Today, Sister Li is here to chat with everyone about the mindset in the crypto space:

The root cause of your continuous losses and missing big moves in crypto is never about not understanding candlestick charts or failing to catch highs and lows, but rather your frantic search for a certainty that doesn't exist.

Have you ever felt this suffocating sensation? You see it clearly—Bitcoin is about to rally, altcoins are about to pump. Entry points, take-profit and stop-loss levels, position sizing—everything is perfectly mapped out in your mind. Yet your finger hovers over the buy button, and you just can't click it. Or when you're trapped in a position, you know damn well you should cut losses, you're fully aware that holding will only lead to a deeper drawdown and eventual zero, but you still hesitate to act, watching your assets shrink continuously. That helpless feeling is truly agonizing.

Everyone knows what they should do, yet they dare not act. The core issue is just one: your obsession with certainty.

You don't want to avoid opening a trade or setting a stop-loss. What you want is not "trying to trade"—you want that as soon as you enter, the price will definitely pump and you'll profit; as soon as you buy the dip, there will be absolutely zero wick or crash. You want a 100% guaranteed win, a replication of every previous perfect take-profit scenario. Like your daily commute—once you step onto the subway, you're guaranteed to get home, zero accidents, zero risk, no need to bear any loss.

Humans are born craving certainty, rooted deep in our primitive genes. Our ancient ancestors, facing unknown risks, one wrong step could mean being devoured by a beast. If they saw animal footprints on the only way home, they would decisively take a detour, even if it meant sleeping in the wilderness, rather than gamble on any danger. This instinct to avoid the unknown allowed humanity to survive and thrive, and it's deeply embedded in our subconscious—psychologists call it "uncertainty avoidance."

Fast forward to today, there are no deadly beasts in reality, but that ingrained fear never disappeared:
People firmly believe that finishing school guarantees a high salary, that getting married and having kids ensures stability and happiness. Even if reality doesn't always match up, they still cling tightly to that false certainty. In crypto, this is magnified to the extreme—we resist wicks, pullbacks, sideways grinding. We fear that once we open a trade, the price will reverse and crash. This resistance is essentially the same as our primitive ancestors' fear of black bear attacks.

But the brutal truth is right in front of everyone in crypto: the crypto market has never had absolute certainty.
No candlestick indicator, news event, or insider tip can guarantee 100% profit. A bull market will have violent pullbacks and washouts, a bear market can suddenly rally, a leveraged position can get liquidated instantly on a wick, an altcoin can have good news that drives the price up on open only to fall right after. The stable profit scenario you desperately seek has always been nothing but an illusion.

But don't despair either. Even though the market is full of unknowns, we can still accumulate long-term profits through trading.
The only solution: let go of your obsession with certainty and actively embrace the volatile trading process.
Trading in crypto itself is a game of countless trial and error. Don't fixate on every single trade being profitable. Start with small positions to test, exit quickly when wrong, add to winning trades when right. Refine your trading system through repeated entries, stop-losses, and reviews. Continuously adjust position sizing, risk management, and entry logic. Iterate and experiment. Don't be afraid of occasional losses.

The market won't always move in your favor, but if you consistently stick to a standardized trading process—controlling losses while letting profits run—sooner or later your own 10x trades will come.
Stop waiting for 100% certainty before you act. Those who make big money in crypto are the ones who accept uncertainty and dare to execute their plans amidst the unknown.
