#比特币与黄金战争 Over the past few years in the crypto world, there have been too many liquidations, exits, and people walking away with nothing. But upon closer inspection, most people aren’t lacking in skills; they’re just repeatedly making the same three basic mistakes. Let’s sort them out today.



**First Pitfall: Getting Overexcited When Prices Rise**

Whenever the price surges, you get itchy and think "This time I can fly," but as soon as you jump in, you get crushed. When prices crash, you become timid. It’s like a gambler’s mentality—getting greedy when others are making money, but being cowardly when it’s time to buy the dip. Only those who can respond with "buy when it’s falling" as a natural instinct are truly eating the cycle’s meat.

**Second Pitfall: Going All-In at Once**

You’ve guessed the direction right, but when the big players do a quick shakeout, you’re out of the game. Those who don’t leave room for backup or diversify are doomed to only catch one wave. It’s like playing cards—going all-in at the start, only to find you have no chips when the next card comes.

**Third Pitfall: Forcing Orders to the Limit**

Full position means you lose the chance to switch coins. You’ve judged the trend correctly, but with no spare funds, you can only watch others reallocate and profit while you stand there foolishly.

Honestly, you’re not dying because of market judgment, but because of your trading habits.

**How to Break the Cycle? Here’s a simple but effective method:**

1. When sideways trading at high levels isn’t over, new highs are still ahead; at low levels, if it’s consolidating without bottoming out, the probability of further decline is high. Don’t move without clear trend reversal signals.

2. The most testing and risky phase is during consolidation. Stay calm and wait; don’t make reckless moves.

3. Follow the daily chart rhythm—consider entering when it closes bearish, and gradually exit when it closes bullish. It’s much better than guessing blindly based on feelings.

4. The speed of decline is crucial. Slow drops suggest the bottom is being hammered out, and rebounds are weak; rapid drops, on the other hand, often lead to quick recoveries. Watch the rhythm, judge the rhythm.

5. Use the pyramid method for building positions. Enter in stages, always keep some powder dry, and avoid being swept away by the market.

6. After a big move, expect volatility; after volatility, a trend reversal is inevitable. Don’t go all-in at the top, and don’t gamble everything in despair.

Honestly, the dumbest approach in crypto trading is often the most effective.

But the problem is—90% of people can’t stick with it.

Because it requires patience, endurance, and self-control. You need to stay calm when others are crazy, and act decisively when others panic. Most people see experts making money and think they’re just lucky, but in reality, they’re just applying this "dumb method" to the extreme.

There are plenty of opportunities in crypto, but what’s truly scarce are those who can survive.

That's right, but most of you can't even manage your private keys properly, so what asset allocation are you talking about? --- I've been using the pyramid building approach for three years, and now I always keep 30% USDT in cash for opportunities. --- Sideways markets test human nature the most. I stayed calm and adjusted my positions while others went all in, which is how I’ve survived until now. --- The key is to have a multi-signature wallet; otherwise, even the best strategy is useless. A contract vulnerability can wipe you out instantly. --- Are 90% of people unable to stick with it? I think 99% get wiped out by emotions, completely lacking the concept of risk management. --- A sharp decline often makes a quick rebound easier. This insight is good, and on-chain data also confirms the recent rhythm. --- Going all in with full positions is indeed a suicide mission. I always split my entries into three batches and keep some ammunition in reserve.

That's right, going all-in with a full position is suicide. I've seen too many friends lose everything in one shot.

No problem with that, I’ve stepped into all three pits... Now I finally understand why I keep losing money.

That's so true. I am the one who suffered the worst among that 90%... Going all-in with full position and getting shaken out so badly that I doubted my life.
