Have you ever noticed that there are always people around who start blaming others whenever they lose money—blaming the bad market, bad luck, or information asymmetry? But few stop to ask themselves: Is the problem really outside?

Honestly, this is the core issue. When you keep making the same mistakes, losses will keep following you. Until one day, you’ve had enough of the pain, accumulated enough lessons, and your mindset and understanding can truly transform. Only then can you break out of this cycle.

The same applies in the crypto world. No amount of capital can save those with insufficient knowledge. Without upgrading your understanding, you are destined to be repeatedly educated by the market. This is not motivational talk, but a rule.

Honestly, I am the one who blamed the market and luck at the beginning, until I got beaten up a few times and finally understood. Really, no matter how much capital you have, it can't save your mind. That hits hard. Every time I lose money, I ask myself the same question: when will I truly change my way of thinking? The cruelest thing in the crypto world is that the market will teach you how to be a person over and over again, until you learn. Instead of blaming others, it's better to slap yourself and then ask yourself what went wrong. This kind of pain is the best teacher; losing money is more valuable than anything else.

Really, reflecting on this is easy to say but hard to do; most people are still used to passing the buck. Cognition is like equipment; without upgrades, don’t expect to clear the level. After losing a few times, I realized that the real problem is actually myself. The most painful thing in the crypto world is this—no matter how much money you have, it can't save your mind. Absolutely right, there are quite a few people educated by the market, and I am one of them. This is not just motivational talk; it’s the hard truth learned through blood, sweat, and tears.

Wow, that really hits home. I'm the kind of person who blames the market whenever I lose money. Every time I say I'll change next time, but I end up repeating the same mistakes. It's really incredible. Cognition is easy to talk about, but upgrading it is incredibly difficult.

Haha, really, that buddy of mine lost 300,000 and is still talking about market manipulation, I just laughed. --- Wake up, everyone. Awareness really can save your life. Not upgrading is just a waste of effort. --- Exactly right, I was like that before too, until I got hammered and finally understood. --- Lack of awareness = losing money. This equation is especially true in the crypto world. --- The most annoying are those who blame the cycle whenever they lose money. Why not ask themselves how they made their trades? --- I've heard too many such words; few people truly change. --- Damn, this is exactly how I've been lately. I need to reflect. --- The cost of crypto education is real money, but the cost of awareness is much cheaper than tuition. --- The key is that most people suffer but don't learn their lesson and keep repeating the same mistakes. --- Although this sounds a bit harsh, it's really the truth.

To be honest, I've heard this kind of talk too many times, and it always hits close to home. The people around me, when they lose money, start making up stories and never look at their own trades...

It really hits hard, I'm the kind of person who always shifts blame One word, amazing. Cognition is something that only gets enlightened after being repeatedly beaten by the market Damn, I've seen through it long ago, but I just can't change That's right, no matter how much capital you have, you can't stop the IQ tax I'm stunned, it's always the same trap every time

Really, those people around me who keep shouting "the market is harvesting my gains," end up stepping into the same traps again. It's hilarious. Without upgrading your understanding, no matter how much money you put in, it's just feeding the dog.

Really, I've seen too many people blame others after losing money, but then they turn around and keep doing the same stupid things... The most outrageous thing is they even have the nerve to blame the market. Awakening is something you have to do yourself; no one can do it for you. How many people have sufficient capital but still get cut? Isn't it because their minds haven't kept up? Upgrading one's cognition is correct, but knowing is one thing, and actually changing is another... Anyway, I've had enough and started seriously reviewing my own operations. This talk is old, but the problem is that knowing is easy, doing is hard, everyone.

I've been saying this all along... Over the years, most people just die because they can't figure this out. They always think they'll make it back next time, that their luck will be better next time, but the result is always just taking over others' positions. Cognition really is the bottleneck; if you don't upgrade it, you're doomed. History repeats itself, and so will your losses. Those who buy the dip will never learn.
