Don't remind me again today

Last week, one of my students who had been with me for more than half a year came to me with her phone to check the Transaction History. When I took a look, I was completely stunned—400,000 in principal now only had less than 40,000 in the account, and even the money promised for the gold bracelet for her mom was lost. I was speechless at that moment 😂



"You asked me to try a small amount at first, and if I had listened, it wouldn't have turned out like this!" Her voice was trembling. I rolled my eyes, feeling a mix of emotions. Six months ago, I clearly told her: "Start with 80,000 to get a feel for it, don't rush, take your time to familiarize yourself before gradually increasing it." And what happened? This girl banged the table and said my "thinking is outdated," and she threw out a sentence that left a deep impression on me: "If an opportunity comes and you don't go for it, the pain of missing out is a hundred times stronger than being stuck!"

Looking back now, it's almost a textbook case of a novice blowing up. During that time, the community was filled with voices of "thousand times opportunity" and "you'll regret it if you don't get on board". Everyone in the group was sharing profit screenshots, and she got completely carried away. Not only did she go all-in with all her funds, but she also impulsively opened leverage. As a result, the market corrected, and it woke her up immediately.

I have been struggling in this industry for eight years, and I've seen too many scripts like this! Today, I must say something heartfelt to the new friends entering the market: the crypto market never sleeps, it operates twenty-four hours a day, and the liquidity pool is deeper than you can imagine.

What position do we retail investors have? To put it bluntly, it's like a drop of water in the ocean. Do you really think that "buying makes it drop and selling makes it rise" is being targeted by someone? In fact, it's that you take your own operations too seriously, ignoring that the market itself fluctuates like the waves of the sea—put simply, it's...

That's why I never follow the trend; stability is the key.

Haha, this is why I never listen to newbies' "theory of opportunities"... I can't stand this kind of operation driven by fear of missing out (FOMO).

Damn, this is why I never follow the trend, it annoys me to see those guys in Full Position with leverage. People, when they're greedy, their brains just go haywire and they can't hear a word. Leverage is really poison, a pullback and they just close all positions.

This is why I never follow the trend, going all-in with leverage is really a suicidal move. The weakness of human nature, when FOMO comes, the brain just doesn't work well. Those who don't listen to advice will have to pay tuition fees, it's just how it is.
