Honestly, the crypto world is very pragmatic. It doesn't care about sentiment or your background; it only looks at whether you can read the situation and stick to discipline.



I've seen many stark contrasts. At the same age in their twenties, some are still carefully budgeting for rent and living expenses, while others have already paid off their house down payment and have their car parked steadily downstairs. This kind of gap seems worlds apart, but in reality, it's often not about who is smarter or more hardworking, but who made the right choices earlier—who stood in the right position sooner.

What is truly scarce in the crypto world is never the luck of getting rich overnight. What is scarce? It’s giving ordinary people a chance—participating with small funds, leaving room for trial and error. In this field, relying on rhythm, discipline, and patience, one can gradually realize the value of their time in advance. This is the game with the lowest threshold but the greatest test of character.

But the cruelty here is also real. Those impulsively heavily investing or relying on gambling profits often run the fastest and fall the hardest. Every market cycle will eliminate a group of such people. They think they are fighting, but in fact, they are gambling. And the outcome of the gamble has long been written in probability.

I have always maintained one view: the market does not reward the most aggressive; it only rewards those who survive. When the trend arrives, the turning point has already been decided—you are either the type who has done their homework and taken action in line with the trend, or the type who can only stand by and watch helplessly. This is the real rule of the crypto world.

ngl, most people talking about "discipline" are just coping bc they missed the move... the real winners aren't preaching, they're already in their next position

Standing in the right position can indeed change your life trajectory, but most people don't even get the chance to choose. --- The difference between gambling and fighting lies here; unfortunately, many people can't tell the difference. --- That's right, surviving is the first lesson, making money is actually the second lesson. --- The problem is that most people simply can't wait for that "right time." --- Discipline sounds simple, but sticking to it is another matter altogether. --- Whenever the market arrives, you can truly see who has prepared and who is just gambling on luck. --- The most heartbreaking realization is that you've actually been standing in the wrong position all along. --- Trying with small funds sounds great, but there are many who don't even have the courage to try and fail.

They say winners are those who plan ahead, but I realize... most people just lack patience. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so greedy. Discipline is truly the most valuable thing.

In simple terms, this is an incentive compatibility issue. Early entrants are not necessarily smart; they just seized the window of opportunity created by the mechanism design. Those gamblers who fall quickly essentially do so because they didn't understand the governance logic of this game—the rules have been fixed from the start, and everyone is equal in the face of probability.

Early positioning is really the key; everything else is just superficial. --- I've seen too many people gamble with red eyes, ending up with not a single penny left. --- Discipline is something that's easy to talk about but hard to stick to. --- Standing in the right position is indeed more important than anything else; basically, that's it. --- Surviving is the real winner; this phrase may be annoying, but it's truly accurate. --- I agree that small funds have more room for trial and error; it's much better than going all in. --- The difference between gambling and betting, 99% of people can't tell the difference at all. --- The gap between peers is so big; it's really just about whether you chose the right timing. --- The market filters people every cycle; being able to survive and see the next cycle is already a success. --- Doing homework is truly a fundamental skill; those too lazy to do it deserve to regret it. --- Pacing is the top priority; a poor mindset can ruin everything. --- Making money with patience is a solid logic; the key is that most people can't hold on.

That was harsh, but it really hit the point. However, I think the cruelest part is that there are a lot of people who understand these principles, but only a rare few can truly stick to discipline.

Really, those who enter early make money early, and those who come late can only watch the show.
