There was a moment when I suddenly understood. At that time, I was looking at Bitcoin's candlestick chart, and a thought flashed through my mind — I am truly different from my past self.
Looking back, I had read a bunch of books and learned various trading methods. No matter how full the theories were, my account was still bleeding. Knowing is one thing, doing is another, and in between is a gap. Those self-proclaimed wise judgments are actually just struggling against the market.
Until a certain moment, my mind suddenly cleared. Only then did I realize that the essence of the market is impermanence, and Bitcoin's movements are even more impermanent within impermanence. The more you try to predict, the more you get slapped in the face. Those persistent judgments? They are actually just obsessions.
What is the real skill to learn? It is to do less. Follow the rhythm of the market, admit your ignorance, and accept the uncertainty of the outcome. Not passive avoidance, but actively letting go after understanding the overall trend.
In observing the crypto market, you will find that the hardest lesson for traders to master is not technology, not capital management, but letting go. Let go of the desire to control everything, let go of the obsession to predict correctly. Follow the natural order, accept the cycle of cause and effect, only then can you truly understand — I am who I am.

Exactly right, that's the point. I used to be a full-position prediction fanatic, and as a result, I got slapped in the face so hard I doubted my life. Now I've learned to keep quiet and follow the trades, and my account has actually recovered. Letting go of obsession is truly the final cultivation.

Really, after all this fuss, I realize that not fussing is the true way—this is what growth is all about.

Well said, I'm in this state right now... I used to study indicators desperately, but I still got proven wrong. Now I'm just lying back and watching the market play itself.

This chicken soup is a bit too intense... It's easy to say, but when the account shrinks, you still have to take a hit.

Really speaking, this wave of realization is on point. Compared to those who are still frantically looking at charts, the ones who are truly making money are the ones who know when to stay silent.
