Many investors cannot go far on this path. The fundamental reason is often not a lack of technology or information, but a lack of true self-awareness. You think you understand your risk preferences, psychological bottom line, and decision-making logic, but most of the time you are just repeating the thought patterns shaped by a certain system or cultural environment. The market is full of such investors—they don't lose to the market trend, but to the version of themselves that is constantly reinforced. To go further, the first step is not to study coins or charts, but to truly see the person in the mirror.

Honestly, I can't even see myself clearly... How painful it is. Watching K-line charts every day, but I can't see the face in the mirror clearly.

To be honest, this hits home. I used to think I understood risk control, but when the market dipped, my true colors were revealed, and I realized I was just fooling myself.

You're so right. I just lost to my own repeated reinforcement logic. Every time I think this time will be different, but the result is the same.

That was really amazing. I'm just that person who thinks they understand risk but is actually full of illusions, haha.

This hits right in the heart, more painful than any technical analysis. Most people have no idea how much they are really worth, yet they rush to buy the dip and sell the top, only to be repeatedly harvested by their own cognitive biases.

It hits hard. I am the kind of person who thinks I understand everything, but in the end, I still fall because of my mindset. --- This statement sounds simple, but how many people actually do it? --- The metaphor of the mirror is excellent; most people don't even dare to look. --- Seeing this reminds me of all my losses last year, all caused by my own obsession. --- The hardest part in the crypto world isn't choosing coins, but choosing yourself. --- I should have understood this long ago; otherwise, studying charts for ten more years is useless. --- Reinforced thinking patterns can really loop infinitely. How to break free? --- This hit a nerve. What should I do? --- That's why some people make money and others lose money—their mindset levels are different.
