I've just realized something very important when following the crypto market over the years. There are five of these in Buddhism called greed, anger, ignorance, delusion, and doubt, and they are the very things that destroy most people's accounts during a bull market.
The first is doubt. I see many people entering the market but always feeling anxious and indecisive. When prices go up a little, they fear missing out, but after buying, they worry again. They fluctuate based on emotions, with no plan at all.
Then there's greed. When the market is good, everyone wants to eat everything, afraid of missing any opportunity. They keep increasing their positions, adding more without stop-losses. Only when the market turns around do they regret it, but by then, it's too late.
The third is arrogance. I meet many friends who make a few thousand dollars and start to look down on others, telling friends that they are smarter than analysts. This mindset is very dangerous because it causes you to ignore reasonable warnings.
The early and middle stages of a bull market are when anger causes the most damage. When experiencing a few losses, people become angry, curse analysts, and start panic selling. That is the biggest mistake. If you can't control these emotions, you'll be eliminated from the game too soon.
Finally, there's ignorance, meaning not learning. I often see crypto traders who never read whitepapers, don't understand the technology, and just follow rumors blindly. When the market turns bad, they don't know why they are losing, only blaming the market.
In fact, understanding what greed, anger, ignorance, delusion, and doubt are and how they influence your decisions is the first step to surviving long-term in this market. Not everyone can overcome these five, but those who do will be the last ones standing when the bull market ends.
