A few days ago, I recovered my losses and thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. But greed took over, and yesterday I still couldn't escape the fate of being caught in a trap—although the fluctuation was small, it triggered a deep-seated fear within me. Suddenly, I realized how fragile I am.
The biggest opponent in trading has never been market volatility or others, but the greedy, hesitant, easily panicked self in the mirror. Once I saw this clearly, the fear instead transformed into a kind of clarity. The rise and fall of Bitcoin and Ethereum prices ultimately test human nature.

Greed is truly a devil; the profits that were regained are gone just like that... It's when I reflect that I am most clear-headed, yet next time I will have to repeat this trap.
If the mindset is not right, any technique is useless; it's just a struggle against myself.
To see oneself clearly, one indeed needs to be trapped a few times; this wave of loss was worth it.

This is the curse of the crypto world, it goes up and down, always spinning in this cycle.
Greed is truly a demon of the heart, and I was also played for a sucker like this...
It sounds harsh, but it's true, the biggest enemy is that restless heart of your own.

Bro, your words really hit me, seriously... pulling back only to fall again, that feeling of endless cycles, who understands?
Greed is like a drug addiction, you can't just quit when you say you will, the person in the mirror is the biggest enemy, that's true.

Greed is really the biggest pit in trading. After breaking even, you want to earn a little more, and as a result, you get caught off guard. That's right, the hardest part is never predicting the market correctly, but controlling your greedy heart.

Here we go again with this mirror theory. It sounds quite profound, but when it comes to the critical moment, it's still the same old shaky hands.

Can't stop once again, huh? I really understand this feeling haha
Really, greed is more deadly than the decline itself
The person in the mirror is the biggest enemy, truly speaking
Every time I think about earning a little more, and then...
Got it, got it. Self-discipline is the ultimate moat
