Most people in the crypto world are ultimately being driven by their emotions. If you can stay rational, this place can become your money-printing machine.



It's been six years. I've been navigating the crypto space for nearly six years. Every time I think back to those first three years, I still feel a twinge of sourness—my 300,000 yuan principal was almost wiped out, and I was left with only 5,000 yuan in my account. Liquidations, doubts from family, and a sense of helplessness—these were the "tuition fees" I paid.

It was those failures that pushed me to the edge of the cliff, but they also helped me see some things clearly. Since then, for six consecutive years, I've been making money every year.

I want to share what I’ve learned over these years; maybe it will help those of you still trying to find your direction in the crypto world.

**From "Chasing Indicators" to "Tracking Emotions"**

When I first entered the scene, I thought the secret to making money was studying more complex technical indicators and mastering so-called insider information. I tried all kinds of flashy trading methods, staying up late to monitor the charts—what was the result? One liquidation after another.

The turning point came from an old friend from Jiangmen. He used 100,000 yuan to leverage a nine-figure asset. He simply said one sentence that woke me up: "99% of people in the market are driven by emotions. Whoever can control their emotions wins."

That made me realize things. I started doing less—discarding those complicated setups and focusing only on what’s useful.

**The Acceleration of Growth**

What happened next was quite interesting. The first 10 million yuan took a year and a half. The second 10 million? Done in three months. The third 10 million? In 40 days. The fourth 10 million? Just five days.

It sounds like a fairy tale, but it’s the truth. 75% of my total assets were accumulated in just half a year. It’s not because I have insider information or luck. Simply put, I finally found the market’s pulse—that those who truly determine the price movements are not the numbers on the candlestick charts, but the collective psychology of traders.

Once I understood this logic, everything became simpler.

This is the truth of the crypto world, but no matter how eloquently it's said, it's still a game of probabilities.

I've seen too many stories of making tens of millions in a month... but admit it, just surviving already means you've won more than most.

Losing 300,000 to 5,000 really broke me; this is the most valuable lesson the crypto world has taught me.

Emotional control? Easier said than done... When prices drop 50%, everyone is rational.

Basically, it's just a gambling mentality. I've heard this theory too many times.

Human nature is not that easy to control. I think 99% of people who say this haven't even made it to the second year.

Make 10 million in 5 days? Haha, why not say lose 10 million in 5 days?

I believe the part where you lost 300,000 earlier, but I really can't believe the later numbers.

These kinds of posts usually end with "I'm now leading people to trade cryptocurrencies."

If you control your emotions well, you can print money? Then why is Buffett still earning slowly?

Five days to earn 10 million? Bro, this story is way too smooth, I just can't believe it.

Emotion control is definitely the key, but only a few actually manage to do it... Most people are still bouncing back and forth between FOMO and FUD.

---

Losing 300,000 to 5,000—that's true growth. The numbers afterward don't feel as heartbreaking.

---

Tracking emotions is a valid approach, but the questions are how and when to do it... the details.

---

Another story of climbing out of hell, the routines are pretty much the same, but some people really do make money.

---

Understanding market pulse sounds easy, but the psychological preparation needed in actual operation is more challenging than 99% of people imagine.

---

Psychological game theory is indeed important, but most people are still studying MACD, their vision is way too narrow.

300,000 lost down to 5,000, and still managed to bounce back. How tough must that mentality be... But listen, this is a classic survivor bias narrative, right?

---

Making 10 million in five days? Wake up, everyone. This story is way too smooth; reality isn't that sweet.

---

Exactly, controlling emotions is indeed the key, but it feels like a lot of luck factors are omitted here.

---

Printing money machine... Haha, the printing machine in the crypto world is just retail accounts.

---

From a facade to mind reading, that transformation sounds good, but why does it all seem like nonsense when I repeat it?

This explanation sounds a bit familiar... Everyone who makes money says it's about controlling emotions, but what about those who lose money? Is it also about emotions?

Wait, earning 10 million in five days? That number is indeed pretty crazy haha

Another "I get it" story, but it seems like there's no real problem with it

Losing 300,000 down to 5,000 is really a slap in the face, but the logic of turning things around later sounds reliable

What does nine figures mean, starting from a billion? This guy is impressive

I need to remember the phrase "control your emotions," it's much more reliable than any moving average golden cross

Getting 10 million in five days, I have to challenge my endurance level

Sounds very inspiring, but earning 10 million in five days? I still can't help but laugh, buddy.
