#数字资产市场动态 The mindset of breaking even is quietly destroying your account



The most common thought after entering the circle is this: to recover the losses first. And then? The result is losing more and more, opportunities are right in front of you but you turn a blind eye.

When taking profits at 5%, you think you're close to breaking even and fear missing out on unrealized gains. It looks cautious, but in reality, you're fighting against your own wealth. This mindset is like digging a pit and jumping into it yourself.

Imagine an athlete who trains only one hour a day, saying "this is enough to maintain the state"—do you believe he will ever become a champion? The market is the same. Those who really make big money also suffered losses and stepped on pitfalls in the beginning. The key is that they didn't get stuck in these setbacks; instead, they used failure as a stepping stone to rise. The intensity of their training, the courage to face challenges, are on a completely different level from most people.

Assets like $BTC, $ETH, their volatility is the flow of wealth. You either go all out to seize it or don't blame the market for being ruthless. Small profits, small recoveries—these are all illusions. The only truly worthwhile goal is one—financial freedom, to completely change your life.

What is never lacking is not that 5% profit. What is lacking is an obsession that insists on earning until you drop, the courage to withstand volatility, and aiming for big goals.

From the moment you change your mindset, you will truly see the opportunities in the market. Stop obsessing over breaking even. Look further ahead, adjust your mentality, and leave the rest to execution. The difference between the wealthy and ordinary people often lies in this determination.

You're just spreading anxiety again, which is honestly a bit exhausting.

The mindset of breaking even is something I've struggled with before. It’s really tough to take a 5% profit; I always feel like if I just wait a bit longer, I can turn things around. By the way, your logic makes sense, but honestly, I've seen too many people go all-in and end up with nothing. How can such a big goal be so easy to talk about? A 5% profit may seem small, but accumulated over time, it’s actually quite a lot. Is it really only worth it if you achieve financial freedom? That’s a bit absolute. I admit it, mindset issues are indeed fundamental, but execution seems even more difficult. Just adjusting your thinking isn’t enough.

The mindset of breaking even is really a silent killer... So many people around me have been trapped and lost because of it. 5% satisfaction is enough haha, but in the end, it still results in more losses. I think the key is to admit the nature of greed itself. It's not something that can be solved by simply adjusting your mindset. Some people are naturally suited for this market, but most people actually aren't.

The mentality of breaking even is indeed deadly; I’ve fallen for it before... Just thinking about it now gives me chills. --- Want to run after earning 5%? How many times would it take to achieve financial freedom? Wake up, everyone. --- That’s right, but when it comes to critical moments, who can really hold it together? It’s easy to say but deadly to do. --- Talking about execution every day, but the problem is if you execute in the wrong direction, it’s all for nothing. --- I’m tired of this kind of motivational talk; the key still depends on capital and luck. --- Having a long-term vision is good, but no one can carry the determination before the account blows up. --- Making big money and breaking even are two different things; not everyone can afford to take that risk.

Damn, this is me. Every time I see a 5% gain, I want to run, but I end up losing so much that it turns into a negative.
