Not making money in the crypto market? Don't rush to blame the market or your skills.

What really causes losses is often that restless heart.

A bunch of retail investors fall into the trap of "seeking quick profits," but never reflect on the fundamental problem. After buying coins, they start daydreaming—doubling overnight, getting rich in a night. But as soon as the coin price slightly retraces, their mindset immediately shatters: either start cursing the market’s dark secrets, complaining about bad luck, or get scared and want to cut losses and run.

But have you ever thought about it? No asset can rise forever in one direction. If it did, it would definitely be a scam.

The market’s ups and downs follow certain rules. Only those who can stay calm and steady can truly survive here. Mencius said it well: "Those with stable property have stable hearts; those without stable property have unstable hearts." Want to make money in investing? First, develop a resilient heart.

Don’t always have "becoming rich tomorrow" in your mind. Opportunities for steady appreciation never favor those with wavering mindsets. When you’re obsessing over daily ups and downs, the people truly accumulating wealth have already figured it out—this is not gambling; it’s long-term, steady appreciation. Fluctuations are normal, losses are inevitable, but the key is how you respond.

Your reaction to market volatility ultimately determines whether you can succeed. Not making money is never because the market is trapping you, but because your own mindset has issues.
