🔍 The Gap Between Fantasy and Reality in the Crypto World: Why Are We Always Struggling to Stay Calm?
Many novice investors enter the crypto world with a beautiful fantasy of 'only earning, never losing.' Investing 10,000 yuan, they think that as long as they can achieve a 100-fold return, waiting for 10 years is okay. However, the reality in the crypto world is often harsher than imagined. Below are two typical situations that illustrate the extreme fluctuations in investor sentiment and common misjudgments:
Situation One: Repeated Hesitation Amidst Fluctuations
Initial investment of 10,000 yuan, the next day the assets shrink to 5,000 yuan, anxiety and unease quickly take over. Every night, upon waking, you can't help but check the market, filled with the impulse to cut losses, thinking 'I'll sell as long as I break even.' However, as time goes by, the assets slightly rebound to 9,000 yuan, and you begin to hesitate, wondering if selling would mean missing a bigger opportunity. Then, the coin price drops again, your faith is completely exhausted, and finally, when the coin price rebounds to 6,000 yuan, you decide to cut losses and exit.
This situation illustrates an important lesson: In the crypto world, emotional decision-making often leads to missing the best exit opportunities.
Situation Two: Small Gains, Big Losses, A Vicious Cycle of Chasing and Cutting
Investing 10,000 yuan, a few months later the assets appreciate to 12,000 yuan. You decisively sell, hoping for a lower buying opportunity. As a result, the coin price continues to rise to 15,000, 20,000 yuan, and out of fear of missing out, you chase and buy at a high price, ultimately doubling your cost. Following this, the coin price plummets, and the assets fall back to 6,000 yuan, resulting in heavy losses.
This repeated behavior of chasing highs and cutting losses is precisely the most common loss trap in the crypto world. Most investors cannot control their emotions, blindly following trends and chasing highs, ultimately leading to being 'repaired' by the market.
The Truth: Investors Must Learn to Endure Losses
These two situations actually tell us a cruel fact: In the crypto world, losses are inevitable. Learning to endure losses and draw lessons from them is key to successful investing. Otherwise, no matter how many times the market rises, opportunities may be missed due to emotional fluctuations.
