rich overnight.
The real people who make money all know this:
In the end, the market never rewards the smartest person.
It rewards the one who lasts the longest.
There are no gods in the crypto space.
Only people who grind it out and endure.
