The dumbest way to trade is often the most effective, but 90% of people die halfway. $ETH


I’ve been bullish in the crypto market for so long; the real ones who get liquidated and exit usually aren’t stupid, and they’re not without brains—it's that they’re too impatient, too greedy, and too emotional, and they literally grind themselves to death.
The three most common ways retail investors die are: $BTC
First, chase when it goes up.
Once the candlestick pumps, FOMO takes over your head, you rush in and shout, “This wave is going to fly.”
What happens then? The main players just give it a light shake—you get buried instantly. $LAB
The real time to buy is when everyone is cursing, the price is at the floor, and panic selling is everywhere—those who dare to act then are the ones who ultimately take the meat.
Second, hold with a heavy position until death.
You see the direction correctly and go All in, thinking “faith” will win.
The main players just wash the price a couple times, and you’re immediately liquidated and carried away.
No matter how good the logic is, once you go in heavy and go head-to-head, you can’t survive the volatility. Emotion replaces discipline, and sooner or later the market will educate you.
Third, go all-in when emotions run hot.
Treat trading like your life is on the line, and treat volatility like your belief.
Even if you guess the direction correctly, it’s still useless—if you have no ammo to rebalance, big opportunities afterward can only leave you staring as others eat the meat.
Many people lose money over and over, not because the market is wrong, but because they keep fighting the market with emotions.
What I’ve summed up after stepping in so many traps over the years is basically just a few plain truths— the simpler, the more effective:
• High-level consolidation hasn’t finished yet, a new high is likely still ahead; if the low-range sideways hasn’t hit bottom, don’t rush to bottom-fish.
• Don’t move around before a trend change; the more you can endure, the more likely you are to survive to the next wave.
• During a sideways and oscillating period, absolutely don’t take action. How many people get ground to death by the chop—patience and position size.
• Buy when the daily candle closes bearish, sell when it closes bullish. Following emotions is more reliable than guessing tops and bottoms yourself.
• If it falls slowly, the rebound is also weak; if it falls hard, it’s easier to get a violent rally. Don’t just look at the price—look at “how it falls.”
• Build your position like a pyramid: enter in batches, exit in batches, and always keep some ammo.
The real essence is only two points: simple +坚持.
The dumbest method (discipline, position control, operating against emotions) is often the one that makes you last the longest.
If you’re still chasing pumps and selling dumps, or you don’t know how to judge entry and exit points, come and talk to me.

I need to copy this line about consolidating at high levels: Too many people see a sideways market and think it’s going to drop—then they get thrown off the train.

This pyramid-building approach is really explained thoroughly. I previously went all-in—full position—on ETH, and on that day, around 312, it went straight to zero. Now I only dare to play in batches.

Saying it’s easy to do is one thing, but doing it is hard. When the daily chart closes with a bearish candle, do you dare to buy? Everyone in the group is shouting for it to go to zero—your hands don’t listen to your brain.

These four words—“emotional reversal”—are worth their weight in gold, but 90% of people, including me, act first when emotions strike, and only then does the brain catch up.

Yes, FOMO is definitely the biggest killer of retail traders. Last year, I chased a low-liquidity altcoin at its peak, and I’m still stationed at the top of the mountain.
