shared a straightforward yet powerful observation about trader psychology that resonates across bull, bear, and sideways markets alike.He put it bluntly:
"The difference between ogs and newbies is that:
ogs can sit through boring times with a lot of liquidity waiting for good market conditions to levelnewbies always rush to trade, lose it all and Call it a scam. Just to find out the markets pumping 5 months later
Don’t be a newbie"
This captures one of the hardest truths in trading: patience isn't passive—it's active discipline.Why Experienced Traders ("OGs") Win the Waiting Game
They preserve capital during low-volatility or "boring" periods, often holding significant liquidity (cash or stable positions) instead of forcing entries.They recognize that markets cycle—stagnation frequently precedes explosive moves. Sitting tight allows them to enter high-conviction setups with proper risk management when conditions align.Boredom is treated as part of the process, not a signal to act. Many OGs view extended flat/choppy phases as accumulation or preparation time for smart money.
The Newcomer Trap: Impatience and Emotional Overtrading
New traders often feel pressure to "do something" during slow markets, leading to overtrading, chasing weak signals, or FOMO entries.Losses pile up quickly → frustration → accusations of "scams" or rigged markets.Ironically, those same markets can deliver massive gains months later—once the impatient have already exited or blown up.
CyrilXBT's message is clear: Rushing to trade in unfavorable conditions is one of the fastest ways to turn a promising account into dust. True edge comes not just from analysis, but from the ability to do nothing until the probability stack is heavily in your favor.This mindset separates survivors from casualties, especially in crypto where hype cycles, volatility spikes, and long consolidations are the norm.Bottom line for 2026 traders:
Master waiting. Protect capital. Stay liquid. The market will eventually reward the patient—often when least expected.$BTC $ETH #BTC #crypto #trader

Humans almost always move from two main sources:
love and fear.
All major decisions—in relationships, careers, faith, to trading—are rooted in these two energies.
1. When Life is Driven by Fear
Fear originates from:
- fear of poverty
- fear of being left behind
- fear of failure
- fear of being alone
- fear of “I’m not enough”
In the context of crypto:
People enter the market not because they understand,
but because of the fear of missing out.
FOMO.
Fear disguises itself as “opportunity.”
As a result:
- entering without a plan,
- greedy when rising,

There are penguins that leave their colony.
Not because they are brave.
But because we don’t understand the direction.
In crypto…
many humans are like that.
Entering the market without a map.
Without knowledge.
Without discipline.
What is seen is only:
📈 “Get rich quick.”
🔥 “Big profit.”
💎 “To the moon.”
They don’t see:
⚠️ Risk
⚠️ Liquidity
⚠️ Manipulation
⚠️ Market psychology
In the end…
Enter → Gambling
Profit → Greed
Loss → Emotion
MC → Lost
Then say:
“The market is evil.”
In fact…
What’s lacking: awareness.


We come not as saviors.
