The recent market has given me a good opportunity. Starting from 50U on January 3rd, in just five days, the account is estimated to break through 500U. Although this growth curve looks impressive, the story behind it is far from simple.

In the past few days, my position distribution has been uneven, and I’ve been stopped out several times. I had a chance with LYN; I started paying attention from the beginning of the rally and even chased a few times, but I didn’t dare to hold a heavy position. Watching it soar all the way up, I couldn’t help but feel regret. The performance of the Ant position is even more disappointing, as I never managed to hold a key position steadily.

PIPPIN’s trend today can be summed up in one word: weak. I can feel that the whales have already closed their long positions, and there’s no enthusiasm in the market to take over. I was confident and wanted to bottom fish, but due to tight funds and lack of courage, I was even ridiculed by the market—being short at 0.37 and getting blasted, now the price has already dropped to 0.33.

This market movement has made me realize one thing: seeing the right direction and actually capturing profits are two different things. Position management and mental control often test a person more than technical analysis. The next step is to weigh risks and opportunities more carefully.

From 50 to 500, behind the beautiful numbers are all stop losses and regrets—that's our daily routine. Poor position management means even the best market conditions are wasted.

Haha, I guessed right but still couldn't get in, that's the most heartbreaking part. I often experience the same. LYN's move really made me a bit regretful for not holding on tightly. Watching others take off while you're left on the sidelines feels so painful. PIPPIN, I also missed out. Now I don't know whether to chase or wait. The core is attitude and position size. No matter how good your skills are, if your mindset collapses, it's all useless. The profits from this round are a painful lesson learned the hard way. Remember the lesson next time.

Even when I get the direction right, I still lose. This is my daily routine, haha. I had the chance but didn't dare to act; then when I did, I got slapped in the face. That move with LYN really broke my mentality. Money management is easy to talk about but extremely difficult to do. Next time, I need to be more ruthless.

Dreams from 50 to 500 haven't woken up yet, and PIPPIN has knocked me back to my original form again. This is the crypto world. Seeing the right project isn't the same as making the right profit. That wave with LYN really made my guts regret turning green. Next time, I need to be more ruthless. The whales have left, and we're still here idling. Can't even smile. Position management sounds simple, but it's hard to do. Who isn't losing while learning? Actually, it just takes a bit of courage and luck. That's about it.

A tenfold dream shattered in the mindset, this is the most heartbreaking part. Getting it right is pointless; the key is whether you're brave enough to get on board. LYN's recent move truly deserved regret; missing out is just that—missed, no way around it. PIPPIN is indeed foolish to catch the falling knife now; even whales have left, do you still want to buy the dip? Position management is more important than anything else; unfortunately, most only realize this too late. That's right, mindset is much more hardcore than technical analysis; I only understood after being taught a lesson. From 10x to 1x, if your psychological preparation isn't solid, you'll lose everything. Being criticized for shorting—I've experienced this too; the market doesn't care about your opinions.

Guessing the right direction is pointless; this is the most heartbreaking part. --- LYN's move was truly incredible, watching the surge happen right before my eyes... broke my mindset. --- Position management is the real ceiling; no matter how good your skills are, a poor mindset is useless. --- A tenfold opportunity is right in front of you, but you're too timid—that's the fate of retail investors. --- PIPPIN weak? Even whales have left the market, what opportunities are left? The story of the bag-holder. --- Going from 50 to 500 is really exciting, but those few stop-losses probably hurt even more. --- When funds are tight, it's often the best time for opportunities—it's really ironic. --- Mindset control > technical analysis; this really hit me. --- I didn't dare to hold heavy positions, and later I regretted it—I really understand that feeling. --- Buying the dip didn't work out and I was instead mocked; the market just loves to play tricks on people.

Haha, this is the crypto world. If you get it right, you still might not make money. LYN's move was truly amazing. I watched it soar right before my eyes. To put it simply, it's all about having the right mindset and position. No matter how perfect the technical analysis is, it's useless without that.

I was right about the direction but didn't dare to act, and that's the most heartbreaking part. LYN's recent move really resulted in a huge loss. Position management is easy to talk about, but when the market is in front of you, you forget everything. Next time, I need to be more aggressive. PIPPIN really has no popularity right now, and it seems like it will drop further. Let's wait and see. Turning 10U into 50U sounds great, but the process is truly uncomfortable. I still need to adjust my mindset. Looking at your recent moves, the key issue is still not being able to hold. Maybe only when I can just watch without acting will I finally make money.
