Regarding BTC and the entire crypto market, there's a phenomenon that hits especially hard—many people have been messing around for years, and when they look back, their accounts are still the same.



How do truly profitable traders do it? It's actually very simple—four words: sit still. You read that right. The big profits in the market never belong to those who trade frequently; they belong to those who can endure, wait, and hold.

Why is that? Because the market itself doesn't make mistakes; traders do. Do you think the market is targeting you? That's just because you haven't truly aligned with the trend. Range-bound markets are playgrounds for retail traders; real trend profits go to those who understand the market rhythm.

In a bull market, what's the most common mistake? Selling too early. Not holding onto positions—that's the biggest gap between ordinary traders and top operators. When the trend is moving in your favor, do nothing—let time and trend work for you; when the market is still exploring, do nothing either—protecting your capital is more important than chasing gains.

Why do most people lose in the market? Because they only look at short-term fluctuations, only listen to market sentiment, and only want quick, huge profits. But the market's best at punishing this kind of behavior. The real logic of making big money is never on the daily chart; it's whether you can stay calm and patient.

Sitting still is indeed the truth, but it's easier said than done. I'm the kind of sucker who sells too early.

It sounds good, but how many people can truly stay calm? I'm the kind of person who always impulsively sells at critical moments.

Sitting still and listening to this theory a thousand times, few can truly put it into practice, including myself...

Honestly, selling early is really the biggest killer. I got cut twice last year this way, now I've learned not to move anything.

That's right, I am the kind of person who frequently operates until I ruin myself. Only now do I realize how difficult it is to sit still. --- Really, set your stop-loss and take-profit levels and then stop watching the market. Once you look, you want to operate, and as a result, you always end up losing. --- Not being able to hold is the real problem. I've seen so many people panic and sell at the top during a bull market, doubting their lives. --- That hits hard. Every time I think I can accurately short-term trade, I end up becoming a leek (retail investor). --- The worst thing is when the market moves in your favor but you panic and act rashly, basically fighting against yourself. --- I understand the principles, but I can't get past this mental hurdle. Watching my account fluctuate makes it impossible to stay calm. --- The fundamental reason I can't sit still is that my capital isn't enough. If I had enough passive income, who would still be glued to the screen?

I've truly understood the idea of sitting still, but it's easier to say than to do. When I see the price drop, I just want to cut my losses...

Sitting still and making money? I only know how to sit and lose money haha --- Exactly, it's about not holding on, panicking and selling at the first drop --- I've heard this theory too many times, but the problem is, who can really do it? --- It's not the account that hurts, but knowing this logic yet still unable to change oneself --- Frequent trading is indeed a killer for retail investors, but try holding long-term without checking the market, the psychological pressure can drive you crazy --- No problem, it's just that mental resilience is too difficult --- I've already discovered this pattern, but execution is the real obstacle --- Rather than sitting still, it's better to lie flat and relax, at least it's worry-free --- This statement is too heart-wrenching, I am the unlucky one who sold too early --- People who can stay calm are actually a minority, otherwise, how could there be a difference between retail investors and institutional players
