****About profits and losses****

On days of sharp declines, like the last few days, what we see most here are extremely frustrated people, complaining about their losses and that they were deceived, etc. Well, let's think together about a reality when investing in high-risk and volatile assets.

Profit: when the market goes up and your investments are green, many people make the mistake of thinking they are making a profit, but understand one thing: profit is when the money is in your pocket, period! As long as your money is allocated to some asset and it shows gains, this is nothing but a potential profit! If you don't realize it, it's not a profit! Thinking that allocated money is profit is the basis for frustration when the market falls.

Losses: in the same way, when everything is down and your account shows losses, don't get too desperate and frustrated, because if your money is allocated, this is nothing but a potential loss! If you don't realize it, it's not a loss! If the asset is good and has a good history of recovering after a fall, do nothing, if possible, and don't even look at it during periods of decline; it will soon recover. The secret is blessed patience.

A lack of patience (and a cool head, lol) makes people sell at a loss and days later everything goes up and frustration increases and you think you're being fooled.

Almost always, the speed at which it falls is greater than the speed at which it goes up, because if an asset falls 20%, it will need to rise 25% to reach the same price as before the fall, which is why it seems to take a long time to rise and you start making money again.

Avoid getting too emotional, both when it's up (holding on and not realizing your profit) and when it's down (realizing losses).

Understand, whales and big investors feed on your frustration and lack of patience. Don't be food for them!
