People often tell you that ZEC will fall, and Ethereum will go down. It sounds somewhat reasonable, but you just don't dare to short because you simply can't grasp the underlying logic.

Even if you force yourself to trade, what’s the result? You’re anxious all day, afraid that the price will suddenly surge, and you’re half-believing and half-doubting others’ opinions. How can you dare to make money like this?

The real problem is simple — what you lack is not opportunity, but genuine understanding. Only through self-education and continuous refinement of your knowledge, understanding the logic behind price fluctuations, and figuring out the driving forces behind the market, can you truly dare to short and earn money with a stable mindset.

This is the cruelest truth of the market: people can never earn beyond their level of understanding.

ZEC-2%

ETH-1,01%

Listen, listen, this statement is not wrong, but is there really anyone who can fully understand the logic of coin prices? I'm the kind of person who hears that ZEC will fall, then just watches blankly. If I can't earn outside-of-knowledge money like this, fine, then I'll just continue to lose within my understanding. Actually, instead of studying market driving forces every day, it's better to accept it early. This set of theories every day, listening to it until my ears are calloused. I really don't understand how it's so hard to make money. Knowledge is indeed valuable, but only if you have the time to refine it. Forget it, shorting is too scary, let's just keep buying the dip. Another warning that "what you lack is knowledge," but what I actually lack is capital. This logic is like saying, as long as I understand it, I can make money, but the problem is I simply can't understand it.

Basically, it's because they haven't suffered any losses before and still dare to follow the trend to short. If you just follow others' advice to short when they say ZEC will fall, isn't that gambling? You need to understand it thoroughly yourself, otherwise your mindset will collapse early. Cognition really trips up too many people.

Listening to the wind is just rain, believing what people say is empty and following the empty? How is this any different from auditing a contract code you haven't read, it's all a gamble with your life.

Exactly right, blindly following the trend to short is really asking for trouble. I used to follow the hype blindly too, but after getting liquidated once, I learned my lesson.

That really hits home. Just blindly shorting based on news without understanding the data, and your mindset collapses first. That's how bears get trapped.

Exactly right. I'm the one who gets nervous when I hear about shorting. I just lack confidence. If you don't understand, don't operate blindly. That's a lesson.
