Over the years of navigating the crypto market, I have gradually understood a principle:

You might think that quick operations, frequent trading, and constantly following the trend are progress—actually, they are more often anxiety. What truly drives account growth is often your decision to do nothing at the right moments.

Seemingly spectacular swing trading and daily monitoring strategies, in the end, result in real profits for very few. Instead, those with patience—holding good projects, waiting for market cycles, and dollar-cost averaging without wavering—are the true winners.

Interesting results are never achieved through noise. They accumulate quietly, and one day when you look back, you'll realize your account has multiplied several times.

That's so true. I'm the kind of person who checks the market every day and ends up losing the most. Now I'm so regretful that I feel sick. Doing nothing is the strongest move. I've doubled my holdings by relying on this. Daily trading before was really just self-soothing. Anxious trading is the most expensive. This hits right at my core. Only after losing money do I understand. Those who坚持持币 (stick to holding coins) ultimately become rich. I'm starting to learn to close my eyes now. Making money has never been about frequent trading. The key is the discipline of dollar-cost averaging. Trade less, watch fewer K-lines, and your account will grow faster. I've realized this.

To be honest, I used to be the kind of person who watched the market every day, but as a result, my account actually shrank. You're absolutely right, doing nothing is the hardest lesson. The biggest gains in these two years actually came from those coins I almost sold. Frequent trading really is just consuming oneself. I don't even look at candlestick charts anymore. Dollar-cost averaging, only now do I understand what compound interest really means. Previously, the trading fees alone could have bought a few good projects. I can't resist my nature; I know the principles, but it's still easy to get itchy fingers when it comes to action.

Frequent trading is just giving money to the market manipulators, I've seen through it long ago... On-chain large transfer data shows that those intraday swing retail funds ultimately flow into just a few whale addresses. Coincidence? Impossible. The real winners have long been lurking.

It's true. I am the kind of person who gets cut the most every day while watching the market, and only now do I realize the paradox that you can only make money when you're not busy. That's right, the three years of dollar-cost averaging indeed had a more satisfying rise, much better than chasing and selling every day back then. Anxiety is just causing trouble; the final winners are always those who pretend to be dead. Hold onto good coins and never let go, and the results will really change. Frequent trading = working for the exchange; I've fallen into this trap too many times. The most valuable is to do nothing because it's the hardest. Most people simply can't do it. Account doubling is always silent; on the other hand, those who claim to get rich every day are all scammers.

Got it, it's the same old tune... But honestly, lying back and winning is definitely much more comfortable than watching the market every day. --- Holding steady and earning? Then what have I been doing all these years? --- I agree wholeheartedly. The problem is, as soon as I get into the group chat, I can't help but want to make a move. --- The harshest part isn't holding on, but rather not being able to identify which project is worth holding onto. --- I've heard this before, but I just can't do it; my mindset explodes. --- Damn, it turns out my problem is anxiety... I thought I was smart. --- Dollar-cost averaging is indeed great, but unfortunately, I always catch a 50% drop each time I invest.

Exactly right, that's what I'm doing now—buying less and holding more. Only with a calm mindset can the account grow.

Damn, this is exactly about me... Watching the market every day, but my account actually shrinks instead It's politely called "swing trading," but honestly, it's just anxiety that keeps me awake at night Really, the gains from sitting still for a year can't compare to the losses I rack up in a month of reckless trading The dollar-cost averaging folks will laugh last, while we impatient day traders can only stare at their accounts rising The key is, stopping is really hard... How can I possibly just sit idle?
