8 years of activity in crypto, there are some lessons I want to share.

First, choosing the right playground is even more important than trying to excel in the wrong market. You will face disadvantages if you keep trading diligently in weak markets or during a downtrend phase. Opportunities there are very limited, and the risks are very high.

Second, market demand is market demand – whether you like it or not. Don't ignore trending topics just because you dislike the narrative behind them. This is a common mistake. The market doesn't care about your personal opinions; it only cares about the flow of money and collective psychology.

This is the reality of the crypto world. Choosing the right track is more important than anything else...

Eight years of hard work and struggle, these two points are truly eye-opening, especially the second one... We are all too self-righteous.

8 years of experience speaks well, especially the second point is really hitting home... How many people are stuck in their own narrative, missing out on one wave after another of gains, which is a form of self-sabotage.

Eight years of experience in the industry, and the first point really hits home... I used to be like that, stubbornly grinding through a bear market. --- That's true, but execution is really difficult. Sometimes you just don't want to follow the trend, but then you see others making money. --- Nailed it, choosing the right track is more valuable than technical skills. Effort in the wrong place is just a waste. --- The second point is the most heartbreaking—how many people cling to their beliefs and miss out on market opportunities. --- So, understanding market psychology is the key, what do you think?

After 8 years in crypto, saying this is a bit late... But indeed, working hard on the wrong track is all for nothing. This is a painful lesson I’ve learned.
