Many people enter the crypto world with too much confidence, looking at a few candlestick charts and thinking they are experts. As a market downturn hits, their accounts shrink, and their emotions start to collapse. In fact, the biggest test in the crypto space is psychological resilience.



I've come across an interesting saying: Take 10,000 yuan, and every day throw 1,000 into the river. When you're done, if you feel completely calm, it means your risk tolerance has reached the standard, and then you can consider entering the market. Similarly, if you have 100,000 yuan and put it in the trash can in your neighborhood, and you can still sleep soundly at night, and when you look for it the next day you're not anxious, then you truly understand what "tolerable loss" means.

The volatility in the crypto market is indeed more intense than in the stock market. Sharp rises and falls are almost daily, and situations where the principal is wiped out are not uncommon. Looking at coins like DASH, the price fluctuations can tell the story—doubling within a month is not surprising, and halving can happen in minutes. The problem is, many people haven't even considered whether they can withstand such volatility.

The most feared thing is following the herd. If someone else's project has increased tenfold, you rush in immediately and end up holding the bag. Stories like this happen every day in the crypto world. Actually, you should first ask yourself: If I lose all the money I invested, can I accept it? Can I calmly wait for a rebound? Or will I get anxious and lose sleep, leading to wrong decisions?

Surviving is the top priority. Maintaining a stable mindset and controlling your position size are the foundation of survival in the crypto space. When the market drops, don't panic; when it rises, don't be greedy. These are the things that long-term profit-makers always do.

Really, just looking at the candlestick chart makes me feel like I’m Buffett reincarnated, but my account was wiped out in two months. LOL

lmao the "throw money in the river" test is empirically speaking just natural selection with extra steps. most people who think they'd pass it are already lying to themselves before day one actually hits.

That's so true. Once your mindset collapses, everything is over. A few of the early guys I know who entered the scene early are still around because of their strong mental resilience.

That's so true. I used to be the kind of person who looked at two charts and thought I was capable, but I got a harsh lesson from a liquidation. Now, just hearing the word "doubling" gives me PTSD. The analogy of throwing money into the river is perfect. I can now calmly watch my account drop 30% and still sleep well, which is worth more than anything. FOMO is truly an unbeatable killer. I've seen too many people rush in out of FOMO and end up as bagholders. My current rule is that the crazier others get, the calmer I stay. The phrase "survive" really is the core of living in the crypto world. No matter how bullish the market is, it can't withstand a zeroing out. Sometimes, doing nothing is the best decision.

To be honest, I'm the kind of fool who jumps in after watching a few videos, and I've been stuck ever since, still haven't gotten out haha I'm not joking, mindset is truly the biggest test, more effective than any technical analysis
