#战略性加仓BTC Many beginners believe that as long as they endure in the crypto world over time, wealth will automatically come their way.

Everyone who enters the market has dreamed: "As long as I survive a few cycles of bull and bear markets, my account balance will naturally grow."

But that's not how it works.

Time itself won't make you money; the key is how you use this time. I know many veteran players who have been in the scene for three or four years, experienced two complete cycles, yet their accounts remain stagnant, some even shrinking. It's not that they lack effort or don't watch the charts, but their initial direction was wrong from the start.

These people's common problem is consistent: they can't sit still after making a little profit, chase high during market rallies, and become more aggressive as prices surge. When they should reduce their positions, they hesitate; when emotions run high, they abandon their plans. During bear markets, they cut losses hastily; during rebounds, they regret it afterward. Their accounts may not be wrecked, but their mentality and patience are worn down, and funds are lost in pointless emotional fluctuations.

Opportunities Are Always Present

This round of market movement indeed offers significant opportunities. If you can catch a trend properly, the results won't disappoint. But the prerequisite is one word—stability.

Keep a steady mindset, maintain a stable position. Yet, these two points are what most people fail to do.

**Why can't they make money? Three common problems:**

They don't study cycles, only focus on K-line movements, missing cyclical layout opportunities; they don't plan ahead, trading based on temporary feelings, essentially lacking strategy; their position sizes fluctuate with their mood—greedy to add during big rises, panicking to reduce during drops—resulting in being led by the market.

The final outcome is similar: rushing in during rises, selling during drops, and the account looks like it's being drained slowly.

**Why do some people manage to make money?**

I take it slow because I’ve already figured out a few things from the start:

Only use disposable funds that I can't afford to lose, so I can stay calm; enter and exit in batches, not expecting to catch the absolute bottom or top; the fewer mistakes I make, the more valuable my gains tend to be compared to making more trades.

**Why do most people ultimately fail?**

It's not a lack of opportunities, but their inability to sit still. When there's no market movement, they get itchy; when the market moves, they panic and make mistakes, ending up with worse losses.

The market never rewards the busiest traders; it rewards those who can wait patiently. The top approach is: do nothing most of the time, and act only at critical moments. Patience, stability, and fewer moves—only then will time be on your side.

It may seem like you've taken many steps, but in the end, you'll realize that **keeping your emotions and positions stable, and letting time be your reward mechanism**. Most people exhaust all their opportunities by repeatedly chasing highs and selling lows.
