A trader’s biggest fatal flaw: panicking as soon as they open a position, failing to hold onto profits, and stubbornly holding onto losses
After trading for so long, what truly defeats 90% of retail traders has never been the market—it’s human nature.
Almost all of us are prone to two fatal flaws:
We can’t hold onto profits, and we stubbornly hold onto losing positions.
Many people aren’t bad at reading the market or analyzing support and resistance.
Instead, their mindset falls apart as soon as they open a position.
1. Why do you get nervous as soon as you open a position?

🌐 When payments are truly integrated into digital life, perhaps payments themselves will no longer need to be noticed.
Today, making a payment often means considering wallets, platforms, currencies, networks, fees, and settlement methods.
But digital life in the future may be much simpler.
Choose a service, confirm a transaction, and value is exchanged.
As naturally as sending a message.
🌍 As the global digital economy continues to grow, people will increasingly work, shop, create, provide services, and participate in communities across borders.

The coin price went up—did I outperform?
When reviewing my spot trades, I look at how much I earned, but I also ask: How did my chosen benchmark perform over the same period?
For example, suppose a coin I’m watching rises 10%, while Bitcoin rises 20% over the same period. In dollar terms, it went up; relative to Bitcoin, though, it actually underperformed. Its price ratio fell by about 8.3%.
This doesn’t mean every trade has to outperform Bitcoin. It reminds me to decide what I’m comparing against before reviewing my trades. I shouldn’t measure against the dollar when I’m making money, then sw

This round of positioning has ended perfectly. Since the 20th, I’ve been posting detailed updates telling everyone to hold long-term shorts on BTC at 84700 and ETH at 2510, and gave an exact timeline: by month-end, ETH would reach 2200 and BTC would be around 76666. Along the way, I bought the dip near 80k on BTC and 2330 on ETH. Then, at 79600 on BTC and 2315 on ETH, I bought the dip again. I also caught yesterday’s entry to reverse into shorts. Yesterday, I clearly told you this was the last chance to take a position in a long-term short. I entered near 81800 on BTC and 3370 on ETH, accurate

Lots of code updates—does that mean fast progress?
When evaluating blockchain projects, I also browse their code repositories. But a densely packed commit log isn’t enough to raise my expectations.
Editing documentation, updating dependencies, or fixing a display issue can all generate commits. What makes me willing to keep watching is whether promised features have been completed, key issues resolved, and the work made it into an official release.
I don’t need to pretend to be a developer. If I don’t understand something, I mark it for verification; where I can make comparisons, I look at the

⚠️Analysis of the Bn Hack: How much damage can selling pressure from the hacker’s stash inflict?
This major piece of news in the early hours threw the market off balance: multiple Bn hot wallets were hacked, and on-chain monitoring was first to detect unusual large cross-chain asset transfers. Panic spread quickly, sending BTC sharply lower at the $80,000 level, while BNB fell even further, triggering a wave of concentrated long liquidations in a short period. The market’s biggest questions now are: how many coins did the hacker steal? How much of the stash remains u

The test runs from October 30 to November 20, 2026, and adds support for Simple Mode. The current version has 50,000 ratings, with a score of 2.4.
Beta Upgrade Notes: The QQ HarmonyOS app is still being iterated on, but its 2.4 rating and feature list, which remains focused on basic social features, are worth noting. Simple Mode pares down the interface; whether it improves the user experience remains t

I bought several coins—is that diversification?
Suppose I hold a few spot assets and have opened several futures positions. The holdings list looks varied. But I’d ask one more question: are they all betting on the same thing?
For example, they may all belong to the same ecosystem, depend on the same wave of hype, or be based on the idea that “the broader market is about to rise.” Different names can react very similarly to the same bad news.
So when I review my positions, I don’t just sort them by coin. I also note what each position is most vulnerable to: problems in the ecosystem, a liquidi
