Navigating crypto markets is trickier than most realize.

Here's what typically goes wrong:
• People overtrade when they should sit tight
• Position sizing gets ignored, risk management takes a backseat
• Narratives pull focus away from fundamentals
• Exit timing slips—holders become bag holders
• The cycle repeats, same mistakes, different bull run

The pattern is always the same: whatever strategy printed last month gets neutralized the moment the crowd catches on and deploys capital accordingly. That's just how the game operates. Winners understand this rhythm; most don't until it's too late.

Really, the strategy that made money last month is useless next month, and that's why we've been losing money all along.

In simple terms, as soon as a profit-making strategy appears, it dies; the moment everyone follows the trend, it's over.

Exactly right. All the crypto traders around me are using this trick. They make a little profit in a month and then start leveraging, only to get brutally beaten in the opposite direction.

ngl the "exit timing slips" thing hits different after watching my portfolio turn into a therapy session... like have you ever considered your bag holding might be a trust issue manifesting in chart form? just saying

To be honest, the strategy that made money last month has become a slaughterhouse this month, and there's no way to avoid it.

ngl That's why 90% of people are just newbies, and they'll never learn the principle of shutup and hold.

ngl you're so right, I am that person who overtrades out of curiosity and gets trapped. Only after losing do I realize that stop-loss really needs to be set with a firm heart. It's always the same pitfall; switch to a different cycle and fall in again, can't hold it together. Honestly, seeing others' profitable strategies makes me want to copy, but rushing in all at once causes it to collapse. The worst feeling is when holding becomes like carrying a sack, haha. The ability to hold is really more difficult than trading skills.
