Many novice traders are eager to stay glued to their screens 24 hours a day, never leaving their phones, and are startled awake in the middle of the night by a single candlestick. If you are currently in this state, it's time to reflect.

This is often not genuine investment behavior but rather being hijacked by market sentiment. The ones who love to harvest profits the most are precisely these "can't leave the market" people. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to make poor decisions.

What is the reality? The trap-filled world of crypto assets has never been short of pitfalls. When you're inexperienced, the most dangerous thing is to go all-in right away. Use funds that won't affect your daily life even if lost entirely to practice, calmly explore the patterns, strictly follow your trading plan, avoid impulsive add-ons, and don't be swayed by market emotions—this is the smart approach.

Treat each mistake as paying tuition; in fact, this is the lowest-cost way to learn. Once you see through several rounds of market harvesting tricks, your mindset will naturally stabilize.

Another point that is easily overlooked: don't devote all your energy to the game of buying and selling for gains and losses. Opportunities in the crypto space are actually abundant—information gaps, cognitive depth, ecosystem connections—all can create real value. The sincerity of your thoughtful analysis and effective time investment will eventually be reflected by the market at some stage.

Stop obsessing over fantasies of getting rich quickly. In this market, the first skill to learn is how to survive steadily. Those who can persist long-term are the ones who will be qualified to enjoy the benefits of subsequent cycles.

The group of people who stare at the market every day will eventually get caught and doubt their life choices. --- To be honest, I've seen too many beginners get hijacked by the market right after entering, and the more anxious they get, the more they lose money. --- Is going all-in with a heavy position really a way to die? It's better to start with money you can afford to lose. --- The real way to make money in the crypto world isn't just watching K-lines; it's about digging for information gaps. --- What is it like to be awakened in the middle of the night by a single K-line... I’ve already kicked this habit. --- Survival is the first lesson; dreaming of getting rich quickly can wait until you're stable. --- Just treat pitfalls as paying tuition; after all, everyone has to learn sooner or later. It's better to learn cheaply. --- Look at those who make money—aren't they all calmly executing their plans? Emotional traders are usually the ones losing. --- There are plenty of opportunities in the crypto world; you don't necessarily have to fight on the charts. Even with limited knowledge, you can still earn. --- People who are hijacked by market sentiment are the easiest to be harvested; this really hits the mark.

That's right, those who watch the market 24/7 are all in the mentality of rookies. Haha, you got me there. I really did get woken up by a sudden drop late at night. Compared to going all-in, it's better to learn some ecosystem knowledge; earning from the knowledge gap is more stable. When your mentality is shattered, you're most likely to make wrong decisions. Only after experiencing losses do you understand this. Paying tuition is an inevitable part of the journey; without this process, you simply can't succeed. Don't put all your bets on trading; with so many tricks in the crypto world, it's impossible to be right every time. Once you calm down, you'll understand—there's no need to rush.

I'm just this kind of person, clearly being harvested, and only now realizing it. Staring at the market late at night really messes with your mind; I've even developed anxiety about it. That's right, don't go all-in; try small bets to test the waters. Those who can't leave the market are all rookies, I said that myself. The key is still the mindset; you can't rush this. Falling into traps is just a lesson; having paid tuition, I'm much more calm now. Don't just think about ups and downs; the real opportunities are elsewhere. Staying alive is more important than anything else; the mindset of sudden wealth needs to be abandoned.

Really, staring at the screen until you develop anxiety disorder—this is just too much The ones who get cut are always those who hold their phones and can't sleep Tuition must be paid, but not all at once for a year's share --- Honestly, it’s just about not messing around; living is more important than anything --- Poor cognition is what leads to long-term gains, not staring at K-line charts --- Newbies, take some advice: the outcome of going all-in is often just going all-in and losing everything --- I've heard this a hundred times, but I still want to rush when I see a limit-up, haha --- Mostly, I just don't want to admit that I am part of the group that got cut --- The most heartbreaking part is the second half: those who truly make big money in the crypto world never rely on trading single orders --- That moment when I sat up after a single K-line late at night, I was really touched—so authentic --- Instead of studying charts, it's better to study project teams; that's where the real threshold is --- It's easier to stop dreaming of getting rich quickly, but stopping watching the market is hard—honestly

Staying up late and being startled awake by K-line charts—basically, I haven't figured out what I'm doing yet. Going all-in like this has long been played out by seasoned newcomers; beginners are the most likely to fall for it. The ones who truly make money are never those who check the market ten times a day. It's better to study the ecosystem and information gaps carefully—those are the long-term things.

From a governance perspective, this is a typical incentive incompatibility problem—the psychological game theory of retail investors conflicts fundamentally with market mechanism design. Notably, on-chain behavior data of frequent traders shows that their probability of loss is three times higher than that of long-term holders.
