#比特币对比代币化黄金 How many people have fantasized about seizing the get-rich-quick myth of the crypto world? But in reality, the vast majority of retail investors can’t even catch a glimpse of the taillights.

Why? Because the path to getting rich you imagine looks like this: buy low → 100x pump → sell at the top → achieve financial freedom.

But 99% of people are actually going down a different road: buying high and holding the bag → portfolio cut in half and trapped → panic sell at a loss → chasing the rebound → going all-in with leverage → getting liquidated → ending up deep in debt.

What’s the root cause? To put it simply: can’t hold.

Those coins that later go up 100x usually require research and positioning 1 to 2 years in advance. How many ordinary people have that kind of discipline? Seeing others show off their gains makes you impatient to jump in. And when it finally pumps? You can’t bear to sell, always thinking, “If I wait a bit longer, it’ll definitely go higher.” Then a big red candle comes down and you’re buried alive.

It’s even worse when it crashes—holding on, fantasizing about a rebound, only to end up at zero. LUNA was once a star project with a market cap of billions. When it collapsed, it just collapsed; so many people didn’t even get the chance to run.

The ones who truly make money in this market are never those shouting “the bull market is here!” every day. It’s the minority who quietly research fundamentals during crashes, buy in gradually when no one is paying attention, then lock up their positions with a strategy, and let time work for their gains.

If you can’t hold your winners and can’t stand the drawdowns, then the crypto market is nothing more than a “money shredder” that amplifies human weaknesses tenfold.

Don’t want to be exit liquidity? First, learn not to chase pumps. Then, train yourself to hold. Short-term gains rely on luck; long-term gains rely on understanding. It’s an old saying, but the truth is often that simple.
