Don't remind me again today

Do you remember that line from "The Way of Heaven" by Ding Yuanying? "You don't know you, so you are you; once you know you, you are no longer you." At first glance, it sounds mysterious, but upon closer inspection, you understand—cattle and horses are willing to be cattle and horses precisely because they do not understand their situation. Once they awaken? They would have long since kicked their hooves and refused to comply.



This logic also holds true in the cryptocurrency space. You are unaware of how deeply you are caught up in market sentiment, and thus you are led by the nose by the ups and downs; when you truly step back and take a bird's-eye view, you can see the essence of the trend clearly.

What is the most feared thing after opening a position? Being bound by the profit and loss numbers. Greedily adding positions when the price rises, stubbornly holding on when it falls—this is all a manifestation of being trapped "in the market." True experts switch perspectives: not getting entangled when the market slaps them in the face, decisively cutting losses when breaking levels; even when going in the right direction, don’t get complacent, always keep an eye on reversal signals, and leave when it’s time.

In simple terms, the essence of trading is not about predicting ups and downs, but about managing emotions. Only by viewing the market from a higher dimension can you calmly execute your plan and maneuver freely.

Brothers, let's encourage each other!

This sounds nice, but how many can actually do it? Most people only understand after losing to the point of doubting life.

You're right, that's how it is. Once you're awake, you can't go back. --- This theory sounds advanced, but it's really hard in practice. Most people can't really play people for suckers. --- The fatal flaw in the crypto world is greed, nothing else. --- The difference between experts and suckers is not in prediction, but in mindset. That's hard to take. --- Those who understand this have long achieved financial freedom, yet are still discussing it here. --- Being able to understand doesn't mean you can do it, that's the problem. --- Managing emotions is worth more than any technical analysis, really. --- Another seemingly profound principle that no one can actually achieve. --- When it breaks down, play people for suckers, how many people have said that? But who actually executes it? --- What it really means is don’t follow the crowd, you need to think independently. It’s not that complicated. --- When the market rises, everyone is an expert, but when it falls, you can see who is swimming naked.

You're right, managing emotions is the hardest part. I'm still learning.

You’re not wrong, it’s just that knowing is easy, but doing is hard. I have to admit that I’m the kind of player who is completely held hostage by the numbers of gains and losses; I want to go all in when it rises by three points, and I start questioning my life when it falls by one point.

You’re absolutely right, but most people simply can’t do it. My account name is dedicated to this work; I look at on-chain data every day, but it’s easy to get drowned out by the noise.
