The market in 2025 is like a whetstone; what is truly worn away is not the principal, but those unrealistic fantasies. Over the past half year, I have realized two principles.



First, staying away from noise improves efficiency. After leaving all the signal groups, I was able to see the candlestick charts more clearly. Second, during a decline, it’s crucial to identify the right targets. Assets that are resilient and still undergoing ecosystem development are worth paying close attention to.

Looking back at this year's operations, the most successful was gradually rebuilding positions after the big drop in April. The biggest failure was in September when I was blinded by the hype of a small concept, FOMO chasing the high, and as a result, I gave back two months’ worth of profits in three days. Market laws are actually very simple — they always reward those who remain calm and go against the trend, and punish those who are impatient and follow the crowd.

Now my strategy has changed. I always keep about 10% of stablecoins in my account, not for quick dips, but to build psychological resilience — so I can stay confident and not look at the charts in any situation. Frankly, maintaining control is much more important than trying to predict the next move.

The September FOMO wave was truly a painful lesson, losing two months' profits in three days really showed me something. I also need to try quitting the call group; being led by the rhythm every day is so annoying. Leaving ten percent of stablecoins isn't for bottom-fishing? That's a pretty fresh perspective, I haven't really considered the psychological construction cost. Honestly, the thing I fear the most is losing control; then there's nothing I can change. The analogy of a whetstone is perfect; last year, I lost a lot of illusions through it.

The FOMO moment in September was really amazing. I also did this stupid thing, and I'm still paying off debt now haha

That September wave of FOMO was truly a painful lesson... Profits from two months wiped out in three days. It still hurts to think about it. Leaving the signal group was definitely a smart move; now I have more peace and can see things more clearly. Allocating 10% to stablecoins is a good idea. Only with a steady mindset can you avoid getting caught in a trap.
