The stories in the crypto world are always polarized—some people's wealth soars, while others lose everything overnight. The difference in luck actually hides in the details.
A seasoned trader who started from scratch in Beijing once summarized: "The crypto circle is full of rabble, but those who can control their emotions turn the market into an ATM." This may sound harsh, but it's the truth.
Carefully examining those successful doubling stories, almost all of them follow the same logic—don't blindly chase the pump during mania, and don't panic sell during fear. The most common death trap for retail investors is being hijacked by emotions. FOMO during rises, surrender during falls. The result? Buying high, selling low, repeatedly getting harvested.
Mainstream coins like BTC and ETH are naturally volatile, but your mindset doesn't have to fluctuate with them. Those who have turned ten thousand into fifty million have never succeeded by guessing the next move correctly, but by sticking to the rules—stop-loss, take-profit, dollar-cost averaging—keeping greed and fear outside the door.
The crypto world is never short of opportunities; what’s missing are those who are neither blindly optimistic nor overly pessimistic. Cultivating the right mindset is actually a process of cultivating wealth.

Basically, it's a mindset game. I've seen too many people FOMO in and then cry as they cut their losses.

That's true, but how many people can actually do it? I've seen too many people read this kind of article and think they've understood, only to panic and cut their losses when they fall.

Basically, it's about mindset, but how many can truly achieve it? I've seen too many people talk about discipline, yet their fingers are already selling coins.
