Since Ethereum was around 1800 yuan in 2020, I've been riding this roller coaster. I've made money, lost money, sometimes I was almost ready to flip the table, and other times I was very grateful that I didn't withdraw.

Later I realized that doing any business is the same—whether it's cryptocurrency or other industries, the only way to make money here is to keep learning. There are no shortcuts. Besides that, being able to connect with the right people and do the right things is also very important. If both of these are aligned, the chances will truly tilt in your favor.

After all this, I just want to live the way I want—no following the trend, no settling. That is the most core thing.

1800 That wave, I'm f***ing in too. Have I broken even now, brother? I'm still adding to my position. --- Telling it nicely, but actually just afraid to cut losses. I'm the same. --- Doing the right thing with the right people? Wake up. There are no right moves in this market, only more losses. --- Holding full position and staying put—that's faith. Don't bother with those empty gestures. --- Should have thought this way earlier, but next time there's a sharp drop, you'll still want to cut. --- This is the last time I’m bottom fishing, everyone. Really, this time is different. --- What’s there to learn? It’s just gambling on probabilities. Some people make money, some lose, just depends on luck. --- Yeah, yeah, yeah. And when the bull market comes, you'll regret not adding to your position, right?

Sticking with it for so long without cutting losses truly shows strong resilience. How much profit have you made now from buying at 1800 back then? Paid the tuition fees, and finally understand now. People who don't follow the trend are making good money, this is true. You're right, taking shortcuts will only make you lose money faster. The key is to find the right mentor; it's too exhausting to mess around alone. This mindset is valuable.

I didn't get in on the 1800 block wave, and I regret it now. But looking at your stability, you're much more reliable than most people who chase highs and sell lows. The real thing is the verification node收益—once you learn it properly, the probability indeed tilts in your favor. The phrase "not following the trend" really hit me; too many people just copy others' strategies without really understanding what they want. This rhythm seems to come from going through several complete cycles before understanding it. Respect. I'm just curious, how do you record your mental fluctuation data over these three years? There must be some patterns. Honestly, no one can rely on luck to stay stable and win. Learning costs are the lowest form of investment.

1800 That wave I'm also in now, and I kind of regret not going all in It's really fate to be with the right people. All my friends lost everything If you don't study, you'll eventually get harvested. It's a painful lesson Well said, I just don't want to live so exhausted anymore Sticking to this until now hasn't been easy. I've thought about giving up many times Let's flip the table together, and now we’re all laughing I feel like these words should be engraved in my mind

Back in 1800, only fools bought in. Now, everyone saying this is just the winners talking trash. You learn as you go, and you realize that in this circle, those who follow the trend are always the leeks. The phrase "not following the trend" sounds good, but how many can really stick to it? It sounds like success coaching, but it does have some truth... Damn, from 1800 to now, how strong must one's mental resilience be? Doing the right thing with the right people? I feel like it's just gambling luck. This is the real understanding—most people are still dreaming of getting rich overnight.

Did you get in around 1800? Bro, your luck is way better than mine. --- That's right, it's about learning, but most people just give up while learning. --- Really saving ten years of detours by following the right people. I deeply resonate with this. --- Not following trends or settling, it's easy to say but extremely difficult to do, brother. --- I've been on a roller coaster ride and haven't collapsed yet; truly, my mental resilience is strong. --- Sometimes I wonder, is it technology that changes life or mindset that changes life? --- Getting in at 1800 must be so awesome now, I won't say more. --- As for shortcuts, no matter how much I look, they just don't exist.

Back when it was 1800, I got in then, my buddy is really hardcore. I only got on board later, and now I think I still regret not getting in earlier. I totally agree with the point about persistent learning; there really are no shortcuts. Indeed, being with the right people changed my entire direction, or I would have been wiped out long ago. This mindset is the prerequisite for making big money; those who don’t follow the trend eventually live the way they want to. Sitting from 1800 all the way to now, this holding capacity is incredible. You’re right, the lowest learning cost but highest returns, but unfortunately most people want to take shortcuts. Not following the trend is so easy to say but so hard to do; it really requires a strong psychological mindset.

Not to mention entering at 1800, but the key is not flipping the table—that's the winning mentality. --- There's always more to learn; the money lost in mistakes is worth it in hindsight. --- Doing the right thing with the right people sounds easy, but in practice, it's full of pitfalls. --- It's easy to say not to follow the trend or settle, but how many can truly do it? --- That's why most people are still cutting losses at the bottom, while a few are laughing at the top. --- The logic of making money is universal, but execution is the truly scarce resource. --- I understand the impulse to flip the table too well; those who can resist it end up making money in the end.
