Recently, people in the community keep comparing who earned how much USDT today, how many times they multiplied their portfolio this month, or how their annualized returns are off the charts...

To be honest, this mindset is flawed. In a highly volatile battlefield like the crypto space, returns shouldn’t be calculated by the calendar—they should be measured by “catching a few big opportunities”!

The more you focus on rigid targets like “I must make XX today” or “I need to break even by the end of the month,” the easier it is to go all-in and end up losing everything. Especially those who review their daily profits and losses—they’re often the first batch to get liquidated—because the market doesn’t play by your schedule, and forcing yourself to hit time-based goals will only distort your strategy.

People who really know how to play understand: patiently wait for big moves, and make a killing in one swing—that’s a hundred times better than scraping for small gains every day.

So true, people who calculate their accounts every day are all anxiety sufferers, haha. --- Those who went all in are probably left with nothing by now. --- Waiting for a big market move sounds easy but is hard to do, I just can't wait. --- Reviewing every day can definitely lead to trouble, one of my friends got liquidated like that once. --- That's how the crypto world is, once your mindset collapses, your trading goes to waste. --- Instead of focusing on dates, it's better to focus on rhythm, that's the real key. --- Agreed, monthly yield rates are just self-deception. --- The problem is, who the hell knows when the big market will come? --- People who scalp are just paying for their anxiety. --- Those who really make money have already gone flat, they won't shout every day.

So true. The people who stare at the charts every day calculating today's profits are really digging a hole for themselves. Constantly reviewing your trades every day can easily mess up your mindset. Once your mindset blows up, you start going all-in, and then you get liquidated. It's a vicious cycle.

Absolutely right. Out of ten people who check their account every day, nine will get liquidated. I'm serious. --- Anyone who goes all-in for daily returns is just exit liquidity. Nothing more to say. --- Seriously, I've seen too many people addicted to daily chart reviews, and we all know how they end up. --- Wait, isn't this exactly the hard lesson I learned three months ago? Damn. --- Compared to daily settlements, now I just focus on the big cycles. My mindset is so much better. --- I've never seen anyone get rich from daily scalping. It's always those who catch a big move in the market. --- Just listen to that monthly yield talk and don't take it seriously. Those who really believe it are all lying in the hospital. --- Damn, that's why the people in the group who called trades every day all disappeared in the end. --- Patience is truly rare, but most people simply can't wait. --- Anyone who goes all-in on monthly targets, I bet they'll go bankrupt within two months.

That's right, people who show off their profits every day have a retail investor mentality—a major bull run comes and they just take off. Those insisting on doubling their money this month usually end up the worst off. I've seen it happen too many times. Chasing quick gains just makes you easy prey; patience is the real key. Constantly reviewing your daily P&L really does make it easier to get liquidated—the market won't follow your timetable. If you play the crypto game with an all-in mentality, you won't survive till next quarter. Catching one good wave and cashing in is way better than trading every day, but no one believes it. Setting yourself monthly targets is just putting shackles on yourself—no wonder so many people go broke.

Well said. Those people who are always calculating really need to reflect on themselves. I’ve seen too many like that—they stare at the charts every day like they're on dopamine, but what happens after a month? They lose everything. Just wait for the big moves, don’t mess around needlessly. This is the real truth, but unfortunately, most people won’t listen.

That's right, those people who stare at the charts every day watching their profits really do deserve to get rekt. Waiting for opportunities is much more rational than chasing time points. I've seen too many people rushing for quick gains and ending up liquidated. Seriously, catching a big move and making enough is way better than trading every day. That's my current strategy.

That's absolutely right. The ones who stare at the charts and do daily reviews are indeed the most likely to go bankrupt. Those who calculate daily returns have already let their minds be hijacked by time. Waiting for a big opportunity to make a killing in one go—that's the real way to survive. Those who chase daily profits will end up losing sooner or later. I'm just here to watch the show. The ones who go all-in are just paying an "intelligence tax" to the market. When the bull market comes, everyone makes money. The real question is whether you can survive until that day.
