#数字资产市场洞察 A new crypto investor's true portrait is far from those "turning ten thousand into a million in ten years" motivational stories. Instead, it’s a series of brutal, intertwined realities.



You start with ten thousand yuan, filled with dreams of "doubling passively," only to see your investment cut in half to five thousand the next day— that night, you toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep, waking up in the middle of the night to check the market on your phone, every second calculating how much you’ve burned through.

The whole year slips by like this, with the coin price repeatedly tearing between 1000 and 6000. You’re exhausted from the constant turmoil, secretly vowing: "As long as it hits 9000 again, I’ll sell!" But when the bull market finally arrives and the price surges to 8500, you start hesitating again. The shadows of past crashes still haunt your mind, and you think, "It must pull back to 6000," so you sell at 8500 without much thought, planning to buy back at a lower price later.

But the market doesn’t follow your script. It doesn’t drop to 6000; instead, it skyrockets. You watch helplessly as the opportunity slips through your fingers, and that regret can drive you crazy. Eventually, overwhelmed by psychological pressure, you chase the high at 9000, buying more—your position is restored, but the number of coins you hold is even less than before, a textbook "buy high, sell low" disaster.

Then, the coin price drops from 9000 to 7000. You start wavering, questioning whether you should bail out. Before you can decide, it jumps again to 12000, and you finally make some profit. But after tallying it up, you realize it’s only about 20% return in a year, and your confidence wavers again: "Is this all? A year of chaos for just this?"

This isn’t a legendary investment story; it’s a bloody, tear-streaked list of rookie mistakes—going all-in, full position, cutting losses, chasing highs, panic selling—repeatedly taught by the market. In the end, you can only brainwash yourself into thinking, "As long as I don’t lose money, I’ve won." But the torment, anxiety, and self-doubt experienced during that process are only understood by those who’ve truly been through it.

I’ve been in the crypto scene for years, and I’ve heard stories like this so many times my ears are almost calloused. Don’t be fooled by the dream of "hundredfold in ten years." The truth of the crypto market is: it’s an arena of emotion, a mirror reflecting human nature. You think you’re investing, but really, you’re battling your greed and fear—winning depends on luck, losing is the norm. This game isn’t about fighting the market; it’s a constant fight with yourself.
