The biggest root cause of retail traders speculating in cryptocurrencies is often not a lack of dreams, but an inflation of desires that spirals out of control.

You save some money and buy a coin, and the next day you start dreaming—doubling today, then doubling again tomorrow. When the price drops by 2%, your mentality collapses, and you start blaming others, cursing your luck, as if you've been tricked.

But what is the reality? No asset can only go up and never down forever. Most of what can be achieved are stories packaged by scammers.

An ancient saying goes: "When the heart is settled, there is peace; when the heart has no support, there is chaos."

In investing, it's not about how sharp your vision is, but whether you can keep your heart steady. People who are constantly anxious and uncertain will not experience long-term wealth growth. Conversely, those who can grasp the rhythm and are not hostage to short-term fluctuations are the ones who can accumulate real chips in the market.

Fluctuations of a few percentage points during non-farm payroll releases are not that critical for long-term investors. The key is whether you can stay with your chosen asset through a full cycle.
