The general situation of retail investors may be what investors like you and me have experienced.

When the market rose by 10%, we cheered and thought it was a good opportunity, so we sold decisively and enjoyed the fruits of victory!

However, once the market fell by only 1%, we began to feel anxious, as if the whole world was collapsing, and we were afraid that our investment would be locked up.

This is exactly the true portrayal of many current cryptocurrency traders. So when can we really accumulate wealth?

Perhaps, we are all looking forward to the legendary 100x or 1,000x coin, which can soar into the sky once we catch it.

But what is the most important thing for retail investors?

Choosing the right currency? Actually not. Time? Not either.

The real key is the principal! Principal! Principal! Retail investors may have relatively ample time, but what is really valuable is the principal that can be continuously invested in the market. Only by ensuring the safety of the principal can we continue to participate at the poker table and find more opportunities.

Many people often regret missing out on a currency that has risen sharply and feel that they have earned less. But such an investment mentality is not healthy. We should understand that if we chase high prices after selling at a high price, we are often trapped at a high position, and our profit turns into loss. If we sell at a high price, at least we are still profitable. How much we earn is a personal cognition and judgment. Floating losses may put us in a deeper predicament.

Different currencies have different trends, some rise first, and some rise later. There are always opportunities, and we don't have to always pursue selling at the highest point. Because there are often huge risks near the high point. It is wise to be able to exit in time before the risk comes.

At the same time, we should not always fantasize about achieving a thousand or ten thousand times of profit through a certain currency. This idea of ​​getting rich overnight is often unrealistic. While pursuing high returns, we must also consider whether we can bear the corresponding risks. It is difficult for a person who often does short-term trading to truly grasp those long-term opportunities that can bring huge returns.

Therefore, for retail investors, the most important thing is to maintain a rational and stable investment mentality. On the premise of ensuring the safety of the principal, look for more investment opportunities and gradually accumulate wealth.In this way, we can go further and more steadily on the road of investment.
