Looking back at this year's accounts, I feel like I still lost quite a bit overall. From the expectations at the beginning of the year to the results at the end, that gap is pretty big.

Not sure if it's because I didn't grasp the market cycle well or if I misjudged the timing. Anyway, watching the market fluctuate up and down, my holdings have been drifting along with the waves. Sometimes I think it's a problem with the overall environment, and other times I feel it's an issue with my strategy.

Actually, many people probably share similar feelings this year. Although passive income from mining and staking sounds good, to really make money, you need a clearer understanding of the market. Maybe next year I need to change my approach or directly adjust my risk expectations.

How did everyone do this year? Did anyone take advantage of the lows to buy the dip?

The days of going with the flow are over; next year, I need to learn to cut losses.

Got it, this year I'll just consider it tuition fees. --- Bottom fishing? I went all in at the high levels, don’t ask me. --- Missed the low point, stood firm at the high point, hilarious. --- Mining staking isn’t as lucrative as you think, might as well gamble on the market. --- Not hitting the market cycle properly sounds like I have no problems myself, haha. --- Change your approach next year? Sister, I think you need to change your mind. --- Someone taking advantage of the dip to buy? I want to too, but unfortunately I have no coins. --- Everyone talks about adjusting risk expectations, but next time the market comes, I’ll go all in again. --- The phrase "going with the flow of holdings" hit me hard, feels so real.

Another year of losses, I'm really exhausted. Bottom fishing? Bro, your low might be my high. To put it simply, it's too much of a gamble, with no real trading system. I just want to ask, who really made money in this wave? Staking and mining sound great, but in reality, they still lose to the coin price. Next year, I need to learn to cut losses, or I'll keep getting liquidated.

Really, this year feels like spinning in a casino, with account balances plummeting straight down. If I had known, I would have gone all in during that low point. Now, it's all too late to say anything. Change your approach next year? I think you need to change your mind first.

Full of expectations at the beginning of the year, confused by the end of the year, this feeling is really incredible. Hodl for so long and still losing money, who to blame? Still, it's just my own lack of skill. Buy the dip at a lower price? Bro, I ran out of bullets back then, now I can only watch. Staking yields sound good, but actually cutting losses hurts more, really exhausting. To be honest, compared to strategy issues, I think it's more about having the right mindset. Start over next year? First, recover this year's losses before talking about anything else. Those who buy the dip are all latecomers; no one dares to buy at the true bottom.
