There are always two types of people in the crypto market. One achieves explosive growth in funds in a short period, with accounts jumping from tens of thousands to millions; the other watches their holdings shrink day after day amid fluctuations. Given the same market environment, why is there such a big difference?

In fact, the key is not luck, but understanding of risk, emotional control, and the ability to judge information. Some can find opportunities in market hotspots, while others are always a step behind. Some know how to cut losses in time, while others hold on stubbornly.

This is the cruel reality of the crypto market — it amplifies your strengths and ruthlessly exposes your weaknesses. There are no absolute experts, only investors who keep learning and adjusting.

It sounds good, but the key is still poor execution ability. That group of people who hold on stubbornly... I was like that before, and I lost everything. I'm always the one who realizes too late, no doubt. Mindset is indeed the biggest factor, but who can really do it? Why can't I just learn to cut losses in time?

Basically, most people are the type who hold on stubbornly and never let go. One point of poor mentality can mean a hundred thousand difference in your account. It's really unacceptable to realize things only after the fact, my friend. Luck? It doesn't exist; it's all about information gaps. Setting stop-losses sounds easy to talk about, but in practice, it really peels your skin. The crypto market is like a mirror, reflecting all the flaws. People who learn and adapt survive; those who stubbornly fight to the end go bankrupt. It's really that simple; it depends on how you choose.

Oh no, here comes this set of talking points again... It's true, but after all these years, I'm still losing money. Losing accounts say that learning to adjust is really difficult. Even with proper risk understanding, the mentality still collapses—that's just me. Being a late bloomer, there's really nothing I can do; bad news really is the worst. Understanding stop-loss and actually being able to implement it are two different things; I've advised myself many times. It's just like this—those who lose money are always reflecting, while those who make money quietly get rich. Oh my, why am I still doing this? I promised to cut losses in time.

That's true, but I think luck also plays a part, gotta admit. The group of people with millions definitely have some skills, but you also need to catch the right trend. Stop-loss is easy to talk about but really hard to do; I'm that stubborn guy who just won't let go. The key is attitude, otherwise even if you're smart, it's useless. I'm still learning, take it slow with this thing.

Honestly, I am that person who just can't let go... --- Managing mindset is easier said than done, really. --- Why do I feel like I am doing charity for the market? --- Latecomer reporting in, always the last one to take over as the bag holder. --- That's why my account has been shrinking all along, mentally exhausting. --- People who understand stop-loss have already cashed out, while we are still floundering in the water. --- Risk understanding? I survive purely on luck, talking about it just brings tears. --- The market really exposes human nature, especially my greedy kind. --- Information judgment ability? All my info comes from big shots bragging in the group. --- Watching others go from tens of thousands to millions, while I went from millions to tens of thousands—it's quite a difference. --- If I don't learn and adjust, I'll just keep losing, anyway I'm used to it.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. Most people can't do the words "stop loss." Those who make money understand risk management, while those losing money still fantasize about a rebound. I only realized this after losing money—there's no cure for regret. It seems simple, but in practice, it's extremely difficult, especially during a decline. Watching others get rich every day, while you become worse and worse.
