Market trends come together, and the square is never short of "gurus." The screenshots of shared trades are more outrageous one after another—contracts doubling, earning tens of thousands daily, as if missing this wave would be a life regret. But strangely, as soon as a bear market knocks, these voices instantly fall silent.

I've seen too many people like this. During a bull market, contracts double in a month, walking with confidence, constantly talking about "logic" and "patterns"; but once the market turns, a single K-line drops, and accounts are wiped clean, not even daring to open the app again.

Over the years, I've realized that the crypto world isn't really about who makes money faster, but about who can truly hold onto their money.

Later, I discovered a pattern: in a bull market, learn to resist greed; in a bear market, be willing to slowly accumulate. That’s the real skill. The most fatal mistake in a bull market isn't not making money, but making money and then wanting to double it. Positions get bigger and bigger, stop-losses set further away, until a single pullback zaps all the previous gains.

In a bear market, it’s completely the opposite. No hype, no popularity, no applause—seems boring beyond belief. But in fact, the real test of character is during this period. True veterans enjoy the calm, patiently laying out their plans in the bear market, using time to exchange for chips, and waiting until the next cycle begins.

Many newcomers want to make a big move right away, thinking that missing a step means missing out on something. But the truth is, before you understand your emotions, feel the market, and establish trading discipline, throwing real money in is just paying tuition. No one can skip this process.
