#数字资产市场洞察 In the crypto world, you'll gradually realize a simple truth: it's not about reaction speed, but about mindset and patience.

Short-term trading? It seems like there are many opportunities, but in reality, it consumes not only time but also capital. Futures trading is even more ruthless—one leverage loss could take years to recover from. But holding coins is different; accumulating good assets and letting time become your ally—the logic of earning interest will eventually speak for itself.

I didn't quite believe this before. It wasn't until I spent nearly five years in the market that I truly understood the weight of these words. From repeatedly chasing highs and lows, to learning to hold back, and then to steadfastly holding positions—each step was paid for with tuition. That's how the crypto market is; you can't rush it. Accumulate experience, grasp the rhythm, and when the next cycle comes, the goals will naturally be achieved.

You're right, but I still can't shake the habit of chasing gains and selling in panic, haha --- The principle I learned from five years of tuition fees, I lost it all back in two months --- I believe in the strategy of holding coins, it's just that I can't stop myself from being impulsive --- It sounds good, but how many can really endure? --- That move in the contract was indeed ruthless, a bloody lesson --- Having a good mindset is true, but why is it just so hard to control? --- Patience is easy to talk about, but as soon as the market dips, my mentality collapses --- Waiting for the next cycle? Let's just survive this one first --- Repeated trading is indeed like working for the exchange --- Holding coins with this logic is fine, but I'm just afraid of holding until zero

According to research, the essence of short-term trading is a zero-sum game, with data showing that over 90% of participants ultimately incur losses. This can be fully explained from the perspective of information asymmetry. On the other hand, the logic of "holding coins to generate income" is more aligned with the mathematical principles of compound interest from a technical standpoint. It is worth noting that the author did not mention the issues of risk exposure and asset allocation, which are actually the key points.

Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of crypto articles. This really hits home. After all this tossing and turning, what have I realized? I'm still stuck in a crazy cycle of chasing gains and cutting losses, haha. Contract traders are silently crying here. A single liquidation really takes you back to the beginning. That's right, it's just a lack of patience. Always eager to jump in quickly. I've been through the same. If I had known earlier, I'd rather just hold coins and relax to win.

On-chain data shows that I’ve been through the same process; five years of tuition fees were not paid in vain. Now I’m just waiting for the cycle to speak. The short-term strategies are indeed highly profitable but also highly risky; backtesting the past two years’ data shows a win rate of less than 40%, so it’s better to just hold and accumulate. Contract leverage? That’s the eye of the storm. I’ve seen too many get liquidated, waking up one day to find everything gone—absolutely devastating. I now believe in the logic of holding coins. Although I still experience FOMO and chase a couple of waves, I firmly hold my core positions. That’s the way to go. Honestly, it’s a bit late to realize this after so much tossing around, but I think I understood it earlier than many others.

Really, the more aggressively you play short-term strategies, the more you lose. My friend directly got liquidated on a futures contract. HODLing is truly the only way out. Stop messing around. I've heard too many stories of "I want to buy the dip against the trend," and in the end, they all end up in the hospital. Mindset is something that's easy to talk about but hard to do. But on the other hand, those who have persisted until now have all made a profit.

Haha, experiencing liquidation three times on a contract finally made me understand this principle. That's so true. I'm also a short-term trader, now I've switched to holding, finally able to sleep peacefully. This sentence really hits home... The money lost in a year has to be made up over two years of holding. Just want to ask everyone, how do you stay firm and not waver? I get itchy hands easily. I've paid quite a bit in tuition fees, now just waiting for the next round. Really, using leverage is fun but filling the gaps is hard. I choose to lie flat. Patience is easy to talk about, but it's a real test when doing it. Took five years of struggling to realize? How long do I have to struggle... Anyway, I won't trade short-term anymore, just stack steadily. That set of contracts is indeed ruthless; how many years of hard work go to waste after a total wipeout.

Five years of tuition fees, I understand this blood and tears story. It's just that too many people are still chasing gains and selling off in panic; only after losing everything do they realize. Holding coins is indeed a tough decision, the key is whether you can endure the few months of downturn mentality. Contracts are really like poison; once a leverage explosion happens, you have to start over. I'm also a veteran in the crypto circle, now just buying and holding to avoid watching the market every day. If this cycle can turn around, it depends on everyone's patience.
