#美国贸易赤字状况 Is getting rich overnight really a thing? I ask myself.
That time at 3 a.m., the numbers on the screen were crashing down, I sat in the corner of the balcony, finishing my last cigarette. My phone buzzed nonstop, over 20 messages flooded in. I opened it and saw messages like "Bro, hang in there," "I'll send you money to eat," "Hold on, $500 first to get through this week"—all from friends. There was even a message from someone I had only known for three days.
This was the third time I wiped out my account. But at that moment, I suddenly understood one thing: the price movements of coins like $ZEC, $CLO, none of that matters—it's 3 a.m., and someone still cares about you.
Technical analysis? I’ve known for a long time that it’s fake.
Many people believe the myth that trading crypto is a technical skill, staring at MACD, golden crosses, death crosses every day, as if understanding candlestick charts can make you rich overnight. But think about it—every time the bull market is about to peak, aunties doing square dancing start debating Bitcoin; conversely, at the bottom of a bear market, even some so-called analysts secretly delete their apps. What does this tell us? The market isn’t driven by technicals at all; it’s two emotions tearing at each other—FOMO (fear of missing out) on one side, and fear (fear of zero) on the other.
Remember last year during the LUNA days, a guy in the group sent 200 voice messages in half an hour. First, "I’m going to buy the dip," then not long after, "Are we teaming up on the roof?" Three days later, this guy showed his contract order—shorted and made three times the profit.
Do you get it? When everyone is overwhelmed by emotion, everyone becomes fuel. But only those who can reverse-harvest emotions can finally hold real gold and silver.
This is the game rule in the crypto world. Having felt the despair of a bear market and the frenzy of a bull market, looking back, all that technical stuff is just clouds. The ones who truly survive are never the smartest, but those with the best emotional control.
To everyone still struggling in the crypto space: hold on.

Getting liquidated three times and still able to write so thoroughly, your mindset is truly remarkable.
Technical analysis is just a cover; emotions are the real gold and silver. I love hearing that.
Someone still cares about you at 3 a.m., more valuable than any K-line chart.
The guy who shorted LUNA three times during that wave, is he still in the crypto circle now?
Honestly, those who survive are never the smartest, but those with strong psychological resilience.
Holding on is like chicken soup, but honesty—I respect that.
Aunties doing square dancing should have run when they entered; that's the truth.
Only those who can reverse and harvest emotions can win. Rough words, but the truth—just like that.
By the time you hit liquidation for the fourth time, you should understand, but some friends are still doing well.
In this crypto game, those who survive until the end are never the ones who predicted the right wave.

Wow, the third liquidation and I can still have this realization, I respect you, brother.
This article hit a nerve for me, I feel the same way.
The phrase "technical analysis is fake"—I need to print it out and put it on the wall.

That's so true, it hurts more than looking at any candlestick chart.
