5 THINGS I LEARNED FROM BINANCE SQUARE – NOT JUST KNOWLEDGE
Hello everyone, it's me again.
Looking back at the journey in Part 1, I realized one very clear thing: everything started to change not because I was luckier, but because I began to change my perspective on the market.
From times of FOMO, emotional decisions, to being caught up in countless pieces of information every day… I gradually learned how to stop, observe, and reflect on my own thinking.
And it was during that period that I started to approach Binance Square in a completely different way.
No longer just a place to view ‘bets’ or update news, but has become a space that helps me change my perspective on the market.
Having a lot of information does not necessarily mean trading better.
But you must know how to filter, understand correctly, and turn that information into your own thinking.
In Part 2, I will share more about:
5 THINGS I LEARNED FROM BINANCE SQUARE – NOT JUST KNOWLEDGE 🚀
Number 1️⃣ News is not as important as how you understand it
In the past, I spent a lot of time reading news, analyzing, and following market opinions from various sources.
But the more I read, the more I realized one thing: news does not always accurately reflect the true value of a coin.
There are projects with very good news, large funding, strong teams... but the price still drops uncontrollably. Conversely, there are times when the market has no special news, but the price rises unexpectedly.
From there, I gradually changed my perspective. I no longer see news as a ‘guiding star’, but just as a reference channel — to gain a better understanding of the context and verify what I am interested in.
Especially on Binance Square, the amount of information about the market and projects is updated very frequently and in quite detail. I often go there to filter information, learn about projects, see assessments of the team, community, and the level of dedication of the devs... before making a long-term decision.
For example, the BNB token — ICO from July 2017 at a price of only about $0.1, initially just a token to reduce transaction fees on the Binance exchange. But after nearly a decade, its value has grown thousands of times. If anyone truly understood its value and held it from the beginning, they could have completely changed their lives.
That’s why I always remind myself: every buying or selling decision must answer the question — why am I buying, and why am I selling?
When you get a clear answer, the probability of making the right decision is much higher.
I no longer read to ‘collect information’ as I used to. I read to understand the logic behind that information. And it was at that moment that knowledge truly had value — no longer in the data, but in how I think.
Number 2️⃣ Reading Trends – Understanding Market Trends
If you asked me before:
“What is the current trend of the market?”
Honestly, at that time I could hardly give a clear answer. Because I didn’t truly understand what ‘trend’ was, nor did I know how to identify it in the market.
For me at that time, everything was very simple: any coin that was rising was ‘hot’, while the others were vague, unclear in reason, unclear in context. But when I started reading more on Binance Square, I gradually realized something very important: trends are not something complex. They are precisely where the money and attention are flowing to. When I understood this, the way I viewed the market began to change completely.
I no longer ask:
“Is this coin going to rise?”
But instead:
“Is this coin currently in the current trend?”
For example, during Altcoin Seasons, the market witnessed very strong rallies, with coins doubling, tripling, or even tenfold in a short time. During those times, the money and attention were almost entirely focused on the altcoin group, creating a very strong growth wave.
Or more recently, in 2025, when Binance launched programs like Alpha, the market became extremely vibrant with a series of new projects, attracting a large number of participants and creating many short-term trading opportunities. If anyone captured the right timing, they surely achieved significant results.
But alongside that is a significant risk: when the trend ends, many coins also drop sharply, even losing a large part of their value and taking a long time to recover.
Through that, I realized: understanding and following trends is not just about knowing, but is a very important part of surviving and optimizing profits in the market.
And the simplest way to track this trend is to observe what is being mentioned a lot, continuously shared on platforms like Binance Square — where information about bets, airdrops, events, and market narratives is updated very quickly and continuously.
Just a small change in market perception can create a very big difference.
The market is always like that. It’s just that... I have started to look at it the right way.
Number 3️⃣ Capital management – A mandatory lesson before entering the market
If we talk about capital management, then this is definitely one of the most important factors — not just in trading, but also in business or any field related to money.
