Crypto friends, if you're still heads down watching the charts, thinking that strong technical skills, high awareness, and stable trading will automatically bring in money, it's time to wake up.



Many people fall into the same misconception: as long as their trades are correct, profits will follow. But reality is much harsher. You might have several months of consistent profits, a deep understanding of the market far beyond those around you, and a discipline level exceeding 90% of traders. But one black swan event or a liquidity crunch can wipe out years of your gains.

This isn't due to a lack of ability; it's the true face of the market—it's never merciful.

The core issue here is: you lack something that can truly hedge risks. Traffic is that thing. With traffic, you gain influence, bargaining power, multiple monetization channels, and most importantly, the ability to survive in a bear market.

When the market is hot, make money through trading; when the market is sluggish, make money through awareness and influence—that's the complete survival framework.

But most crypto people? They keep their heads down, work in isolation, privately think they understand quite a lot, but never share their views or build influence. Your awareness can only turn into money once, and even then, it’s likely just luck.

Look at those who have truly made big money in this market—how many rely solely on pure trading? Almost none. They are involved in content creation, community management, project participation, and personal branding. Trading is just part of their income, not the whole.

Have you awakened? It's time to start building your influence.

Really? A single crash and it's all gone. Even the strongest technical analysis can't save it.

That was a harsh statement, but it really hits home. A single wipeout can revert someone to their original state—that's the crypto world. Do you want to talk about how to start from zero and build influence? Most people only talk on paper; very few actually deliver value. After seeing so many people crash and burn, I realize that relying solely on trading isn't sustainable. Making money is easy; making money consistently is the real challenge. I feel like I've heard this before, but no one really takes action. Having traffic means having bargaining power—that logic is flawless. I've told my friends a hundred times, but no one believes it until they lose money themselves. So now, I’m quietly accumulating, waiting to witness a miracle.

When the black swan comes, it directly clears everything out. I am the one who has suffered losses before. Now I only do small test orders.

It has proven that trading stability and risk management are two different things... When faced with black swan events, everyone has to admit defeat. Liquidity is the true moat.

It's so heartbreaking, I watched it three times, and each time I was touched. There's nothing wrong with what was said—those who stand out are indeed good at talking, and pure traders simply can't survive long.

That hurts. I'm the damn fool who just keeps staring at the charts silently.
