Many people ask me how to survive longer in the crypto market. My answer is simple—reverence.
This market is never short of success stories. Those who were bragging about gains yesterday might have already been liquidated today. Conversely, traders who have experienced losses often live to see the bull market. What's the difference? Mindset.
It's human nature to get carried away when earning big—when account numbers skyrocket, the mind becomes overcharged, leading to chasing highs and selling lows, frequent trading, and ultimately being educated by the market. When losing, it's easy to panic—chasing bottoms and trying to buy the dip, often resulting in deeper losses.
The truly profitable people do very simple things—they respect the market's volatility. They don't go all-in at the top of a bull market, nor do they despair completely in a bear market. Instead, they see the long-term trend clearly and hold steady.
The logic behind the movement of leading assets like BTC and ETH is actually very clear; the problem is that most people can't see it clearly because of too much noise. Short-term fluctuations cause anxiety—once anxious, it's easy to make impulsive moves, and impulsive moves often lead to losses. By stepping out of the temptation of short-term volatility and focusing on long-term gains, you can sleep well and earn steadily.
The market will always exist, and opportunities are always present. The key is what you choose to do today—pursue the thrill of short-term trading or patiently build long-term wealth? The choice is yours.

nah the "respect the market" speech hits different when you've actually seen people go from 10x bragging to rekt in 48 hours... watched it play out too many times already

That's right, I've seen too many dreams of overnight wealth shattered; it's still important to have reverence.

That's right, but most people simply can't do it. I see so many people shouting every day about holding coins long-term, but when it drops 20%, they cut their losses.

That's right, I've seen too many people become arrogant after a market surge only to be completely wiped out.
This is the harsh reality of crypto—those who last the longest are not the ones calling the shots, but rather the brothers quietly doing DCA.

Honestly, I like the word "reverence" more. It's much more sensible than those who shout about getting rich overnight every day.

You're right. I've seen too many get-rich-quick schemes that run away overnight, but the key is to stay alive and see the next cycle.
