Damn, here we go again—you've probably experienced this magical moment too: BTC swings within a range, you short it and it gently pulls back, blowing up your position; you go long and suddenly it spikes to hit your stop-loss. The one-hour chart looks promising, but the four-hour chart is full of traps, and the daily support levels are completely unreliable. This isn't a market; it's a meticulously crafted "retail patience shredder." It neither rises nor falls, only small fluctuations and long waits, slicing away your positions and your patience one by one, until finally, you lose even your principal.
Experienced traders have long seen through this: in such torturous markets, the biggest risk isn't really about judging the direction, but about you being worn out by repeated friction until you can't hold on anymore, and before the big trend even starts, you die in the darkest illusions before dawn.
When you suddenly realize that all your chart analysis, candlestick studies, and constant monitoring are worthless in the face of this "chaotic meat grinder" market, you have to face a harsh truth: the vast majority of wealth in this market isn't made by "predicting correctly" or "trading for profit," but by "proper allocation" and "holding steady."
Instead of pouring all your chips and energy into a brutal BTC fight, it's better to replan your asset strategy: allocate some funds to chase high-risk, high-volatility opportunities, while keeping another portion in a stable growth system to earn steadily. Break out of the zero-sum game of longs and shorts, replace prediction with allocation thinking—this is the real way to survive the cyclical oscillations.

Really, only after being slapped in the face repeatedly do I realize that watching the market is not as good as holding coins.

Oh no... I got stabbed again, damn it's so annoying
---
Config thinking is correct, but I still can't change my habit of frequent trading
---
Lying flat and holding is the way to go, why can't I understand this
---
This wave of market行情搞得心态爆炸,根本看不清方向
---
Instead of watching the market every day, it's really reasonable to set up a stable appreciation system
---
The term "Chaotic Meat Grinder" is so damn vivid, it describes me perfectly
---
I've heard of this theory a long time ago, but I still tremble...
---
The problem is I've almost lost all my principal, what can I use to allocate?
---
Prediction vs. allocation, easy to understand but hard to implement, brother
---
Why do I always run away when I should坚持呢
