Why are retail investors losing more and more money in crypto trading? Ultimately, it's because of an unstable mindset. Losing once or twice leads to self-doubt, then becoming more aggressive, and the more you do that, the deeper you fall.



I started with 10,000 yuan and now have assets exceeding 10 million. Honestly, there’s no secret. I don’t rely on insider information or have any special talent. The core is to simplify complex matters, repeat simple tasks, and master them to perfection.

My profit trajectory looks like this: in the first 2.5 years, I grew from 10,000 to 1.2 million mainly through swing trading in certain small coins; then, over the next year, I seized another opportunity to grow from 1.2 million to 7 million; finally, in the last 3 months, I jumped from 7 million to 10 million. It seems faster and faster, but the logic is very clear.

After spending a long time in the crypto market, you’ll notice a pattern — the more trades you make, the slower your profit growth becomes. This may sound counterintuitive, but it’s true. Frequent buying and selling eat into profits through transaction fees, and your mindset can easily be influenced by market fluctuations. The real profit logic is to do subtraction, not addition.

Those who watch the market every day and trade frequently generally don’t get good results. This path is a dead end.

You're bragging again, from 10,000 to millions, why not just say it's luck?

I'm trembling while watching the market every day... But on the other hand, going from 7 million to 10 million in the last three months, how much luck does that take?

I agree with the idea of doing less, but it's easy to say... The real challenge is having free time—try it yourself?

It sounds like just making up stories, from 10,000 to millions, how many times the return is that, who would believe it?

Subtraction is the true way; I realized it long ago, I just can't control my hands.

It sounds like another survivor bias story, but the point about reducing trades really hits home.
