The longer you stay in the crypto world, the more you can see a phenomenon: for most people, losses are not really about luck, but about falling into a toxic habit—your brain doesn’t want to think, but your hands are eager to act.

When watching the market, your eyes only scan the red and green; your fingers click based on instinct when placing orders; the reason for entering a position is simply because someone in the group is shouting about the hype. As for what this project is actually doing, where the money comes from, or how the market sentiment is currently evolving—these are all thrown to the back of your mind.

When the market suddenly plunges, keyboard warriors emerge—complaining that the whales are secretly manipulating, blaming the platform for setting traps, and accusing the whole world of conspiring against them. But how many are truly willing to stop and ask themselves a serious question:

Why did I buy this in the first place? What was the reason?

Next time I encounter a similar situation, will I make the same mistake again?

Honestly, many people don’t want to face the truth. The reason is simple: it’s not that someone set a trap for you, but that you are too impatient, too greedy, and too unwilling to put in effort. Lazy to learn, lazy to verify, lazy to wait—just thinking about whether you can take a shortcut.

There’s a saying that might hit home, but it needs to be said: the crypto market will never understand your emotions, nor will it compensate for your ignorance. When you replace analysis with impulsiveness, substitute group chats for research, and rely on candlestick fluctuations instead of logical thinking, your role in this market has already changed—you are no longer an active participant, but a part swallowed by market liquidity.

Want to make money in this market? It’s never about shouting or following blindly. The real competition is: do you have the courage to take responsibility for every trade you make?

If you haven’t thought through your reasons, don’t rush to open a position; if the logic doesn’t add up, don’t force it; if you don’t understand the trend, just watch and wait—this is not shameful, it’s professionalism.

Remember one principle: every path is walked by yourself, and every pit you fall into is jumped into by yourself. To suffer fewer losses, start by taking responsibility for every decision you make.
