$BTC In this bear market, many people lost money not because they judged the direction wrong.

But because they mistook consolidation for a reversal and a rebound for a bull market.

What the market loves most is giving you hope when you're about to despair, and slapping you in the face when you reignite that hope.

Many newcomers to the market always think experts are great at predictions.

In reality, those who have been through several bull and bear cycles know that the real money isn't made by the best predictors, but by those who survive the longest.

In 2018, some thought BTC had bottomed out at 6000.

But it dropped to 3000.

In 2022, some thought LUNA wouldn't go to zero.

But it went to zero in three days.

In 2025, some thought that after the ETF approval, prices would only go up, not down.

But it still crashed so hard it made people question their existence.

That's the beauty of cycles.

They constantly reward those who respect trends and eliminate those who trust only themselves.

One of retail investors' favorite sayings:

"Just hold a little longer, and you'll break even."

Then they go from a 10% unrealized loss to a 50% one.

And then they start studying faith.

The most expensive thing in the market isn't the fees.

It's illusion.

Every truly mature trader does the same thing:

Follow the trend when it's rising.

Control risk when it's falling.

Reduce positions when they don't understand.

Because they know there will always be another opportunity.

If you lose your principal, there's no next time.

After BTC recently broke below 60k, market sentiment clearly turned sour.

Many started to question whether the bull market was over.

But in my view, whether it's a bull or bear market isn't important.

What matters is whether you have the ability to survive until the next trend truly arrives.

Cycles never disappear.

Only accounts do.
