#战略性加仓BTC I often get asked a question: Can someone who has been in the crypto circle for a long time still regain a normal life rhythm?



Honestly, the answer is a bit counterintuitive — but it's the truth.

I entered the scene at 26, and it’s been nearly ten years now. In the early days, it was basically a process of being repeatedly knocked down by the market, making trial and error, and constantly hitting zero. The turning point came two years ago, after my account first crossed a certain critical point, and my entire life rhythm changed. Nowadays, the days of staying up late watching charts, repeatedly calculating, and worrying about cash flow are like two different worlds from back then.

But don’t get me wrong, this isn’t about luck or guts. The real key to success or failure in the crypto world has never depended on how many skills or tools you have, but on who can keep a steady mindset. Technology is just a tool; mindset is the helm. Many people are actually quite skilled technically, but because of impatience, greed, and stubbornness, they gradually push themselves out of the game.

My approach is actually very simple — I always focus on one thing: where is the capital moving.

Bitcoin is like the pulse of the market. It’s stable, and only then do other coins have room to perform; once it reaches an extreme, risk immediately becomes the top priority. The fluctuations between stablecoins and Bitcoin essentially reflect traders’ emotions and risk-avoidance psychology. Once you understand this logic, you’re no longer just looking at boring candlestick charts, but at the rhythm of the market itself.

Timing is equally critical. Late at night and early morning are often the times when emotions are most likely to spiral out of control; once the US market opens, volatility usually intensifies significantly. The rise and fall of the market itself isn’t the main point; what matters is at what stage you choose to participate or to stand aside.

In the end, those who survive are often not the ones who make the most aggressive moves, but those who can wait and endure the longest. When others panic, you stay still; when others go crazy, you don’t follow. Some holdings may look dull, but as long as the underlying logic remains intact, I’m willing to give time a chance. I’ve experienced positions that seemed absurd but persisted to the end, and they all paid off — not because I have extraordinary foresight, but because I wasn’t scared off by short-term fluctuations.

The crypto world isn’t easy, but what it truly filters out isn’t the most clever people, but those who can completely separate life, emotions, and trading. Mastering this is what qualifies you for the word “long-term,” and it’s also the only way to find a freer, more stable lifestyle again.

That's quite right, but I still think most people simply can't manage their mindset. Watching their holdings fluctuate day after day, how can they truly detach themselves?

Mindset is indeed the helm, but to be honest, most people are pushed out before reaching that critical point. Surviving ten years is itself a survivor bias.

Those who stick to the end are not cut, and those who panic become the leeks.

Absolutely right, mindset is truly the dividing line; so many technical experts have been defeated by their emotions.