But the quite ‘paradoxical’ thing is: this is something that many people, including myself, once underestimated the most. In the early stages, I thought everything was very simple: just pick the right ‘bet’ and that’s enough. I believed that as long as I predicted the market direction correctly, the profits would come automatically. But in reality, it was the exact opposite. You can be right about the direction... but if you manage your capital incorrectly, you will still lose.
And even, you can lose faster than you think.
There were times I held orders, holding losses to the point of burning my account. I continuously DCA indiscriminately, hoping the market would turn around. But the more I held, the more my account decreased, until there was no longer enough strength to maintain the position — and everything collapsed very quickly, taking down other orders with it.
When I made a profit, I would close very early, in a kind of ‘secure the small gain’ style.
In essence: being good at holding losses but poor at holding gains.😭😂
Later, when I started observing more on Binance Square, I realized something very different from my initial thoughts.
Not only are there analyses of bets or market predictions, but many people also share how they ‘survive’ in the market — and the core is capital management.
They not only talk about what to buy and sell, but also clarify:
How much % to allocate for each order
How to set SL, TP, and entry
When to reduce trading volume
And most importantly: when to stay out of the market
These things may sound dry, but they are what helps them survive long-term.
And from that, I drew a very valuable lesson:
“Keeping money is more important than making money.”
It sounds simple, anyone can understand.
But only after losing money for not knowing how to manage capital...
I really began to feel the full meaning of that statement.
Number 4️⃣ Psychology – The factor that determines whether you win or lose in trading
If I had to choose one important factor just after capital management, I would not choose strategy or tools.
What I chose: Psychology.
In the past, almost every decision of mine was influenced by emotions. I did not realize that I was FOMOing. I also did not realize that I was afraid.
Market down → I panic.
Market up → I get excited.
And in both of those states, I find it very easy to make wrong decisions.
The results... I'm sure you can guess.
But everything started to change when I gradually adhered more to discipline: having a clear plan for entering orders, having specific reasons for each decision, always setting SL and TP before trading.
Especially when I read and learn from the very ‘real’ shares of those who came before on Binance Square, I began to realize something very important:
Everyone has emotions. But the difference lies in how they identify and control it.
Not every time do I perform well.
There are still times when I am swept away by emotions, still making wrong decisions. And I just want to remind you all: always keep yourself truly alert, as well as limit your emotions while trading.
And just that alone... has already made a very big difference in my results.
Number 5️⃣ Discipline – The factor that keeps you alive in the market
Lastly, discipline. This is not something you can understand after just one article, and it’s certainly not something you can apply immediately after reading. Discipline is something that must be absorbed gradually through experience, through mistakes, and through how you observe others operating in the market.
Many people say discipline is very boring — repetitive, unappealing. And that's true.
But that very ‘boring’ aspect is what creates the most sustainable results and the lowest risks.
I once knew people who consistently bought $10 of BNB and $10 of BTC every day for many years. There were no x2, x10 gains every day, no feeling of ‘big bets yield big wins’. Just regular, silent repetition. But that repetition, after many years, created a huge result — enough for them to achieve the financial freedom that many people dream of.
Moreover, I also observed very disciplined people in the market:
There are people who are willing not to enter orders, even though the market looks very good
There are people who patiently stay out, even though opportunities seem to be right in front of them
And there are people who almost never get swept away by short-term volatility
At first, I really did not understand.
Because in my mind at that time, opportunities must be seized — the more, the better.
But the more I observe, the more I realize one important thing:
They do not miss opportunities. They are protecting their own system. And that system can only survive with discipline.
That was also when I started to go back and practice from the beginning: practicing not to enter orders based on emotions, practicing accepting to stay out when things are not clear, practicing adhering to the principles I set for myself. Not every time do I perform well. There are still times I break discipline. But the important thing is: I no longer ‘execute orders unconsciously’ like before.
Just that alone… is already a significant step in my journey.
And those are the 5 things I learned from Binance Square – not just knowledge, but a whole process of changing mindset and how I view the market.
Looking back, I realize that the most important thing is not how much information I know, but that I have started to learn how to think correctly when participating in the market.
