#美联储重启降息步伐 Have you seen the crazy run from 2020 to 2021? A friend's account balance actually shot up to 8 digits.



No showing off on social media, no bragging everywhere—just waking up every morning watching the numbers climb, knowing deep down: this time, I’ve finally made it.

But what’s the most painful part? In that bull run, most people didn’t “make less,” they simply had no idea if they’d made anything at all. Some even ended up with less the more they tried.

You might have seen these situations:
Going all-in on a coin, refusing to sell when it pumps, and then riding it all the way back down;
After being carried by major coins, jumping into random small projects only to get stuck and doubt everything;
Seeing your portfolio double, but giving up all profits as soon as a correction hits;
Even after cashing out, throwing money back into the market and ending up with a lower net worth than before the bull run.

You think you’re riding the market? In reality, you’re just a passerby.

So why was he able to lock in profits in that big cycle?

It’s not that he had better foresight, better info, or was more willing to gamble.

It’s because he figured out one thing early: A bull market isn’t for “having fun,” it’s for “cashing in on your previous efforts.”

When things were at their craziest, he ignored the hype coins and focused on just three things:

Only getting in after the trend was confirmed;
Always executing when the take-profit point was reached;
Taking profits and walking away—no overtrading, no looking back.

Others traded passion for liquidation, he traded discipline for doubling his capital.

After seven years in the crypto market, I’ve seen too many “overnight riches and overnight wipeouts” and countless retail traders who are “geniuses in a pump, victims in a dump.”

But one thing never changes:
Only the numbers you can withdraw count as earnings;
Only the numbers you can keep count as strength.

He’s made it out—what about you?

Ask yourself: Are you going to stay a sheep forever, or do you want to be the one still smiling at the end?

Keep following: $ZEC $FHE $ETH $BTC $SOL $XRP $DOGE
ZEC-10,6%
FHE3,56%
ETH-0,71%
BTC-0,92%

To be honest, discipline is the hardest thing to stick to... When you see others going all-in on meme coins and making huge gains, it's really tempting to follow, but looking back at what I've already cashed out early, I still sleep better at night.

To be honest, half the people really made money, and the other half are just fooling themselves. I'm the latter, haha.

To be honest, I’m the kind of fool who can’t bear to sell when the price is going up.

yeah ngl the "discipline over greed" bit hits different... seen too many bleed opportunity cost chasing moonshots instead of just taking the W at predetermined exit points. that's literally just basic capital utilization lol

Sounds nice, but to put it bluntly, it’s just good luck and catching the right trend.
