#美国证券交易委员会推进数字资产监管框架创新 Over the past few years entering the crypto market, I’ve summarized a truth: the times when you can make big money are often the most agonizing.
Seven days ago, there were only 7,100 USDT in my account. At that time, I didn’t think too much, just followed my usual operation rhythm, testing with small positions. After all, the risk in the crypto world is obvious, so I had to stay calm.
Who knew the market would behave like a person’s discernment, completely aligning with my direction. The candlesticks kept jumping upward one after another, each time refreshing the screen, those numbers kept pushing my cognitive limits. From a few thousand to tens of thousands, then skyrocketing further. Heart pounding, palms sweating, even the grip on the mouse unconsciously tightening.
The next day, the rational voice in my mind buzzed: it’s time to take profits. But the price gave no chance to turn back; each new candlestick always pulled me back from the decision to exit. That feeling is hard to describe — it’s not greed at play, but a helplessness driven by the market.
By the third day, when my account balance hit 130,000 USDT, my brain short-circuited. Not excited, but overwhelmed by a sense of unreality. Like watching someone else’s account data, then suddenly realizing it’s actually my own.
Now, I still have over 120,000 in my account. But my phone has become my inner demon — every few minutes, I instinctively open the app. Not to continue trading, but out of an inexplicable fear: fear of exchange failures, network delays, or those numbers vanishing into thin air with a refresh.
This is the true portrayal of the crypto world. Earning unexpected gains doesn’t bring happiness first; instead, it teaches you to revere — revere the market’s unpredictability, revere your own greed, revere every decision behind those account numbers.

Really, I totally understand this mindset. I also experienced the moment when 7100 surged to 130,000, and people were stunned.
Wait, can the SEC's regulatory framework really help stabilize the market? It seems it might actually cause more delays.
Holding onto 120,000 is already a win. Compared to those who got liquidated, we are already the chosen ones.
The part about inner demons was written perfectly. I also want to watch the market every second now.
Good news can easily turn into bad news. That's just how the crypto world is.
I can't believe this is real. Instead, I start to believe that the market will take everything away.

7,100 to 130,000, that's a nice talk, but your finger is still trembling, right?

This is the real truth of the crypto world; making money is even more exhausting than losing money.
---
Holding the mouse until your hand cramps, I guess this is fate.
---
Clicking the app every few minutes, I'm cracking up—are you gambling or committing suicide?
---
Fear the market’s unpredictability? Isn't that just being cowardly? Haha.
---
Still afraid of the exchange crashing at 120,000? Your mental resilience is truly solid.

I totally understand this mindset. The moment you go from 7,100 to 130,000, it's truly like your soul leaving your body.
The biggest cost of chasing quick money is mental exhaustion, which is even more painful than losing money.
But since you still have 120,000 in hand, it shows you're still rational. Some people have already gone all-in and lost everything.

I really can't hold it anymore, this is my daily routine haha

From 7k to 130k, honestly I've been through it too. That feeling is really not happiness, but torture
---
The crypto world is like this, making money is even more painful than losing money, the feeling of never putting the phone down is so real
---
How can I sleep peacefully with 120,000 in my account? I'm going crazy
---
This paragraph is written perfectly, the phrase "Respect the market" really hit me
---
Exactly, just want to lock in profits quickly but also afraid of missing the next wave, both sides are torment
---
No matter how the regulatory framework is innovated, it can't change this psychological torment haha
