This Game Will Humble You

Let me just cut to the chase:

If you’re checking charts on your phone while taking a shit,
You’re not making it.

If you need a green candle just to feel confident,
You won’t make it.

If you’re doing half-assed TA on your phone, half-asleep in bed,
You’re not making it.

If you’re refreshing your portfolio every 5 minutes,
Guess what?
You. Won’t. Make. It.

Why Most Traders Fail

This game isn’t just about numbers, charts, or catching the next pump.

It’s about discipline, patience, and focus.
And if you’re treating this like a hobby,
The market will HUMBLE you. Fast.

Here’s why:

1. Impulse Trading Kills

   • Checking your phone every 5 minutes makes you reactive.

   • Reacting to every move? That’s how you overtrade, FOMO, and panic sell.

   💡 Example:
   You see your coin drop 10%, freak out, and sell…
   Only to watch it bounce 20% the next day.

2. Emotional Trading Is a Death Sentence

   • You’re euphoric on green days, depressed on red days.

   • That emotional rollercoaster blinds you to real opportunities.

   💡 Example:
   In 2021, people panic sold $ETH at $1,700 after a 40% dip...
   But the disciplined traders? They held and sold at $4,800 months later.

3. Lack of Preparation = Losses

   • Trying to analyze charts on your phone?
     That’s not trading—it’s gambling.

   • Without a solid strategy, you’re just guessing.

   💡 Example:
   A pro trader sets levels before the market opens.
   A rookie stares at candles all day, chasing pumps.

How to Actually Make It

Let’s get real. If you want to win in this market,
Here’s what you need to do:

1. Create a Trading Routine

   • Set aside time to analyze the market properly.

   • Use your laptop, not your phone. Treat this like a job, not a hobby.

2. Stop Micromanaging Your Portfolio

   • Have a plan. Stick to it.

   • Zoom out—watch the trend, not the noise.

3. Detach from Emotions

   • Accept that dips are normal.

   • Green candles don’t mean you’re a genius. Red ones don’t mean you’re doomed.

4. Build Conviction

   • Study your plays. Know why you’re holding.

   • Confidence comes from preparation, not hope.
