#数字资产市场动态 There might be a phrase that sounds uncomfortable, but many long-term participants in cryptocurrency trading understand: it's really hard to go back to the old rhythm of life.

It's not that you have to go back, but once your psychological defenses are broken, they can never be rebuilt. Once you've experienced it—seeing your account’s daily profit exceed an ordinary white-collar worker’s monthly salary—the feelings afterward completely change. The routine of work cards, punch-in sheets, and waiting for the end-of-month salary starts to feel a bit strange. After seeing your account fluctuate by tens of thousands of USDT in a day, it’s really hard to adjust your mindset when asked to sit in an office and exchange time for money.

The core issue isn’t really whether you can go back, but whether you’re willing to.

When you witness market surges, rapid asset growth, and digital jumps faster than your heartbeat, the market has already marked you. Comparing a daily profit or loss of tens of thousands to a monthly fixed salary is like two different worlds. The feeling of being “priced” has disappeared, replaced by a craving for the market’s rhythm. The most painful part of the crypto market is this: it lets you glimpse the ceiling while also shattering your original baseline.

Since going back isn’t an option, the only way forward is to settle down and become one of those who truly survive.

The crypto world has never nurtured emotional traders. Those who really make the big money aren’t the ones chasing every rise and fall with calls, but the traders who build positions early during sideways movements and have upgraded their cognition. When others are caught up in FOMO and rushing in, you’ve already laid your trap; when others start shouting about a bull market, your profit-taking plan has already been executed. Remember this: the market is never short of fantasies about the future; what’s lacking are those who can survive the turbulence with a clear mind. Whether you can ride the trend depends on whether you’re qualified to stay at this table.

Honestly, this paragraph really hit me. The feeling of being unable to go back is indeed torturous, but what I fear more is that after going back, I’ll still have to listen to others brag. --- When the ceiling is broken, it’s broken. Right now, the most annoying thing is those who chase the rise, still pretending to be traders, laughable. --- The phrase "psychological defense line was broken" is spot on, that’s just how it is. A month's salary is nothing compared to a day's fluctuation. --- I’ve been doing the low-position building strategy for a long time, the key is whether you can withstand that kind of torment; most people can’t. --- Really, the biggest test in the crypto world isn’t technology, but whether your heart can calm down. Too many people have died because of FOMO. --- When others are shouting bull market, I’m already reducing my positions. That’s the difference between being sober and being crazy. --- The ones who sit at this card table the longest are often those who are extremely bored, to be honest.

It's really heartbreaking; once you've experienced that thrill, you can't go back. This is the place in the crypto world that "ruins" people.

You really can't go back; once you've tasted that pleasure, it's over.

To be honest, whether I go back or not doesn't matter anymore. After that one time tasting success... my mind was completely poisoned.

That's right... but how many people can actually do it? Most people still cut losses at low points and FOMO at high points.

That hits too close to home. Once you've tasted that kind of thrill, you can't go back. This is truly the biggest trap in the crypto world. One month's salary vs. one day's fluctuation, the mentality has long since collapsed, and I can't sit still in the office. But on the other hand, those who survive are indeed the monsters who can resist chasing highs. The successful traders around me all have this trait. Wait, this tone feels like brainwashing myself. Don't let the market rhythm hijack you, brother. The real big shots are those who go into low positions and then stop watching the charts. I'm serious.
