#2026年比特币价格展望 Leveraging is essentially the last struggle of a gambler.

Recently, I saw someone messing around with $ETH, placing a few trades, holding on for three days until they couldn’t take it anymore, finally cutting losses of over 100,000 and still trying to figure out how to recover. I told him: your mindset itself is the root of the problem.

Why do people hold on to losing positions? Basically, it’s because they don’t want to admit they were wrong. They keep betting on the idea that "just hold on a little longer, it will go up," but the market always teaches you a lesson in reverse. You might dodge a few small corrections, but the market never runs out of lessons, and one is enough. The volatility of coins like $ZEC and $RIVER is equally ruthless; holding on in any market condition is a signal that a liquidation is imminent.

I’ve seen many old-timers in the crypto world; those who truly last don’t rely on luck. They share some common traits: stable mindset, manageable risk, admitting mistakes, respecting trends, and knowing when to cut losses. It may sound like old advice, but these boring principles are what turn gamblers into players.

Blindly rushing in will inevitably lead to a crash; having someone to guide you makes the path steadier. Instead of being beaten down by market swings every time, it’s better to think clearly early on — trading isn’t about bravery, it’s about brains. Keep a steady mindset, and the market will give you a way out.

I've never seen anyone turn their life around just by relying on this thing... Saying to cut losses over 100,000 and still hoping to break even? That's just self-deception in the end.

Honestly, I've seen many traders try to hold positions with this strategy, but they all end up with bad outcomes. Risk control may seem boring, but it's truly a matter of life and death. --- When your mindset is broken, your account will eventually follow. If you make a wrong call, just accept it. Trying to gamble on a "hold on and it will rise" mentality—markets will teach you a lesson once and for all. --- Those who have been in the crypto world for a long time don't survive by luck alone. Understanding stop-loss, risk management, and admitting mistakes quickly—that's the real indicator of strength. Everything else is nonsense. --- Instead of getting beaten up by market fluctuations every day, it's better to understand your own strength first. Trading isn't about courage; it's about brains and execution. --- Even with coins like ZEC, RIVER, or others that have huge volatility, it's not an excuse. Holding positions is just setting yourself up for liquidation. I've seen too many stories like this, and the ending is always tragic. --- That guy lost over ten thousand at a high price and is still thinking about getting back? That mindset itself shows he's not mentally prepared. The next drop will still come, no matter what. --- The real logic for making money is simple: if you're wrong, just run. Don't bother with all those fancy tricks. The market isn't that complicated; the complexity lies in human nature.

Holding positions is really just self-deception; sooner or later, you'll have to admit defeat.

Holding the position is really a brilliant move, it's like digging a pit for yourself, and when the market turns around, you'll get caught in the crossfire. There's nothing wrong with that; if your mentality isn't in check, everything is pointless. Instead of dreaming every day about breaking even, it's better to think about how to cut losses properly. I've seen too many people fall for the phrase "Just hold on a little longer," it's hilarious, and in the end, it's all lessons learned the hard way. Why is it so difficult to cut losses? Truly. Gambler's mentality is like this—only when the account is wiped out do they realize the pain, and the awakening comes too late.

Taking on orders is just self-deception; I really can't understand these people's mindset.
