Do you always want to catch all the market moves? Chasing the wind today, bottom-fishing tomorrow, and watching contracts the day after? The result is—nothing is caught, and you end up losing thoroughly.
This is a common problem for 90% of traders. Always feeling that missing any opportunity is a loss, but not realizing that this greed is actually the biggest trap.
Compare it with other fields and you'll understand. In such a large industry as medicine, doctors still need to choose their specialty. Lawyers also need to specialize in civil and commercial law, criminal law, intellectual property, and other areas. Why? Because mastering a niche market is much more valuable than knowing everything.
Trading is the same principle.
Instead of trying to do everything and being mediocre at all, it's better to focus intensely on one market structure—maybe a trend breakout, maybe a consolidation pullback, or the technical aspects of a specific coin. Excelling in this area will naturally set you apart from most people. Mainstream assets like $BTC, $ETH, and $BNB each have their own quirks. Rather than spreading your energy thin across everything, it's better to choose the one you're most familiar with and study it deeply.
Take your time; you'll progress faster. It's better to have one skill at 100 points than five skills stuck at 60. Focusing may seem dull and lengthy, but it is the only reliable shortcut in this market.

Oh, you're right. I'm the kind of fool who wants to do everything, and now I regret it deeply.

That's right, but the reality is that 99% of people can't do it. Just look at the chip distribution, most retail investors simply don't have the patience to stick to one direction, switching tracks every few days. In the end, the pattern has already formed, but they haven't fully caught the move.

Exactly right, I am that 90%, constantly chasing this and copying that every day, and as a result, I didn't catch any of them and even lost a bunch.

You're right, greed really is a terminal illness. I used to be like that, wanting to do everything, but ended up not doing any of it well. Now, focusing on one cryptocurrency has actually made my gains more stable.
