#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 To be honest, it's really hard to make a comeback just by grinding it out.
You have to catch the right wave at the right time. This round of opportunities in digital assets might be one of the rare big chances we'll ever get in our lifetime.
Those few tens of thousands I started with? I saved them bit by bit by delivering food under the blazing sun, running deliveries at 3 or 4 in the morning, and picking up promotional gigs wherever I could. It wasn't until I really got into this field that I realized—hard work alone is useless; if you're headed in the wrong direction, it's all for nothing.
Who wasn't messing around at first? Buying whatever was going up, chasing highs and getting stuck, falling for all kinds of traps, getting beaten black and blue. But after enough falls, you start to figure things out:
This isn't a place for luck—it's a real battlefield.
Think you can survive on luck? Pretty much impossible. The only way forward is to build your own system and stick to your discipline.
I've gotten through these last few years by following a few iron rules, and only then did my account start to improve.
Here are the key points:
**Rule One: Don’t fool yourself**
A loss is a loss—don’t make excuses. Every mistake is tuition; reviewing what went wrong is more important than anything.
**Rule Two: Set your rules in stone**
Don’t chase pumps or dump on drops, don’t go all-in, don’t trade on gut feelings. Cut your losses when you need to, step back when you have to. For retail traders, discipline is all you have.
**Rule Three: Patience is worth more than anything**
If you get jittery during market volatility, you’re just giving money away. You only make money by holding on when the real trend comes. Those who can stay steady are the ones laughing in the end.
**Rule Four: Don’t try to catch the perfect price**
Always trying to buy the absolute bottom and sell the absolute top? Wake up—just catching the main upward wave is already a huge win.
When it comes down to it—
This market isn’t short on smart people. What it lacks is people who can really execute, stay mentally tough, and are willing to learn the hard way.
The sooner you get this, the sooner you can start taking charge.
Want to get a foothold in this market? Take it step by step. Get the rhythm right, get your logic straight—it’s just a matter of time.
Don’t worry about where you start; worry about not moving at all.
Time waits for no one; it only favors those who are ready.

It all sounds right, but how many can truly stick with it? Most people still want to take shortcuts. I’ve seen too many people fail because of their mindset.

What Shushu said is absolutely right, but execution is the real dividing line.
---
That part about chasing highs and getting stuck really hit home—who hasn't been through that?
---
Discipline is easy to talk about, but a nightmare to actually practice. Most people can’t even stick with it for three months.
---
Having a strong mindset is honestly more valuable than any technical analysis. That’s exactly where I failed.
---
"I shouldn’t expect to catch the perfect entry point"—I’m putting that one up on my wall.
---
The key point is still this: it’s not that there’s a lack of smart people, it’s a lack of people who can actually hold on.
---
SOL’s price action in the last couple of days is definitely worth watching. As for the others, better to wait a bit longer.
---
Where you start really doesn’t matter; the real fear is ending up back at square one after all the effort.
---
That part about delivering food to build up initial capital—that’s truly entrepreneurship from a different perspective.

Honestly, the words may be blunt but they're true. The only worry is not being able to follow through.
---
That last sentence really hits hard. "Time waits for no one" is something I've heard the most but acted on the least.
---
Making money through discipline? I just want to know how not to be controlled by my emotions, that's the hardest part.
---
Can $SOL hold steady this time? Feels like it's about to get volatile again.
---
No more nonsense, the key is not to be greedy, but quitting greed is really hard.
---
The main upward wave is indeed like this, but the problem is how to determine when it's really the main upward wave.
---
I can only laugh at the tens of thousands I saved from delivering food—it's the blood and tears story of retail investors.
---
The market really only rewards the patient. I'm the impatient type, already gave up.
---
Setting strict rules is easy to say, but once I lose, I want to go all-in the other way. Who doesn't?

Yeah, that's right, brute force alone really doesn't work—you need a method.
Bro, I totally agree with your theory, especially that part about not lying to yourself. So many people fall into self-deception, making up stories for themselves after losing money. It's hilarious.
But what I agree with the most is the patience part. Seriously, most people just can't sit still. The moment there's some volatility, they can't help themselves, and in the end, the money they make isn't even enough to cover the fees.
