To survive in the crypto market, you really don't need much. One phone and one computer are enough. But what's the key? It's the mindset cultivated from classic investment literature.

Persistence is the hard truth. Why do I say that? The initial challenges are very real. Strategies will fail, and the market will enter periods of silence; these are normal operations. Many people choose to give up at this moment, but from another perspective, every setback is actually an opportunity to learn. You accumulate experience through losses, and improve your understanding through setbacks. As long as you're still in the market, it means you're making progress. Ultimately, success often doesn't belong to the smartest people, but to those who can persist and see the journey through.

I've heard this set of words countless times, but the key is that only by truly enduring those days of heavy losses can you say Persistence is persistence, but most people simply can't hold on until the day they turn around Phones and computers are enough; whether the mind is enough is the real question Anyone who has gone through two or three bear markets understands that being alive is the real winner—easy to say It's called a learning opportunity in a nice way, but in reality, it's market education The ones who are truly making money have already gotten on board; we're here talking about persistence Mindset is important, but sometimes luck is even more crucial. Don't believe it? Ask those who go all-in with their entire portfolio

nah the whole "just hodl and read Graham" thing sounds nice in retrospect, but lemme be real—most people who preach this didn't actually survive their first bear cycle either. survival is one thing, *thriving* requires understanding network effects and adoption curves, not just stubborn patience.

Mobile phones and computers are sufficient, but what is truly scarce is the unwavering mindset... It's easy to say, but surviving is the real challenge. --- When the dead silence period comes, everyone leaves. Those who stay are the winners. There's no doubt about that. --- Classic books can change the way of thinking... but why do I feel that most people just read them in vain? --- Persistence indeed makes sense, but how do we define the line where persistence leads to bankruptcy? --- Suffering losses to accumulate experience sounds like justifying losing money haha. --- The smartest people have already left the market... whether those who stay are true warriors or true fools depends on how the cycle unfolds. --- If you're still in the market, you're still making progress? Then my progress over these years has been truly profound.

Is a phone and computer enough? I don't think so... The key is that you need to monitor whale wallet movements 24/7, otherwise you'll miss a transfer in the blink of an eye.

It sounds good, but few can really endure the dead silence period. I've seen too many people shout about persistence only to run away in the end. Having enough phone and computer is not an issue, but the mindset is the real challenge... Everyone says persistence is the hard truth every day, but who can still smile when the principal is cut in half? I've heard this set of theories countless times; the key is execution, right? Most people can't stick to it for more than two months. The way of thinking is indeed important, but luck can't be ignored either. Don't attribute all success to persistence.

Good words, but I see a bunch of people with phones and computers all set up, and in the end, they still end up losing so badly they doubt their lives. This thing called thinking patterns sounds very mysterious. What’s the point of persistence? Persisting with a wrong strategy is still wrong. The real battle is probably about mental resilience and luck, so don’t fool yourself. Persisting when you have no bullets is pointless; reality is this cruel. That’s what they say, but the market has long since filtered out batch after batch of "perseverers." Surviving is winning. The smartest people often don’t live long, I agree with that, but the least intelligent people also don’t live long.
