Last night, when Bitcoin dropped from the position of $91,000, two completely different images flashed through my mind.
On one side is my old buddy "Scarface" who has been with me for over a year; seeing the signal, he opened a short position without hesitation and made a lot of profit. On the other side is the newcomer "Little Duck" who just entered the market a while ago. At the same entry point and with the same prompt, he only dared to open a symbolic small position, and in the end, the money he earned was only enough for a decent takeaway.
This is the reality. The same opportunity is presented, but whether you dare to take action makes all the difference.
Last night near 91000, I was staring at that long upper shadow, and my intuition immediately sounded the alarm: the bulls are losing strength, a reversal is coming.
This guy Scar is precise and ruthless, and his position is fully loaded. The little duck also followed in but he specifically sent a message: "Bro, I'm afraid you might be wrong in your judgment, I'll test the waters first."
I totally understand this mentality.
People who are new to the circle are like this - they don't trust market trends, don't trust others' judgments, don't trust those who provide trades, and even don't trust themselves.
Not long after, Bitcoin began to drop as expected. A fork in fate has appeared.
The profit and loss numbers on the scar side are jumping like a roller coaster, hundreds, thousands, soaring all the way. And what about the little duck over here? The floating profit is slowly climbing, staring for half a day and only rising by twenty or thirty bucks, like saving for a pension.
Do you feel suffocated or not?
The market feeds on human nature. Those with courage gnaw on the big bones, the timid sip some soup, and those who hesitate can't even lick the soup dregs.
Closing the position with a scar is particularly satisfying. He said to me: "This cut feels really damn good." That state is when a knowledgeable person harvests at the most satisfying moment.
The little duck was quite straightforward when closing the position: "Bro... I made just enough for a meal with this position."
I said something heartfelt to him: "There's nothing wrong with earning a living, but remember this: even if the direction is right, a small position will never yield a profit."
The most brutal place in the crypto world is right here.
It's not that you don't understand, it's that you don't dare. It's not that there are no opportunities, it's that you hesitate until the opportunity slips away.
In the same position, some people recover their losses with one order, while others can only buy a lunch box with one order. It's not the level of technical skills that matters, but the execution ability.
Scarface belongs to a cycle where the more you do, the steadier it gets; the steadier it gets, the bolder you become; the bolder you become, the more you earn. The little duck may have the right direction, but it can never take that crucial step.
That being said, it’s not all bad. Being willing to follow and daring to try is already much stronger than most retail investors in the market.
You cannot rely on Ant Warehouse to turn your life around, but you can slowly change your fate by going in the right direction.
Real meat is always waiting for you to grab it where others hesitate.

I understand this mindset of the little duck very well, but it really requires being tough once in a while.

To be honest, I am that little duck, and my trial-and-error mentality has really ruined how many opportunities for me...

To be honest, a small position really can't get you any meat, but among those who dare to go full position, eight out of ten would probably die.
