#比特币流动性 My friend's account was messed up by altcoins to the point where he only had a little over $2,000 left, and he came to me crying: "I can't hold on anymore."



The problem isn't his technical skills, but his inability to control himself—afraid of missing out when prices go up, afraid of bankruptcy when they go down. After a day of trading, whether he made money or not is secondary; his mindset has already been drained.

I didn't give him any motivational talk, just said one thing: This amount of funds isn't for a comeback; it's paying tuition. The longest-standing people in the market all understand the principle of "slowing down." When the market is unclear, staying in cash is a skill—more difficult than blindly making moves.

He started breaking his orders into smaller parts, so even if he lost, it wouldn't be much. Every stop-loss was just a small episode, not a fatal blow. Gradually, "losing a little each day" turned into "steady profits over several days." Once the rhythm stabilized, his mindset naturally changed.

Later, his biggest gain wasn't how much he earned on a single trade, but asking himself one more question before each trade: "Does this trade match my current state?" After a few months, the numbers in his account had changed completely. No magic tricks, just repeatedly solidifying his basic skills.

If you're also repeatedly trying and failing with coins like $SOL, and you're exhausted, don't rush to prove anything. Market opportunities are always there, but what’s truly lacking is the discipline to control yourself and withstand boredom. Slow down, be steady, and stop messing around. From blindly crashing into walls in the dark, now at least you hold a torch—it's still burning. The question is, are you willing to follow and keep going?

Really, frequent trading is the beginning of a mental breakdown. I've seen too many cases. This is the true nature of trading: holding back and not acting can actually make you money. Splitting into smaller units is a trick I also use, reducing psychological pressure and being able to afford losses. SOL indeed drives people crazy; it's better to calm down and think about whether it's worth it. If you can't see the market clearly, don't move. This awareness can save your life. Basically, it's about self-discipline. Very few people can stick to an all-cash position. Back then, I was also losing a chunk every day, but later I realized that scale is much more important than frequency.

Really, mindset is worth much more than skills, to be honest. --- Over $2000 still in loss, which means you haven't hit bottom yet. Keep holding on, and you're not far from zeroing out. --- Holding a vacant position is also a form of trading, this statement hits home. --- I've also used the trick of splitting small orders, it can indeed help you survive a bit longer, rather than going all-in and losing everything at once. --- I'm just afraid that some people, after reading this, still can't change and will rush in again when the next market wave hits. --- From anxiety about missing out to fear of being trapped, constantly flipping back and forth, losing time and fees, and losing your mindset long ago. --- People who can resist acting are really rare; most people just can't hold back. --- Whether you deserve the current state or not, this question is too harsh. It takes a lot of self-discipline to ask yourself every time. --- Taking it slow is right, but the market's pace is so fast that it's a bit crazy, I really can't keep up.

Really, constantly manipulating is like working for the exchange. Once your mindset collapses, your account is done.
