Do you think making money in the crypto world relies on technical indicators, news channels, or a bit of luck?

If that were true, this market would have been filled with winners long ago.
The reality is quite the opposite—
Only one type of person can survive long-term in this market and truly make big money.
It's not those who have never lost,
but those who have been repeatedly crushed by the market, wiped out by margin calls, or even come close to quitting, yet can still get back up.
Those who haven't experienced a margin call are essentially beginners.
You don't understand the feeling of going from a million in profit on paper to zero overnight;
you don't know what it means—
a building constructed over years, collapsing in just a few seconds.
In this market, capital is the lifeline.
Once broken, no technique, judgment, or belief can save you.
Why do the vast majority end up as “chives”?
Not because they are not smart,
but because they have no control over themselves.
Buying a pair of shoes, you compare prices and hesitate repeatedly;
but the next trade command often takes only three seconds.
A profit of a thousand, emotions remain calm;
a loss of a thousand, feels like a knife stabbing.
So the more you lose, the more anxious you become; the more anxious, the more chaotic;
frequent trading, constant correction,
ultimately, just the fees alone can consume all your capital within a year.
It's not the market killing you,
but your own emotional outbursts pushing you into the abyss again and again.
How do the truly surviving “tough guys” do it?
They think through three things before entering:
How much can this trade at most earn,
at what point must they cut losses unconditionally,
and at what profit stage should they start taking profits in batches.
They never go all-in,
they won't risk their face or their judgment to hold on stubbornly.
Because they know—
in the crypto world, staying alive is far more important than proving oneself.
They understand that this market isn't a daily-open cafeteria,
but a hunting ground where “three years of no trading, then trading for three years” applies.
Missing a wave of market movement is no big deal,
but one undisciplined move could mean permanent exit.
Ultimately, the thinking structure of top players is on a completely different level from yours.
You hold a ten-thousand-dollar capital,
losing sleep, feeling anxious, constantly watching the charts for a few hundred dollars of fluctuation;
while they think about managing millions in positions,
at this scale,
a million in floating loss is just a natural fluctuation in the account’s breathing.
If there is a trend, hold patiently;
if there’s no opportunity, prefer to stay on the sidelines.
They can endure,
but most people cannot.
Remember one thing:
the market never eliminates those with insufficient skills,
it only eliminates those whose mentality collapses first.
The choice you need to make is actually very simple—
Are you going to be the one who completely exits after a margin call and never comes back;
or the one who has been drained by the market but can still rise again in the next cycle?
The power of choice has always been in your hands.
