When you're trading or investing in crypto assets, feeling overly pumped up or riding high on adrenaline? That's a red flag—you're likely gambling instead of actually investing.
Real trading is supposed to be dull. Boring, even. No emotional rollercoaster. No dopamine rushes. If you're getting that rush, you've already strayed from solid strategy.
The best traders treat the market like clockwork: execute plans methodically, manage risk systematically, and stay detached from outcomes. Excitement clouds judgment. It clouds entry and exit decisions. It turns calculated moves into impulsive bets.
Keep it mechanical. Keep it steady. That's how you survive the crypto cycles.

ngl That's so true. I've seen too many new investors get excited just by seeing the candlestick charts go up, only to crash completely after a sudden plunge. 🤷 Really, what happened to those who bought blindly during the dip?

ngl This is why most people lose money and think they're investing... but in reality, they've been gambling all along.

That's right, a bunch of my friends were washed out like that. They got too excited too early.

This article is right, but to be honest, most people just can't resist that thrill... I am one of them.

That's right, I only lost so much because I was too excited... Now that I'm making money, I don't feel anything anymore.

That's so true. Many people get addicted to this kind of thrill, and it's not really trading—it's gambling. I've seen too many people rush to high positions just because of that excitement... and in the end, they all get cut. Mechanical execution strategies are truly the only way to survive.

That's right, every time I lose money it's because I can't resist pressing the wrong buttons.

To be honest, I was already tricked by my own excitement... Now it's definitely more boring, but the account has also lasted longer.
