Discipline beats technology, and patience is the true competitive advantage.

Brothers, today the market has been highly volatile again. When the screen is full of red, many people start to sweat. Having been in the crypto world for so many years, I have a little insight I want to share with you: the real opponent is not the market, but yourself.

I have seen too many people, and I was the same before, when the market drops, I rush to cut losses, only to fall before dawn. Some people get caught up in the rebound, chasing high in a hot-headed manner, and end up trapped at the top. These are all lessons learned in real money, fundamentally because of poor mindset management.

**Why is it always "buy then fall, sell then rise"?**

Behind market fluctuations, human nature is actually at play. When your assets shrink in a short period, the instinctive reaction is fear. Under this emotional drive, you tend to sell at the worst times.

The data is very sobering: over 90% of retail investors lose money, and the root cause is "cutting losses during declines and chasing highs during rises." Think about yourself—can you hold on during the first wave of decline, but lose your nerve and sell during the second wave, eventually liquidating your position? Ironically, the price rebounds just a few days after you cut losses, and you can only watch helplessly.

This is normal, but it’s not impossible to overcome. True investors are not those without emotions, but those who can stick to discipline amid volatility.

**My practical experience is as follows:**

When the market is highly volatile, I do three things.

First, check your positions and funds. My principle is very simple—only invest with idle money.
