Have you ever experienced moments like #大户持仓动态 ? When your earnings from a single trading cycle are equivalent to an ordinary person's entire month's salary, that feeling is truly indescribable. Staring at the account balance, your mind is already planning which restaurant to dine at tonight, fingers repeatedly hover over Moments, and in the end, you delete the post. That dream of financial freedom suddenly becomes vividly clear.
But turnarounds always come. One afternoon, opening the market app, you realize that unrealized gains are already equivalent to someone else's entire year's income. This time, there’s no screaming, no rush to share. Just quietly looking out the window for a while, then returning to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles, casually blanching some greens, and frying a half-bried egg. Curling up in the increasingly dark corner of the kitchen, not even turning on the light.
People outside imagine our daily life like this: eyes glued to the K-line chart, heartbeat rising and falling with the ups and downs, following the crowd to shout buy or sell in chat groups. What was my real afternoon like? When the market was hottest, I was watering plants on the balcony, watching the clouds slowly drift across the sky.
It’s not about pretending to be calm, but truly sensing a change. It’s not that money isn’t important, but gradually understanding—these short-term fluctuations can’t really shake my mood, so why react excessively?
I started viewing the absurdities of this circle from a new perspective. Yesterday, someone was cursing the project as a scam in the comment section; today, they quietly slide into private messages asking, "Is there a chance you can teach me?" Those newbies shouting "blockchain will change the world," are actually just burning with a desire for rapid digital growth. These contrasts all become understandable aspects of human nature.
True freedom isn’t about having a few more zeros behind your account; it’s about being able to calmly leave the screen when the entire market is in madness and panic. Fully finishing a bowl of noodles, truly savoring the aroma of scallions.
The stormy waves always exist. But I no longer need to prove to anyone that I am still riding the waves in this industry.
Once, I was exploring the market alone; now, it’s different—I turn around to illuminate those newcomers just entering. There are always opportunities in this market; the key is whether you have found your own rhythm.

well, *actually* if you look at the behavioral economics here, the whole "enlightenment through hodling" narrative is just survivorship bias dressed up with philosophy. most people doing this cope posting have just gotten lucky with timing, not achieved some transcendent state. show me the formal proof that emotional detachment correlates with better risk-adjusted returns or it's just cope tbh

Still have to eat noodles, no matter how much you earn in the crypto world, it's just so-so.
