Have you ever seen this situation—someone chasing gains and selling at a loss, heavily holding altcoins, making a fortune in the short term, and bragging about it in the investment group? But then, in a single correction, they double their profits and lose everything, even their principal.
The market actually rewards wrong behaviors. It uses short-term positive feedback to lure you in, gradually cultivating bad habits. Greed for quick gains, greed for more, greed for huge profits—these human weaknesses are well understood by the market. When you become completely addicted and bet everything, the time to tighten the net has arrived.
The money earned from chasing gains and selling at a loss? In a larger market correction, it will be doubled back to the market. The small dividends from heavily holding trash coins? A black swan event, and with one thunderclap, you’ll lose even your principal. From being confident and energetic early on to feeling dejected later, this is the market’s final punishment for those wrong operations.
Want to survive a little longer here? Don’t be blinded by short-term gains. First, understand what luck is and what true skill is. Treat the small sweet spots of the market as reminders, not as your abilities. Consistently follow your trading plan, respect market laws, and maintain reverence for risk—that’s the only way to survive long-term.
The market occasionally goes crazy, but it can’t stay crazy forever. Those wrong operations rewarded in the short term will eventually become a death knell.

That hits too close to home. I have a buddy like that. He made around 300,000 to 500,000 last year, but now he still owes me money.

I've heard too much, and those kinds of people around me have now disappeared, panic-stricken.

That's right, risk management is a prerequisite for system stability, and 90% of retail investors get wiped out here.

That's just too perfect. Those people are just the market's leek reserve team, they'll be harvested sooner or later.

That’s a harsh way to put it, but it’s really how it is. I’ve seen too many people go all-in on altcoins and make a huge profit, only to lose it all back later, even ending up in the red. The market is just like that—it plays with people.
