Most crypto traders fail not because they lack strategy—but because they can't stick to the plan. It's discipline, not brilliance, that separates winners from the rest.

That's a great point. The guys around me who are into trading cryptocurrencies are all the same—full of ideas about arbitrage opportunities. But as soon as the market fluctuates, they panic and forget their plans. The ones who actually make money are those who work quietly and don't make a fuss.

To be honest, this statement is so true. The friends around me who lost the most are all those with plans? It's just poor execution, selling off at the first drop, being greedy at the first rise, and simply can't stick to it.

ngl discipline is literally the hardest thing to execute... watched so many solid traders panic-sell at -15% then watch it 3x. reminds me of UST in May—everyone had the *theory* down but nobody could actually hodl through the noise.

honestly the discipline thing is so real it hurts. like i've seen people with legitimately solid strategies just paper hands the second there's a 15% dip lmao. proof sketch: most losses aren't from bad math, they're from bad impulse control. well technically speaking, it's a failure of execution not conception... which is somehow worse? imagine if we applied this rigor to peer review smh

lmao discipline yeah right. actually if you read the vesting schedules most "winners" just got lucky timing on their exit pumps. watched liquidations like netflix last cycle and the pattern's identical—textbook greater fool theory. called this months ago tbh
