In 2025, I experienced both ups and downs in the crypto world. My account balance fluctuated wildly, but the biggest gain wasn't in profits—it was in my mindset.

I still remember when I first entered the market, a surge in BTC would keep me awake with excitement, and a correction would make me question everything. Now it's different. Watching the candlestick charts fluctuate, I can calmly think about the next move. Sometimes missing out on major opportunities feels a bit regretful, but I know in my heart: black swans will always come, but only those with a steady mindset can truly buy the bottom.

This year also taught me what "staying away from emotional trading" really means. Less impulsive FOMO, more respect for the market. Seeing many newcomers sell in panic during sharp declines, I started to consider where the opportunities might be.

A new year has arrived. I hope that in 2025, everyone in the crypto space can maintain this calm. Black swans are inevitable, but major market moves can't be avoided—what matters is having the right mindset so your account can keep up. When that day truly comes, and the numbers start to rise rapidly, getting rich won't just be a dream.

Let's go, everyone. See you in the new year.

Well said, mindset is indeed the core of trading cryptocurrencies. Two years ago, I was completely overwhelmed by FOMO, but now I am gradually learning. Waiting for the black swan to strike before ambushing—that's the right way.

Honestly, mindset is really more difficult to cultivate than making money. I only realized this after being hammered by a crash several times. Wait, are you saying that missing out on a big market move can actually allow you to buy at the bottom? That logic is a bit confusing. I've seen too many beginners cut their losses and leave the market, and I always feel it's a pity. They just lack a bit of patience. A stable mindset is a prerequisite, but the key is that a big market move may not necessarily come. I can't guarantee that. You're right, black swan events can't be avoided, but those who make money do have a certain level of resilience.

That's right, mindset is really the biggest gain. I used to go crazy adding positions when I was bullish, and want to cut losses when it dropped. Now I've learned to wait.

Well said, mindset is indeed the greatest wealth. I used to be one of those brothers who chased gains and sold losses, but now I think that only when it drops does it present a real opportunity.

Well said, mindset is truly the biggest gain. I used to panic whenever the market dipped, but now I can watch the show calmly. However, to be honest, not many people can maintain their composure; most will still get cut. Mindset is valuable, but even more valuable is the courage to buy at the bottom. What I’m saying is the truth, but I’m afraid knowing the principles and actually being able to do them are two different things. I agree with this idea; those who wait for the wind often earn better than those who chase the wind. In simple terms, living long enough is winning, and those with a good mindset can naturally wait for the next cycle. This idea is very clear-headed, but frankly, only a few can truly achieve it.
