The most addictive thing in the crypto circle has never been making money. It's that feeling.

When your account goes from 3000U to 5000U, you get very excited. When it goes from 5000U to 10000U, you start fantasizing about the future.
But when the account gets bigger and bigger, you find that your moments of happiness get shorter and shorter. When you win, you feel it's deserved; when you lose, you remember it for a long time.
A few years ago, the first thing I did every day after waking up was check the market. I watched the charts while eating, before sleeping, and even when waking up in the middle of the night. I always felt that missing one minute meant missing an opportunity.
Later I realized that what I really missed was not opportunities. It was life.
When the market is good, I feel invincible. After a round of pullback, I start doubting my own judgment.
Reluctant to sell when it's rising, reluctant to admit mistakes when it's falling. People swing back and forth between greed and fear.
Many people think that trading is a game against the market. In fact, more often than not, it's a game against yourself.
Over the years, I've come to believe more and more in one saying:
Making money depends on knowledge, keeping money depends on mentality.
The numbers in your account matter, but being able to sleep soundly matters more.
Some opportunities can be waited for again if missed, but if you lose your rhythm, it often takes a long time to find it back.
The market will always be there. You don't have to turn yourself into a 24-hour candlestick watcher just to make more money.
