What are the common dilemmas faced by retail investors? To put it simply, it's not poor skills or bad luck, but desires running amok.



What are you thinking when you enter the market? Buying a few coins, expecting them to double by tomorrow, dreaming of getting rich overnight. When the coin prices pull back, you break down—feeling like you've been cut, experiencing all kinds of negative emotions, even considering giving up. Stories like these have played out countless times in the market.

But the reality is, no asset can only go up and never fall. If such an asset did exist, it would most likely be a trap. Market fluctuations follow natural laws. Those who truly profit from the market tend to share a common trait—calm mindset and no greed.

Have you ever thought about why some people can hold on during a bear market, while others panic and sell during minor corrections? The key difference lies here. People with a stable mindset understand that investing is not gambling, nor is it about getting rich overnight. It’s about gradually increasing assets over time and through market cycles.

Losses are inevitable in trading, and market volatility is normal. But how you respond to these fluctuations and how you manage your emotions are the ultimate factors determining whether you can make money. Those who are anxious every day, watching the K-line nervously for drops, often end up earning little. Conversely, those who can stay calm, stick to long-term investment logic, are the real winners in the end.

Instead of worrying about what will happen tomorrow, think about how to establish a stable, sustainable investment strategy. That is the true path to wealth accumulation.

That's right, I have a bunch of people around me like that. Buying coins is like gambling; when it drops by 10%, they start shouting about being cut. Truly unbelievable. The dream of getting rich overnight has ruined many retail investors. Now that I watch the market less, my mindset is much better. Mindset is more valuable than any technical indicator.

Really, over the years I have been a living example of what not to do. Back when I went all in, I really must have lost my mind. I'm the kind of rookie who watches the charts every day; a single pullback would make me break apart. Now I understand—losing your composure is the real cutting knife. The bear market is still holding on stubbornly, while the bull market has started to pick up positions. This has been my experience from 2018 to now [Dog Head]. You're right, but I just can't quit the habit of watching K-line charts every day; it's a old habit. Compared to doubling my investment, I now just want to be steady and not lose money. That's already an improvement. At my age, I've long seen through it all. Young people still need to stumble through a few more pits before they understand.

That's right, greed is the culprit. I've experienced it myself. I just want to ask, how many people can really avoid watching the market? As for me, I can't do it. It's easy to talk about mentality, but when the price drops, you forget everything.
