#密码资产动态追踪 I gave up on a trading student. She turned 2,000U into 80,000U but regretted everything overnight. This might be the hardest decision I’ve made as a mentor, and also the most correct one.
Three months ago, in the middle of the night, her voice was mixed with her child's crying and her choking sobs: "This is my last principal, if I lose again, my family will really be finished." I’ve heard too many traders' voices crushed by the market—such despair is real.
I set her a single rule: divide 2,000U into 20 management portions, never exceeding one portion per trade. She almost broke down: "How long will it take to turn things around?" I made no concessions: "People living in the market must first learn one word—slow."
In the days that followed, she stayed up after her child fell asleep, reviewing trades and organizing notes. Her account climbed from 2,000U to 5,000U, then to 30,000U, and finally 80,000U. Every step was steady, and she even started sharing her trading insights with me, her eyes full of vitality.
One afternoon, she asked me, "Have I graduated?" My gut was flashing warning lights.
A few days later, she sleepwalked into a hot altcoin and bought full position. "This will win, debt will be wiped out," she said excitedly.
48 hours later, her account was halved.
I asked why she didn’t cut losses in time. She was silent for a long time: "I thought... this time would be an exception."
Before deleting her, I wrote the last sentence: "What you lost is not just U, but also two words—'I thought.' Survivors in the market are never the most aggressive, but the most respectful."
From hundreds to thousands relies on technical accumulation; from thousands to tens of thousands depends on mental management. In a bull market, maintaining rhythm and locking in profits promptly—these are the true practices in trading.

In plain terms, greed is the thing that can't be stopped by any rules. Going from 80,000 to zero is just a matter of a single thought. I really thought these three words could kill.

It's the story of "I thought this time would be different" again. Really, every time I hear it, I want to smash the screen.

To be honest, the words "I thought" are really the most expensive three words in trading. How many people have fallen for this?

This story is really heartbreaking, but those three words "I thought" really kill... so many people have died here.

I thought this time would be an exception... Really, I've heard too many stories like this, each time it's "just this once," and then there is no next time.

Uh, it's that same "I thought" story again, I've heard it too many times. To be honest, the woman's mindset issue isn't with the mentor; it's that greed really can't be cured. The speed from 80,000 to zero is often faster than from zero to 80,000, and this is the true reflection of crypto.

Honestly, the words "I thought" can really kill... Seeing so many people crash and burn like this, as soon as the account balance gets big, they start to hallucinate and completely forget their original intention.

Oh, this is the gambler's mentality. No matter how stable the system is, it can't withstand a single "I thought."
