Whenever the market heats up, the square begins to see 'experts' emerge. Each screenshot is more impressive than the last, contracts doubling, earning tens of thousands daily, as if missing this wave would mean missing out on life.
But as soon as the bear market arrives, you will discover a harsh reality — these voices disappear faster than the market.
I have seen too many people like this: contracts multiplying several times in a month during a bull market, walking with confidence, constantly mentioning 'logic' and 'strategies';
But as soon as the market turns, a single pullback wipes everything out, and they don’t even dare to log into their accounts.
The crypto world has never been about who makes money the fastest, but rather about who can take the money home.
Eventually, I slowly understood a rule: being less greedy in a bull market and accumulating during a bear market is the real skill.
The most common mistake in a bull market is not missing out on profits,
but wanting even more after making some.
The positions get larger and larger, and the stop-losses get set further and further,
until a single pullback erases all previous efforts.
And what about the bear market? Quite the opposite.
No excitement, no emotions, no applause,
yet it tests patience the most. True veteran players,
are the ones who gradually build their positions in a bear market,
using time to exchange for chips, waiting for the next cycle to pay off.
Many newcomers want to jump into real trading right away,
fearing that one step slower will mean missing out on 'financial freedom.'
But the reality is, if you haven’t even grasped your own emotions, feel, and discipline,
jumping straight into real money is basically equivalent to paying tuition.
