I was chatting with friends over tea about trading recently, and the truth is, most people in the crypto world don't lose to the market, but to themselves.
For a while, I was glued to the screen every day. A single candlestick could send my emotions soaring and plummeting. I was afraid of missing out on gains if it went up, and afraid of being stuck with losses if it went down. The result was chaotic and increasingly disorganized trading.
Later, I realized the market wasn't targeting me; it was just normal fluctuation. I treated every tremor like my last.
Many people also fall in love with leverage, thinking they can get rich overnight. The result: their accounts go to zero before their mindset does. Others lack position management and planning, relying entirely on intuition, impulse, and the belief that tomorrow will be better.
Honestly, the biggest opponent for retail investors isn't institutions, but our limited ability to withstand volatility. Only by remaining calm can we have a chance. Without calm, no method will work. #btc
