I feel really lost right now—not only because I’m losing more and more, but because when I look at the people around me, it seems like they all have the ability to foresee the future. They can call both the top and the bottom. I feel like a caveman, lonely and helpless. Whatever I buy just keeps dropping—sometimes the moment I enter, I end up trapped, and the moment I stop the loss, it goes right back to my entry price.

I’ve been in this circle for 5 years. Every time I see the group’s friends talking about things like the profit-loss ratio, CPI, rate cuts and rate hikes, or which altcoin is about to go to zero, they say, “Slow is fast.” They all tell me to do long-term investing, to manage my positions well, and to wait for the next bull market—but I can’t wait. My personality is just like this: if I go get my feet washed today, then I have to add extra time; when I come back at night, I have to get my expenses reimbursed from the market. Sometimes I even wonder—could it be that in this life I’ll only be able to stop here? I’m really starting to doubt my own intelligence.

The people in the group who are born in the 90s and 00s are all at the A8 and A9 level. I truly don’t understand what’s going on in the world. Everyone else has made money and become wealthy, yet I lose money year after year.
