Losing money in cryptocurrency trading isn't because of a bad mindset; it's because your brain is designed this way:
1. Reluctance to cut losses – Loss aversion: The brain feels the pain of loss 2.5 times more strongly than the pleasure of profit. Therefore, you'll always hold losing positions longer than winning ones.
2. Clinging to the purchase price – Anchoring effect: The brain uses the first number as a reference point. "I bought at 80,000, I can't sell at 70,000," but the market doesn't care how many tens of thousands you bought at.
3. Following the crowd – FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Hundreds of thousands of years ago, following your tribe could save you; now, chasing the crowd will only leave you holding the bag.
4. Overconfidence – Overconfidence: 90% of people believe their judgment is above average. Mathematically, this is impossible.
These aren't "mindset problems," they're hard-coded into the brain by evolution, almost impossible to completely overcome.
The only thing you can do is acknowledge you're human, and then use systems and rules to fight your instincts.
