There is a phenomenon in the crypto world that is very heartbreaking—making money in a way you don't understand, that's called luck hitting you. What is the smartest choice at this time? Cash out and secure your gains, then focus on studying and filling in the gaps in your knowledge one by one. Otherwise, if you keep guessing blindly, you'll eventually have to spit it out, and you might not even be able to preserve your principal.

Conversely, if you haven't achieved results after studying a field for a long time, that's called frustration. But what are you afraid of? True experts all go through this—fail repeatedly, get up again and again, and store experience in their minds. Is this process slow? Yes. But this is the confidence that allows you to stay in the market long-term.

In the end, the moment that belongs to you will definitely come, as long as you are still in the game.

Laughing and losing this round, only then do you realize what real tuition fees are --- Money earned by luck is really just paying the IQ tax, a cycle in itself --- It's hard to hold on, so many people die on the phrase "I'll just go all-in one more time to break even" --- Take it slow, anyway those who are fast are already lying on the liquidation list --- The premise is still being in the game, and this is the most heartbreaking part; most people have already been wiped out and exited --- Making money in a way you don't understand? That's like picking up money at the gambling table, sooner or later you'll have to pay it back with interest --- Most people don't have the patience for tutoring; they just want to turn things around in the next round --- That's why in a bull market there are plenty of newbies, and in a bear market only ashes remain

You talk really harshly. The money earned by luck will eventually have to be paid back. Too many people have learned this lesson. Is it fun to make money by guessing blindly? Fun, but even more fun to be cut back haha. Taking your time to research is much more reliable than blindly hitting a dead mouse, anyway, those who survive in the end are the ones who do this. Only those still in the game have a chance; those who get off the bus never do. Cognitive gaps cannot be filled, and the next market cycle will be your liquidation order. That's why most people die at the step of "I actually don't understand," and still can't bear to cash out.

That's so true. I'm the kind of person who makes a profit relying on luck and then loses it all. Only now do I realize that what’s missing is that bit of discipline. Wait, isn't this logic reversed... The ones who truly survive are actually those willing to go slow. Stop talking nonsense. Most people simply can't hold on that long. They get eliminated before even finishing their lessons. It takes ten or eight years to truly understand this. Saying it now feels too superficial.

That's so true. I've seen too many people get carried away after a little luck and then lose everything in a correction, even their principal. Wait, why do I feel like you're talking about me... The wave two years ago was indeed a naive profit, but the subsequent crash was also very despairing. The key is to stay calm and truly understand the underlying logic, otherwise it's just gambling.

That's really true. I was just unlucky with the money I made from blindly guessing. Luck comes quickly and goes just as fast, really. The key is in the learning process; most people can't do it. Should have understood that long ago.

Damn, that really hits home. I was just that fool who blindly guessed and made a profit once. If I had known losing so badly, I would have studied harder. Now I regret it to death. Really, taking it slow is much better than rushing blindly. Confidence is something built through experience. As long as you're still in the game, there's hope. Those who fall behind can just cry and leave. Luck is unreliable; brains are the real hard currency, everyone. It took two vomits to understand that I need to patch my vulnerabilities quickly, or else I’ll be a living target. Setbacks are nothing; the key is not to lie flat, but to get up and keep grinding.
