Everyone who has been in the crypto market knows that the biggest opponent for beginners is often not technical analysis, but the mindset of wanting to get rich overnight.
There are many stories of quick money here — but only a few can survive until the end. How exactly can you avoid repeating the same mistakes? I think these points are very eye-opening:
**First: Losing money is paying tuition** Don’t go all-in right away. Try with a small position; if you lose it, consider it tuition. Don’t add positions, go all-in, or follow the crowd into trades — these seemingly boring operations are exactly what most people can’t stick to. The truth in the crypto world is that your principal is limited, but the risks are infinite.
**Second: Having free time actually earns more** Frequent trading? That’s mostly paying exchange fees and getting your mindset shattered by market fluctuations. When the market is unclear, take a break; if you’re unsure, don’t move. The market fluctuates so often — don’t fear missing out — real opportunities will come again.
**Third: Don’t just think about trading coins** Some make steady profits through mining, some position early projects, and others farm in DeFi. Different capital scales and risk tolerances require different strategic layouts. Skilled traders never put all their eggs in one basket; multiple strategies running simultaneously can make returns more stable.
Ultimately, the crypto market isn’t about who rushes the fastest, but who persists the longest. Starting from capital management, emotional control, and diversified strategies — even with limited initial funds, you can gradually find your own rhythm. Slow and steady is the real moat.

Really, frequent operations are just giving money to the exchange. I've been exploited like that before, and I was so frustrated that I just gave up that time.

Really, I truly understand the importance of small position trial and error; otherwise, I would have been cut to the bottom of my pants long ago.

Honestly, those who go all-in haven't survived more than two cycles of bull and bear markets.

You're right, not going all-in is really the hardest thing to do...

That's right, but the reality is that most people forget after reading it, and as soon as the market moves in the next hour, they go all-in immediately.

That's right, where are the guys who went all-in now? They've probably been eliminated long ago.

That hits too close to home. I'm the kind of sucker who gets drained by exchanges through frequent trading, haha.

It sounds good, but 99% of people can't do it. I've looked at on-chain data for several months, and the addresses that frequently operate are mostly losing money; transaction fees eat up half of the profits... The ones truly earning passively are the early big whale addresses that were strategically positioned. Is it still safe to enter now?
