#数字资产市场动态 The biggest taboo for making money: self-sabotage, ancient people called it "being low-key."

Last time, hundreds of lighters failed, and this time, it's another smartphone flop. Why? Human nature can't accommodate others' success. Jealousy is like an undercurrent—you can't see it, but it's everywhere. As long as the cost is bearable, many will act out of envy and backstab.

When assets like $BNB surge during a bull market, you'll find the reactions of people around you particularly heartbreaking. It's not congratulations, but sarcasm or outright opposition. That's human nature.

The true big winners understand one principle: before things settle, never celebrate prematurely. Every moment before complete victory is fragile. Being low-key isn't about pretending to be modest; it's about leaving no room for opponents and envious people to strike. Silence is the best defense. The smartest people in the market are often those who make money and don't boast about it.

When you open your mouth, the deal turns sour. I only understand this after experiencing losses. Really, the highest level of operation is to keep quiet after making a profit. Those who shout the loudest around me are the ones who end up losing, none are spared. Talking about being low-key sounds simple, but actually doing it is much harder. People are cheap; the more they hide things, the more they want to talk about them. Silence is truly golden, not just in money matters. Some victories are safer when you swallow them silently. The biggest enemy to making money is your own mouth. I now belong to the type of people who say nothing after earning, because I’ve suffered too much from losses. Jealousy is more terrifying than a decline in value.

Ultimately, it's still about not controlling the lending rate. Once the position is exposed, market sentiment reverses... Looking at BNB's recent surge, how many people were forced to deleverage? As a result, a single reverse fluctuation triggered a chain of liquidations—this is self-destructive.

I'm awake. Keeping a low profile really makes sense; not bragging after making money can indeed avoid a lot of trouble. Alright, human nature is just greed; can't stand seeing others do well. Jealousy is too scary, no wonder the big shots all quietly get rich. That's right, celebrating early is like handing a knife to others; only fools do that. This batch of newbies just can't learn to keep their mouths shut and have to show off their gains. Silence is golden, really. The biggest lesson the market has taught me is this.
