Trading high-volatility coins like $1000PEPE, the biggest enemy is actually your own emotions.

The market will never be gentle just because you're afraid, nor will it stop falling because you're worried. To enjoy those high returns, you must be prepared to face retracements or even liquidation at any time. This is not a motivational speech, but the essence of trading.

Fear, worry, regret—can these things solve problems? No, they can't. So why are there still so many people gambling in the crypto world? Because most haven't figured out what they really want.

People who truly make money are often not smarter, but more ruthless—ruthless enough to accept failure, ruthless enough not to be driven by emotions. As long as the heart is still there, the dream remains. At worst, start over. That’s the right attitude.

Bro, your words are harsh, but most people just can't be that ruthless. They start cutting their positions at a 50% drop.

Well said. Emotions are indeed the poison of trading. But to be honest, I've seen too many people say they accept failure, only to have their mindset collapse immediately after a margin call. I understand the logic of making money, but executing it really gets stuck.

Basically, it's gambler psychology. I've seen too many people shouting "I can control my emotions" only to get trapped and lose everything. No matter how big the dream, you have to stay alive. There's nothing wrong with that. Losing money is not the worst; it's the feeling of regret. Making money with a good mindset? First, control your greed. Really tough people have already gone all-in and disappeared from the crypto circle.

You're right, but the real difficulty isn't understanding this principle, it's execution. I've seen too many people shouting about "accepting failure," only to blow up once and never come back online. --- Emotions... to put it simply, it's greed versus fear, and the one who wins is always the greedier. --- Only when Bitcoin drops do you realize what "acceptance" really means, and the difficulty skyrockets. --- Being ruthless can indeed make money, but more often, being ruthless leads to heavy losses. How do you distinguish between the two? --- Those who haven't blown up have no right to say these words. --- Starting over... just listen, because if you really start over, all your capital is gone. --- It's this "ruthless" attitude that has sent many people to the ICU. --- Words like "still dreaming" or "still hopeful" are most convincing when talking to an empty wallet.

Nice words, but I've seen too many "tough guys" get wiped out overnight, and still talk to me about mindset. When the dream is gone, the money is gone too. Stop pretending. Emotional control? Who can truly control it when doing PEPE? It's all just talk. Reading articles like this a hundred times won't save a losing account, haha. Having only determination without risk control will still get harvested, no problem.

That's right, but I found a problem. The people who can truly avoid being emotionally hijacked, you can count them on one hand. --- I just want to ask, those "more ruthless" people, have they ever been forced to liquidate? Or is their initial all-in mentality just different? --- The most heartbreaking thing is that they didn't think clearly about what they wanted. In fact, most people just want to make quick money, nothing else. --- If your heart is still in the dream, are you still in it? When borrowing money to liquidate, your heart also turns cold, and the dream is gone, brother. --- The reality is, those who truly make money are often those who don't care about wins or losses at all. Instead, those who are "ruthless" often get killed by their own ruthlessness.
