Many people feel like the sky is falling when they hear about losses of 60% or 80%. But those who have truly experienced the crypto world know that it's far from a dead end.
Bull and bear cycles happen more than once, and the market is never short of opportunities. Regardless of whether the market is hot or cold, there are always mainstream cryptocurrencies like ETH moving structurally,
and there are always undervalued assets slowly rising. Money can be lost, and you can wait; but when the rhythm is disrupted, that's when it’s truly over.
I've seen too many people not lose in the first wave of retracement, but in the mindset of 'wanting to make up for losses all at once.'
When the account is in the red, they panic; when they panic, they start to leverage;
positions that could have been slowly repaired,
are directly sent into a deep pit with one step on the gas.
What they say is 'break even',
but what they actually do is——
bet their remaining principal on their lives.
The cruelest part of the crypto world lies here:
It will give you time,
but it won’t provide emotional safety nets.
You can take it slow, you can survive,
you can do nothing at all,
but never, ever 'fight the market' after a loss.
Truly smart people,
when they have lost to a certain extent,
will first hit the brakes. It’s not about giving up, it’s about stopping the bleeding.
