#山寨币行情启动在即? The square heats up and "experts" pile up. Constantly screenshotting increasingly exaggerated claims—contracts doubling, daily five-figure income—making people envious and heart pounding. But when the bear market knocks, you'll instantly understand what "disappear into thin air" really means.
I've seen it many times. During a bull market, some people see their contracts multiply several times in a month, walking on air, constantly talking about "big picture" and "fund flow"; then, when the market makes a U-shaped reversal with a long lower shadow, their accounts are wiped out, and they vanish, even afraid to open their accounts to check.
The truth in the crypto world is never about how fast you make money, but whether you can secure your profits.
Over time, I’ve figured out a few things: in a bull market, learn to "stop greed"; in a bear market, dare to "accumulate positions." That’s the real skill to survive.
The most common pitfall in a bull market isn’t missing the opportunity, but thinking it’s not enough even after catching it. Increasing your position repeatedly, moving your stop-loss line outward again and again, then when a correction hits, you end up losing everything you made. Many people fall into this cycle.
A bear market is the opposite extreme. No hype, no news, no applause, no emotional boost—seems useless. But precisely because of that, it reveals who has real skill. Experienced traders who have gone through several cycles tend to slowly build positions during this time, using years to exchange for chips, waiting for the next big turn in the market.
Many newcomers want to go all out as soon as they enter, afraid they’ll miss the "wealth freedom" train if they move too slowly. But the problem is—if your risk control isn’t solid, emotional management isn’t mastered, and trading discipline isn’t established, then using real money to practice is just paying tuition outright.

It's the same story again; those who chase quick profits are indeed gone. I've seen too many.
That's right, greed in a bull market is a terminal illness; a single long lower shadow candle can wipe everything out.
Accumulating positions in a bear market is easy to talk about, but sticking with it is really hard.
The words "stop greed" sound easy, but how many people can actually do it? Anyway, I haven't seen many.
That's why most people are still losing money, because they can never get past the emotional management hurdle.

Basically, those who try to make quick money tend to die young. I have too many such people around me.
They seem to understand everything, but in reality, it's all just talk.
A bear market is the true test; only then do people dare to accumulate, and that's true courage.
Saying "stop greed" is easy, but actually doing it is even harder than climbing to the sky.
Want to buy the dip but afraid of losing, in the end, nothing is bought—just like that.
The biggest problem for newcomers is their mentality; they want to double their account before it even warms up, which is too naive.
I don't even bother to look at those who post screenshots every day.

It's a bit harsh, but it really hits home. I've seen too many people dream of a bull market and disappear in the bear market.
Here comes another "I have a big-picture view," and next time, you'll be the one losing even more.
The words "stop greed" sound simple, but few actually do it, truly.
Newcomers enter the market, all hoping to get rich overnight, but when it's time to pay tuition, they have nowhere to cry.
The bear market is truly a mirror that reveals all—who's just fishing around and who's making strategic moves is crystal clear.
I agree with this theory, but the key is mental resilience; most people simply can't withstand it.
Thinking of a genius in a certain contract from two months ago—now the account has been deleted, haha.

actually, the survival rate calculation here is way off. think of it this way—most retail traders are operating with negative expected value because they're optimizing for narratives instead of risk-adjusted returns. ceteris paribus, the ones who last aren't the ones talking loudest in the chat.

hypothesis: the entire altseason narrative mirrors a classic information asymmetry problem... those screenshots are basically oracle manipulation disguised as "alpha sharing"
ngl the bearmarket accumulation thesis hits different when you're actually living through it instead of larping on discord

Exactly right, I've seen too many people bragging during bull markets, and a simple correction exposes their true colors.

Here we go again with this routine, talking sweetly and eloquently, but when the bear market hits, everyone shuts up haha
Is it even appropriate to teach others when your own account is wiped out?
Listening to advice to stop greed and accumulate is easy, but few can actually do it
Newcomers are most afraid of people who say "I've figured it out," and often they are the next to crash and burn
