Bitcoin has gained another 700 points. Many people are chasing the market signals and busy predicting the future trend, but those who truly make money know — these are all illusions. The key lies in two things: first, a deep understanding of market structure; second, risk management capabilities. Many fail because they lack discipline and patience. Strong execution and a steady mindset are the most valuable assets of a mature trader. Instead of obsessing over how much BTC will be worth next year, it's better to focus on executing each current trade solidly and controlling risks properly. Market opportunities are always there, but your capital is only one.

That's so true, as I always say—mindset and discipline are the moat that protect your ability to make money.

That was really harsh, but it truly hit home. I've already muted those who call signals every day; I should just focus on my own stop-loss levels.

That's right, it's just that the execution stage has caused many people to get stuck. I've seen too many prediction experts, each one better at storytelling, yet they are the ones who end up liquidated.

Exactly right, it's all about mindset and discipline; everything else is pointless.

Well said, but those who constantly call for trades always end up losing due to their mindset.

The gist is simple and straightforward, this is really how it is.

That's right, but the two words "discipline" are hard. I've seen too many people who are very good at risk management, but as soon as the market fluctuates, they forget everything.

According to the database, this motivational article has inspired multiple batches of retail investors since its release. It has been so long since the last similar promise... Never mind, I won't count it, numbers can be upsetting. By the way, those who manage risk well do make money, but those who are selected to tell stories habitually overlook—market structure understanding and execution ability. Even in the 2018 bear market, they couldn't save many. I suggest adding "Stay Calm" to the Guinness World Records; what will eventually be achieved is—when the next market cycle comes, this paragraph will be brought up again.

That's right, discipline truly separates the profitable people from the cannon fodder.

That's right, mindset and discipline are the core of making money. The approach of predicting market trends should have been abandoned long ago.
