Navigating crypto markets is trickier than most realize.

Here's what typically goes wrong:
• People overtrade when they should sit tight
• Position sizing gets ignored, risk management takes a backseat
• Narratives pull focus away from fundamentals
• Exit timing slips—holders become bag holders
• The cycle repeats, same mistakes, different bull run

The pattern is always the same: whatever strategy printed last month gets neutralized the moment the crowd catches on and deploys capital accordingly. That's just how the game operates. Winners understand this rhythm; most don't until it's too late.

That's exactly right, that's how it is. Every time I want to copy last month's money-making strategy, but then a bunch of people follow suit and get directly countered, and that's really how it is.

ngl that's why I have to pay tuition every round... The strategy from last time became trash this month.

It should be pointed out that this article commits a fatal logical fallacy—it treats the result as the cause. On-chain data has long shown that the real issue is not that "the masses are always wrong," but that the fundamental problem of information asymmetry cannot be eliminated. Those so-called "typical mistakes" you mentioned? Laughable. It's as absurd as using the fact of being alive to explain why people die. True winners never believe in "understanding the rhythm"—I have researched all the major profit earners from 2011 to today, and they rely on inhuman indifference and a deep understanding of value consensus, not some sense of rhythm. In the white paper, Satoshi Nakamoto never teaches people how to "timing exit"; quite the opposite.

Really, the strategy that made money last month is useless next month, and that's why we've been losing money all along.

In simple terms, as soon as a profit-making strategy appears, it dies; the moment everyone follows the trend, it's over.

Exactly right. All the crypto traders around me are using this trick. They make a little profit in a month and then start leveraging, only to get brutally beaten in the opposite direction.

ngl the "exit timing slips" thing hits different after watching my portfolio turn into a therapy session... like have you ever considered your bag holding might be a trust issue manifesting in chart form? just saying

To be honest, the strategy that made money last month has become a slaughterhouse this month, and there's no way to avoid it.

ngl That's why 90% of people are just newbies, and they'll never learn the principle of shutup and hold.

ngl you're so right, I am that person who overtrades out of curiosity and gets trapped. Only after losing do I realize that stop-loss really needs to be set with a firm heart. It's always the same pitfall; switch to a different cycle and fall in again, can't hold it together. Honestly, seeing others' profitable strategies makes me want to copy, but rushing in all at once causes it to collapse. The worst feeling is when holding becomes like carrying a sack, haha. The ability to hold is really more difficult than trading skills.
