1. Are you the 'bag holder'?

To put it bluntly, the crypto world is a battlefield for harvesting retail investors. When you buy in, you might be at the end of the dealer's washout or become the last person to lift the burden.

• K-line scams: Many coins' K-line charts are artificially created. The dealer first entices you to buy, then cashes out at a high position. When you're overly confident and rush in, they've already slipped away.

• Market sentiment traps: When good news breaks, you rush to buy, but the dealer has already set up weeks in advance, waiting for you to take the bait.

2. Mindset issues: Buying out of fear of missing out, selling out of fear of losses.

Many times, our mindset is led by the market, and we end up digging our own graves.

• FOMO psychology: Seeing the coin surge, you can't help but rush in. Unfortunately, it's already at a temporary peak by then.

• Panic selling: Right after buying, if the price drops slightly, you start to panic, thinking you've made a bad investment, and hurriedly stop-loss. As soon as you sell, the price immediately rises, and you become a 'contributor' to the market movement.

Actually, the dealer is using your emotions to set the trap. When you chase after rising prices and sell in panic, they make a fortune.

3. The dealer's tricks are deep.

The crypto world is a high-leverage, low-regulation market, and the tricks that dealers play are beyond your imagination.

• Washing: First suppress the price to let retail investors cut losses, then buy low and later push it up.

• Counter-trading: When everyone thinks the price will rise, they suddenly dump, and when you think it's bottomed out, they buy back and push it up.

You think you are part of the market, but in the dealer's eyes, you are just a pawn, contributing to their transaction fees and liquidity as you enter and exit.

4. Solution: Make yourself 'smarter'.

Bro, don't lose heart. Learn from the losses; let’s summarize a few operational tips:

1. Don't chase highs and sell lows: Especially with coins that spike, first observe calmly for a few days, don't blindly follow.

2. Make a plan and operate in batches: Don't put all your position at stake at once. Enter in batches to lower your cost.

3. Learn to go against human nature: When most people in the market are panicking, you should dare to scoop up chips; when the market is crazy, you need to calmly withdraw.

4. Focus on fundamentals and timing: Clarify whether the project is a dealer's game. For long-term holding, choose coins with value and teams, don't rely solely on gambling.

You can always seize the next opportunity!

Bro, don't be too upset. Losing this time is just tuition. The market always has another wave of opportunities, but money earned by luck is often lost by skill. Next time, be patient, maintain your mindset, and don't let emotions sway you! Most people in the crypto world have stumbled through like this.

Remember this: What you earn is your life, and what you lose is tuition. As long as you're still here, the game isn't over!
