#ETH走势分析 Yesterday I saw someone post something in the community, and it really hit home.



“People who trade are probably just not meant to have stable relationships.”

The reason was that his girlfriend broke up with him. When he switched phones, he casually turned off location sharing—a small action, but it became the last straw that broke their relationship. His girlfriend said he was always hiding something, and that the sense of distance she couldn’t quite explain kept growing.

He himself couldn’t say why he turned it off. Maybe after staring at charts for so long, he’s gotten used to being alert to all information? Or maybe he just didn’t want to be disturbed?

A few years back, when they first got together, he was still working as a security guard at a gated community. His girlfriend was already making over 30k a month, but she never looked down on him. On weekends, she’d buy groceries and come to his rented studio to cook, and at night, she’d keep him company during his shifts.

Later, he quit his job to trade crypto full-time. At first, he blew up his account several times in a row, but his girlfriend never said anything—they just kept living as usual. Gradually, he figured things out, his account balance started going up, and life visibly started getting better.

But their relationship actually faded.

When the market was good, he’d watch charts until 3 or 4 in the morning, forcing himself to stay awake just to see where that last candlestick closed. When he lost money, it was even worse—he felt completely drained, and whenever she asked anything, all he could say was “Yeah,” “Uh-huh,” or “Whatever.”

Before, he didn’t have money but had plenty of time. Now he has money but doesn’t even have the patience to have a proper conversation.

He said that the day his girlfriend broke up with him, she used a really brutal analogy: “You’re like an NPC who finished your mission, kept me company through the newbie village, and now it’s time for you to exit the stage.”

It’s pretty ironic. The people who stick with you through the toughest times are the ones you’re more likely to lose after you succeed. It’s not that you don’t love them anymore—it’s just that the way you love gets out of sync at some point, and by the time you realize it, it’s already too late to fix it.

In trading, your wins and losses are written all over your face. The market’s ups and downs directly affect your mood, and it’s hard not to let that spill over into your life. Maybe that’s the price—you focus on doing one thing well, and you’re bound to drop the ball somewhere else.

This story feels pretty upsetting to hear; it seems to describe a common problem among people like us. Once we've made money, we end up feeling even more lonely—ironic, isn't it?

Staring at the charts until my eyes go blind, but it's my heart that ends up blind.

Honestly, watching the charts to the point of losing your humanity—nobody's having a good time. --- This story is wild, that line from the newbie village NPC almost killed me laughing. --- At the end of the day, it's still greed. Making money actually makes people colder than when they're broke. Truly ironic. --- Being a full-time crypto trader is like this. Staring at candlesticks at 3 or 4 in the morning, you stop being human. --- Changing phones and turning off location—this little detail is really a microcosm of the whole problem. --- When you have money, you don't have the patience to talk to people. The real loss in this business isn't the coins—it's the relationships. --- I always say some people just aren't cut out to make money and date at the same time. You really can't have both.

Damn, this story really hit me. I totally get that feeling of constantly watching the charts—I just can't shut my brain off.

Staring at the charts until you lose your humanity isn't a trading occupational hazard; it's a matter of choice.

Staring at the charts until you lose all humanity, right? I've been through that too. Now I force myself to close the app at 10 PM every night, otherwise I'll really turn into a robot.
