In the 2025 market, the biggest lesson is not how to make quick money, but how to survive longer. Most of the time, you're caught in a cycle of anxiety and waiting, and truly good opportunities only come around two or three times a year. Missing them is no reason to regret.



The deepest insight is: respect macro narratives and don't overconfidence in your own judgment. The market is often driven by larger forces, and blindly chasing gains or cutting losses is the easiest way to fall into a trap. Instead of frequent trading, it's more practical to preserve your principal.

Those who found opportunities in niche areas this year all have solid research skills and enough psychological resilience to hold on. There may still be waves in Q4, but a reminder here: too many ordinary investors lose money during bull markets, and greed is the main reason.

Final advice: don't be greedy. In the crypto market, surviving always comes before earning.

Living longer is correct, but most people can't accept it. Protecting your principal is truly the greatest profit; once you start greed, you've already begun to lose. Mindset is more important than technique; these days, few people understand this.

Living a long life really hits the point—it's much more realistic than chasing quick money. --- That's right, greed is truly a common flaw in the crypto world. Seeing others' prices go up makes it hard to sit still. --- Respect the macro narrative; this must be engraved in your heart. Too many people get cut and still don't understand what happened. --- Two or three good opportunities a year, and I haven't even caught one, hahaha. --- Protecting the principal is indeed more enjoyable than frequent trading, but when the market moves, I can't help myself. --- Will there be more waves in the fourth quarter? Brother, are you giving me hope or testing my bottom line? --- Mental resilience is truly a hundred times more important than technical analysis. --- Don't be greedy. Two words weigh more than a thousand pounds, but unfortunately, those who realize this have all lost money. --- At the moment of blindly chasing gains and selling at losses, the outcome is already doomed—it's just that you haven't realized it yet. --- There are too many people around me losing money in a bull market—each greedier than the last.

That's so true, living is the way to go --- The idea of only having two or three chances a year hits hard. I've chased after all of them and lost every time --- Protecting the principal is really more important than anything else. That one greed moment got me stuck until now --- I understand too well the losses in a bull market. My hand itches to chase high, and I'm still reflecting on it --- I've never really understood the macro narrative part. I feel like I was the one who got cut during that wave --- Psychological resilience is really a big deal. Watching others make money is the ultimate test of human nature --- I'm still a bit afraid of the Q4 wave, worried about greed causing me to repeat last year's mistakes --- It's a bit hard to say no regrets. Missed opportunities are often good ones --- Finding opportunities in niche areas sounds simple, but in reality, it requires effort and research --- The respect for the market is growing on me, especially after being repeatedly educated by big funds

It sounds like a truth, but to be honest, most people simply can't listen. You have to experience a fall yourself to understand. --- Living long is the key point. Protecting your principal is the top priority. Greed kills. --- Haha, that's right. Unfortunately, 99% of people only get in at the end of a bull market, and then... you all know. --- Respect macroeconomics. Those who don't are lying on the ground. This has really been engraved in my mind. --- I believe in a good opportunity two or three times a year, but I'm afraid of missing it and still chasing after it. This disease is incurable. --- Mental resilience is really important. No matter how strong your skills are, if your mind collapses, it's useless. That's the biggest enemy. --- Don't be greedy. The words are simple, but executing them... is difficult, especially when you see others making money.
