Over the years in the crypto world, I've seen too many maneuvers—frequent trading, chasing highs and selling lows, switching channels. It seems like you're doing something, but most of the time you're just making things harder for yourself.

Conversely, those who do nothing often live the most carefree lives. When the market is crazy, they choose to watch calmly; during dips, they stay put; amid hot topics and waves of hype, they remain unchanged.

This is not negativity, but restraint. True experts understand that not every opportunity needs to be seized, not every decline requires buying the dip, and not every rally needs to be chased. Sometimes, the hardest move is to stay silent.

In this noisy market, those who can maintain their rhythm and keep their mindset often win more confidently.

That's right, I just now realize how foolish I've been all these years. There's really no way to change the fact that I was involved in air coins. I can't hold on, my mentality has long since collapsed. Those who understand know, restraint is the key. That hits home, I am the cannon fodder who frequently makes moves. In the end, I still have to resort to selective ignorance to live comfortably. It's too hard to keep doing that person who does nothing at all.

That's right, I used to be itchy fingers too, and the ones who lost the most were those who operated frequently. Holding steady without moving is the real skill; most people simply can't do it.

Honestly, that really hit me. A couple of years ago, I was the type to trade frequently, and as a result, half of my profits were eaten up by fees. Doing nothing actually earns more. I realized this painful truth too late.

Well said. I used to be someone who couldn't resist and traded every day, ending up losing everything. Really, doing nothing and still making money is just unbelievable. People who chase hot topics every day probably got liquidated long ago. I'm now just relaxing and saving myself the trouble. Remaining calm like a mountain—that's the true way, everyone.

To be honest, I have now become the first type, constantly itching to chase gains and sell off, with my account resembling a roller coaster—really incredible.

That's so right. I'm doing nothing right now; every day, it's others losing money. Really, at first I wanted to follow the trend and buy the dip, but then I realized that's just giving away money. Hold steady and you'll win—simple and straightforward. The hardest part of this market is indeed to keep quiet. Watching others rush in makes me want to laugh. Silence is golden, although it sounds a bit cliché, but it truly proves true in the crypto world.

That's so true. I was the one who lost the most because I kept操作ing recklessly. Now looking at those laid-back brothers, they actually make more money. I'm really convinced. --- Staying still like a mountain—that's the highest realm in the crypto world, but unfortunately 99% of people can't achieve it. --- Holding BTC for years without moving, while friends who traded frequently during the same period all got their fees eaten up—that's the answer. --- It's tough. The more it drops, the more I want to buy the dip; the more it rises, the more I want to chase. Resisting these two behaviors is really harder than anything. --- Actually, the most profitable move is to do nothing, but we tend to find things to do for ourselves, so it's no wonder we lose. --- Watching K-line charts every day, wanting to trade every day, but in the end, it's better than those who check their account once a year. The mindset difference is huge. --- Damn, I'm that kind of person who can't stay idle. I must move to feel comfortable, but the result is constantly cutting losses—classic self-punishment. --- This is like a slap in the face for me. Every time I say I won't move this time, next time I can't help but start trading again. It's really a sickness.

To be honest, that statement is a bit of a blow to the heart. Weren't I the kind of person who was always hands-on before, and ended up losing the most? Really? Doing nothing actually earns the most? I think I've finally understood this wave.

Well said. The biggest regret of my past few years is frequently making impulsive trades; the worst losses actually came when I was the most active. Staying calm and silent is the key, really, it works better than any technical analysis. Now I’ve learned to just watch others enter the market and stay put, it’s much more comfortable. This is the self-cultivation of a winner; tough people are always silent. Less fussing, fewer mistakes, lying flat and winning is the top strategy. Wait, holding on can win? I always feel like I’m just waiting to die.
