Having observed many traders, I have come to understand a fact: the amount of money in an account does not ultimately determine how much you can earn.

The true points of differentiation are threefold—

First is vision. Can you sense the turning points of the market in advance? In the weeks before Bitcoin's price rose from the bottom, most people were still watching, while a few had already quietly positioned themselves. This is not luck; it’s an understanding of market rhythm.

Second is courage. Recognizing the trend but not acting is the same as doing nothing. Successful traders are often not waiting for absolute certainty before taking action, but are willing to follow through when opportunities appear. Those few minutes of hesitation could mean missing the entire upward cycle.

Third is taking profits. Many people make money but cannot hold onto it. Profits that could have doubled are lost due to being trapped or not cashing out in time, returning to square one. Knowing when to take profits and when to cash out is the true difference between professional traders and retail investors.

Funds are just tools; the real skills for surviving long-term in the crypto market are cognition, execution, and the ability to realize gains.
