#数字货币市场回升 Monitoring the market for 8 years | Those moments that almost made me quit the industry $BTC $SOL $ETH
Ling Chen stared at the account number to zero, and his hands were shaking. This is my third time out of liquidation. In retrospect, my chest would suddenly tighten.
When I first entered the crypto space, who didn't think they were the chosen one? I saved up 20,000 U and dared to go all in on a scam coin. During the day, I was so excited seeing others' screenshots of becoming rich that I couldn't sleep, and at night I couldn't sleep even more from being hit by the market crash. The first liquidation came unexpectedly - my stop-loss line had long been reached, yet I was still self-hypnotizing, thinking "it will bounce back soon." In the end, I could only watch my position get forcibly liquidated, sitting in my tiny rented room, gnawing on cold bread, with tears falling into the bread crumbs.
After that, I started to grind on the technical aspects. I stayed up until the early hours of the morning studying candlestick charts, taking meticulous notes, thinking that mastering support and resistance levels would guarantee my success. But what happened? I fell into the pit of human nature again.
Once, BTC had a floating profit of three thousand dollars, and my friend advised me to take the profit. I stubbornly refused to listen. I leveraged my position, thinking "I'll just take one last gamble and then stop"—how many times have I said that? The market suddenly reversed, not only did I lose all my profits, but I also lost five thousand. That night, I uninstalled all the apps and vowed never to touch the crypto space again. But after two days of calm, I couldn't accept it: if others can make money, why can't I?
The most tormenting days were those spent exploring alone. When the market fluctuated wildly, there was no one to consult; after losing money, I didn't dare to tell my family and could only collapse under the covers, then get up the next day and force myself to keep studying the charts. There was a period where I couldn't sleep for a week straight, and my health check report was filled with red flags, with the doctor warning that my body was about to break down. It was at that moment that I suddenly realized: the crypto world is not a place for relentless struggle; surviving is the only way to have a chance to turn things around.
Now I can finally make a stable profit. Looking back at those nights of liquidation and the tangled decisions, it wasn't the market targeting me; it was clearly punishing my greed, luck, and obsession.
Every time I see newcomers frantically chasing prices up and down, it's like seeing my former self. I especially want to say: Don't rush, take your time. This market doesn't have a shortcut to success; you have to endure the trials of human nature and withstand market fluctuations to wait for your opportunity.
Have you ever experienced a moment of "I can't hold on any longer"? How did you get through it later? Let's talk in the comments...
Honestly, there are no real secrets—just don't fantasize when it's time to cut losses, and don't force yourself when you need to take a break. Human nature is the biggest enemy.
Whenever I see newcomers all-in on altcoins, I want to stop them, but I guess everyone has to pay some tuition to wake up.
The hardest part isn't losing money; it's having to keep studying the market after you've lost everything. That's real torture.
Let me ask you seriously, do you still use leverage now? Or have you quit completely?
That line about breaking down under the covers and then forcing yourself to push through the next day really hit me. Those days were truly tough.
It's great if you can make money steadily now, but it feels like your mindset is worth more than your principal. So many times before, I've lost everything because of greed.
---
Surviving three Get Liquidated incidents and still posting, brother, your mindset is really strong.
---
"If others can earn, why can't I?" I must have said this at least a hundred times last year, and now it feels super awkward to think about.
---
The part about insomnia for a week and then a bunch of red marks on the health check, I was wondering if this is still making money, it's really costing my life.
---
That last sentence should be stuck in every newbie's mind, the market that drags its feet is the market that makes money.
---
After reading, I just have one feeling—this crypto world thing, it's not something you can win just by working hard, you have to survive.
---
I also went through that technical analysis phase, drawing lines every day, and in the end, the market taught me a lesson, it was a mess.
The history of BTC has only experienced 4 consecutive months of fall after a rise.
And it only happened in 2018.
Now it has been two consecutive months of plummet.
From the perspective of searching for a sword on a boat, at least it has only fallen this month.
The dawn light is in front of us！！！！
---
Actually, the hardest part isn't the technique, it's resisting the urge to add leverage at that moment.
---
Eight years, how many times must I experience a mental breakdown to remain calm?
---
I'm still cycling through the phrase "last gamble," feeling like I'm suffering from an incurable condition.
---
Surviving is the only chance for a comeback; I need to get this tattooed on me.
---
A week of insomnia and my health report is all in red, it's too real, brother. How are things now?
---
Seeing newcomers chase the price and sell with bearish market reminds me of my past self eating cold bread. It hurts.
---
Don't rush, take it slow. It's easy to say, but how many can actually do it?
---
The pitfalls of human nature are harder to fill than technical analysis; this time I finally understand.
---
Damn, I really can't hold back during this part "tears fall into the breadcrumbs".
---
It's easy to say, but isn't it only when the market rises that we realize? When it falls, who isn't frantically leveraging?
---
The scariest part is that phrase "it will pump back soon", I've said this thousands of times.
---
The health report full of red words hit hard, brothers still doing this really need to reflect.
---
To earn steadily, it's really about doing less. Anyone can say this but few can actually do it.
---
After eight years of watching the market, I've reached a different level of understanding, but the cost is a bit high.
