I used to think this way too— as long as you find the right direction and grasp the rhythm, anyone can profit easily during a bull run.

Now I understand that what really eats away at your profits is not a single decision-making mistake, but rather those things that you haven't calculated clearly in the usual course.

Gas fees, transaction fees, cross-chain costs... When viewed individually, they may not seem significant, but over a longer timeline, they turn into a continuous and hidden bleeding. Those seemingly trivial rates can accumulate enough to consume the profits of a bull run.

Later, the reason is quite straightforward – rather than pondering every day about how much the floating profit can rise, it is better to honestly calculate what the cost is. Only by laying out the actual situation can trading decisions be free from the shackles of illusion.

Indeed, I've also suffered losses in terms of fees; after a month, the gas fees consumed half a month's earnings. --- To be honest, most people who stare at the rise every day haven't really calculated how much they've spent. --- This is why some people trade daily and end up losing; they are completely unaware that the fees are eating away at them. --- It's easy to make money in a bull run, but hidden costs can quietly drain your account; the more active you are, the more you bleed. --- Fortunately, I've realized this now; otherwise, if I continue trading like this, all my earnings would be working for the platform. --- The cross-chain fees are so high, yet I have to cross frequently; sometimes I really can't understand why I don't just choose a cheaper chain. --- My current strategy is to minimize operations: earning 20% a year with no fees vs. earning 50% a year but incurring 30% costs, I choose the former. --- In the past, I looked at others sharing their earnings; now I understand that those were pre-tax figures, and it's good if you actually get half.

Indeed, I've also fallen into the trap of this fee black hole. After calculating, I found that I burned half a month's profit in gas in just one year, which is ridiculous.

This realization comes a bit late, huh? Gas fees are indeed an invisible knife. --- You're right, I've also been caught by these hidden costs, regretting every cross-chain transaction. --- Staring at Candlestick charts every day, but getting crushed by transaction fees, it's laughable. --- Really, calculating costs clearly is much more important than predicting the rise. --- All the money earned during the bull run has been eaten up by these miscellaneous fees, who can we blame? --- I just want to know how to minimize the damage caused by these fees, any tips from everyone?
