Many novice traders are eager to stay glued to their screens 24 hours a day, never leaving their phones, and are startled awake in the middle of the night by a single candlestick. If you are currently in this state, it's time to reflect.

This is often not genuine investment behavior but rather being hijacked by market sentiment. The ones who love to harvest profits the most are precisely these "can't leave the market" people. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to make poor decisions.

What is the reality? The trap-filled world of crypto assets has never been short of pitfalls. When you're inexperienced, the most dangerous thing is to go all-in right away. Use funds that won't affect your daily life even if lost entirely to practice, calmly explore the patterns, strictly follow your trading plan, avoid impulsive add-ons, and don't be swayed by market emotions—this is the smart approach.

Treat each mistake as paying tuition; in fact, this is the lowest-cost way to learn. Once you see through several rounds of market harvesting tricks, your mindset will naturally stabilize.

Another point that is easily overlooked: don't devote all your energy to the game of buying and selling for gains and losses. Opportunities in the crypto space are actually abundant—information gaps, cognitive depth, ecosystem connections—all can create real value. The sincerity of your thoughtful analysis and effective time investment will eventually be reflected by the market at some stage.

Stop obsessing over fantasies of getting rich quickly. In this market, the first skill to learn is how to survive steadily. Those who can persist long-term are the ones who will be qualified to enjoy the benefits of subsequent cycles.

I'm just this kind of person, clearly being harvested, and only now realizing it. Staring at the market late at night really messes with your mind; I've even developed anxiety about it. That's right, don't go all-in; try small bets to test the waters. Those who can't leave the market are all rookies, I said that myself. The key is still the mindset; you can't rush this. Falling into traps is just a lesson; having paid tuition, I'm much more calm now. Don't just think about ups and downs; the real opportunities are elsewhere. Staying alive is more important than anything else; the mindset of sudden wealth needs to be abandoned.

Really, staring at the screen until you develop anxiety disorder—this is just too much The ones who get cut are always those who hold their phones and can't sleep Tuition must be paid, but not all at once for a year's share --- Honestly, it’s just about not messing around; living is more important than anything --- Poor cognition is what leads to long-term gains, not staring at K-line charts --- Newbies, take some advice: the outcome of going all-in is often just going all-in and losing everything --- I've heard this a hundred times, but I still want to rush when I see a limit-up, haha --- Mostly, I just don't want to admit that I am part of the group that got cut --- The most heartbreaking part is the second half: those who truly make big money in the crypto world never rely on trading single orders --- That moment when I sat up after a single K-line late at night, I was really touched—so authentic --- Instead of studying charts, it's better to study project teams; that's where the real threshold is --- It's easier to stop dreaming of getting rich quickly, but stopping watching the market is hard—honestly

Staying up late and being startled awake by K-line charts—basically, I haven't figured out what I'm doing yet. Going all-in like this has long been played out by seasoned newcomers; beginners are the most likely to fall for it. The ones who truly make money are never those who check the market ten times a day. It's better to study the ecosystem and information gaps carefully—those are the long-term things.

From a governance perspective, this is a typical incentive incompatibility problem—the psychological game theory of retail investors conflicts fundamentally with market mechanism design. Notably, on-chain behavior data of frequent traders shows that their probability of loss is three times higher than that of long-term holders.
