Whenever the market experiences major fluctuations, the crypto world feels like a screening contest. Those who truly survive are never the reckless gamblers, but investors with a steady mindset and a slow, disciplined approach.

Recently, BEAT plummeted over 16% in a single day, and the community immediately exploded with discussions—should we cut losses or hold? Watching these anxious voices, I actually understand them quite well because I’ve been through that trap myself.

In the early days, I would panic and sell when the market dropped, but I later realized a fundamental truth: most losses are not forcibly taken by the market, but are voluntarily handed over by investors in panic. During sharp declines, candlestick charts can deceive, technical indicators may fail, but human greed and fear never do.

This is the core issue. If you’re only investing idle money, then the fluctuations are just a game on the screen. If the price drops from 100 to 50, your account balance halves, but your quality of life shouldn’t change. At this moment, the most important thing is not to stare at the charts, but to calmly ask yourself: Are the XRP I hold, the assets I own, fundamentally worth enduring this dark period?

I’ve seen a fan who held on during BEAT’s first crash and managed well psychologically. But when the second wave of panic hit, he couldn’t hold it and sold at the bottom. Less than two weeks later, the market rebounded, and he watched the price rise, regretting it so much he felt sick.

For those currently holding no position or a light position, remember this: opportunities in the market are always there. The truly scarce resource is not opportunity itself, but patience. Don’t expect to perfectly bottom-tick in one shot; such attempts are mostly survivor bias. The right approach is to divide your capital into three parts and enter the market in three measured steps, which helps you survive longer.

The profit logic in crypto is actually very simple—not relying on a single genius move or bold gamble, but on countless instances of “not making fatal mistakes” stacked together. When your position isn’t extreme, your mindset naturally stays stable; as long as you invest with idle funds, your decision-making remains less prone to deviation.

Short-term fluctuations are essentially just market noise. The real winners are often those who can maintain their rhythm and avoid panic or FOMO in a sea of chaos. The crazier the market, the more you should act like an ordinary person, because only then can you laugh last.

Remember: those who can survive and even profit in the market are always the ones willing to be the first to reach out and grab opportunities. Are you ready?
