There was a novice who entered the cryptocurrency world. He heard that his friends had made quite a bit of money, so he decided to give it a try. When he made his first purchase, he was optimistic about a certain coin and confidently invested all his funds. As soon as he bought in, the price began to drop.
He didn't panic, thinking to himself: "It’s okay if it drops, I'll wait for it to go back up." Then he started to keep an eye on this coin, checking the price almost every hour, afraid of missing the chance for a rebound.
A few days later, the price indeed started to rebound. The novice saw the red increase and couldn't help but feel excited, he immediately sold it, making a small profit. He was as happy as if he had won a prize, boasting about his "investment talent" to everyone.
But after a week, he noticed that the coin had started to rise dramatically again, far exceeding the price at which he sold. He was stunned, suddenly realizing a truth: the market does not move according to your plans; the money others make is not your money, and the money you make may not necessarily be market money.
From then on, he decided not to watch the ups and downs anymore, but to adjust his mindset, "After buying, just sleep, and don’t wake up until it’s profitable."
