Control your hands, and you can control your money.



Open the market software, and it's a sea of red and green. Your fingers start to become restless again, right? I've seen this show too many times: a certain coin suddenly surges, a bunch of people rush in, only to hold stubbornly at the top; when the market reverses, panic sets in, and they sell in a panic, only for the price to rebound immediately afterward. Then they can only slap their thighs in frustration while watching the screen.

Every day, the same story plays out. But I want to tell you a counterintuitive fact— in this market, those who are "not smart" often make more money.

I started messing around in this circle back in 2018. During the 2022 bear market, I lost 60%, which was quite disastrous. But it was also during that time that I developed a "stupid method" that not only recovered my principal but also gradually accumulated stable profits. This method boils down to four words: control your emotions.

**The crypto world is a magnifier of human nature**

When a coin doubles overnight and the forum is full of stories of "financial freedom," it's hard not to be tempted. Conversely, when the market crashes significantly, panic spreads, and selling in a panic seems like the only way out. Most losses actually come from emotional chasing and panic selling.

I still remember that bull market in 2021. When Bitcoin hit $60,000, how many people were blinded by FOMO and went all-in with their savings? As the market turned against them, these people became the bagholders at the top.

I set a strict rule for myself: better to miss out than to make a mistake. If I don't see familiar signals, I just watch and don't move. This requires immense patience, like a hunter waiting patiently by a trap for prey to come to him. Earlier this year, a hot coin surged 300% in a week. Everyone in the group was showing off their gains, but I chose to observe from a distance because that’s not my style.

That's right, it's just easy to be careless.

Sounds nice, but how many people can actually do it? I'm just that fool who pats his thigh in front of the screen.

Exactly right, but execution is too difficult. I'm the kind of person whose fingers are very unruly; when I see a bunch of people hyping in the group, I turn around and go all-in.

That's right, being careless is truly the number one killer in the crypto world. I was the one who shot myself in the foot with my own fingers.

That's right, you just have to control that hand of yours. I was also driven by FOMO in 2021, and I still remember that feeling... The moment of cutting losses can really make you furious.
