Let me tell you a hard truth today. Many fans have been DMing me: "Bro, why are those people on the Square always making a killing going long? I follow them but just keep losing more and more? Am I also suffering from 'envy eyes'?"



Seeing others post their gains, that burning jealousy flares up inside you, so you quickly check your own account, only to find it’s still stuck in neutral. Then you panic—chasing pumps, going all in, cranking up the leverage, desperate to claw back a whole year’s worth of someone else’s profit in one trade. And what happens? They’re still happily posting their wins, while your account is about to get wiped out.

The problem isn’t that you have no opportunities—it’s that you’re always picking up what others leave behind.
He goes long and makes money, so you eagerly follow him in, but he’s just about to dump and run.

He shorts and eats, so you quickly jump in, but he immediately reverses and starts pumping.
You’re always chasing, always catching the falling knife, always half a step behind.
I had a buddy who used to be just like that—watching the group chat every day to see who doubled up, then jumping in. Three months, two liquidations. Later I told him to do one thing: leave all the groups.

Stop watching how much others make, only focus on your own charts and rules. Two months later, his account actually started turning green. He said, “Turns out, when I stop looking at others, I can actually calm down and trade properly.”

Stop drooling over the meat in someone else’s bowl. What you should do is get your own pot hot. Those who make money aren’t gods—they stick to their own pace, stay calm, don’t rush, and don’t follow the crowd.
#BTC下探60000美元关键关口
Pull your focus back, and control those itchy hands that want to jump in everywhere. Wait like crazy when you need to wait, and act decisively when it’s time to go. You’ll find that those opportunities that once made you green with envy, you can also snatch up steadily yourself.

$LAB The community really should have less showing-off culture and more substantive discussions, otherwise newcomers will be led astray.

That’s so true—slow is fast. Last year I held on and didn’t follow signals/copy trades. Although I missed a few moves, I avoided a drawdown of the level of 312, and in the end it worked out so that I made money instead.

Quitting the group is a brutal move, but it works. I tried turning off all notifications, and it really reduced a lot of anxiety.

At the BTC 60000 level, both chasing long and chasing short can easily get you killed. Controlling your hands is stronger than anything.

I used to stare at other people's profit screenshots every day and lose sleep over them. Later I realized — those images are all Photoshopped, or they only show the wins.
