Let's start with some harsh truth: losing money in the crypto world isn't really the market's fault; frankly, it's your own doing. Take $XRP as an example, where is the mistake?

Jumping in without understanding anything, refusing to admit mistakes even when wrong, and constantly thinking about a turnaround. I've seen this pattern many times in my 8 years in crypto, and the ending is pretty much fixed: account wiped out → blaming the whales → leaving the community → getting re-scammed in the next round.

$PTB is a living lesson. As soon as the upward move appears, the only thought in people's minds is: "If I don't buy the dip, I'll miss out!" I openly told the group: the monthly chart hasn't formed a golden cross, no one should act. And what happened? Many thought I was too conservative, complained that the pace was slow, and said that this way, they couldn't make big money.

48 hours later, the monthly MACD confirmed a golden cross, the price retested the 60-day moving average, and trading volume clearly increased. I told everyone the specific entry zone, repeatedly emphasizing: don't go all-in, don't chase high, and if it falls below the 70-day moving average, sell everything immediately; when it rises, take the first 30% profit, and after another wave up, reduce your position by 50%.

What about outside? Shouting about ten-bagger coins, posting screenshots for self-hype, going all-in. But when the correction comes, everyone plays dead, starts predicting, blames the exchange when they get liquidated.

What about me? Some people didn't catch the last wave, some sold too early, but no one got liquidated, no one got stuck.

The difference is simple: people who lose money don't make mistakes in analysis—they just don't want to admit they're wrong.

In these 8 years, I've survived by one iron rule: if the 70-day moving average breaks, don't say anything—just clear your positions. No need to ask why, no need to show mercy, no need to hold onto illusions.

Going against the market? That's just asking for trouble. Don't keep saying "just one more wave."
