In this round of the market, the real enemy is actually hidden in the heart. The manipulators and regulators are not the most difficult to deal with; the hardest to handle are greed and panic—control these two, and you've already won.

Recently, the market has indeed been quite dull. Bitcoin has been hovering around 87,500, with no significant movement even on Christmas Day. USDT has even fallen below 6.9, and those looking to buy the dip have long run out of ammunition. The major coins are also showing weakness; BNB is trading sideways around 836, with no signs of strength. Some say next year will be a complete bear market; if a rebound does occur, it’s best to clear out your positions now and not wait for miracles. That’s how the market is—what tests the most is still personal resolve.

BTC0,77%

BNB0,92%

Well, to put it simply, it's a mindset issue. What I'm most afraid of right now is following the trend and cutting losses. Greed is really poison. Seeing 87500 makes me want to go all in, and my hands tremble. If the market is flat, then it's flat. Anyway, I've already run out of ammunition, lying flat is the most comfortable. The real test now is to see who can endure and be patient, and not be controlled by emotions. That's right, the market makers aren't that scary; your own desires are the real killers.

That's right, greed and fear are the biggest killers. I have experienced this deeply. With the market so frustrating, let's see who can hold on. I really can't wait any longer. Staying at the 87500 level for so long, without patience, I would have been washed out long ago. Inner demons are the hardest to fight; no matter how cunning the market makers are, their greed is more dangerous. This market exposes people's worst instincts clearly. Basically, it's a test of who has a strong enough psychological resilience. Don't think you can turn things around by luck.

You're not wrong; greed killing people is the most extreme in the crypto world. Ugh, it's this kind of market again. It's really exhausting, might as well just sleep. Mindset... It's easy to say but also hard to do. The key is whether you can hold on. I'm like this right now, doing nothing, just getting annoyed watching, waiting until next year.

honestly the psychological warfare angle is statistically significant here—if we run a basic regression analysis on historical drawdowns, emotional traders underperform by roughly 47% vs disciplined holders, ceteris paribus. the real market inefficiency isn't price action, it's behavioral irrationality.

That's right, greed and fear are truly the biggest stumbling blocks on the road to making money. Those who can't endure it have probably been washed out now; what's left depends on who has a steady mindset.

That's right, it's really the hardest to overcome the mental barrier. I got liquidated three times last year because of greed. Now I've learned to be smart—if I don't understand, I don't move.

That's right, it's really the most difficult part of the mental barrier. In the past half month, just by resisting and not entering the market, I've saved a lot of tuition fees. Those who can't hold back have long been washed out, and those still waiting for a rebound are nine out of ten likely to be the bagholders. The 87500 level repeatedly tests, and it seems to be wearing down people's willpower.
