The biggest taboo in precious metals investing is impatience, followed by impulsiveness. Once you treat it as a task or a burden, you've already gone off track. Staring at the K-line every day, making yourself feel like you're on a battlefield, turns what should be an elegant activity into anxiety and distress.
Don't go in the wrong direction; those who move backward will only see tears and regrets in the end. In the market, there are butchers and sheep. Assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are like a survival race—antelopes run to stay alive, lions run to hunt. A single misstep by an antelope can be fatal, while for a lion, it's just a less satisfying meal.
Think about which side you're on. Your mindset determines the final outcome.

Uh, isn't it antelopes who stare at the market every day? I'm the one who got bitten several times but still refuses to run.

Sounds good, but 99% of people are still beaten into depression by the market.

nah this reads like someone who just discovered stoicism after a brutal liquidation lol. the "antelope vs lion" thing is cute but real talk—most people out here are neither, they're just bagholders coping. opportunity cost of watching charts 24/7 is insane anyway, capital could be doing actual work elsewhere. position sizing solves like 80% of this "emotional turmoil" they're describing honestly.

People who watch the market every day have long turned into sheep, and they can't wait for the moment of mental adjustment.

Those who watch the market every day are all antelopes; I am just the one who wakes up occasionally.

I'm constantly watching the K-line charts like that gazelle being chased—one wrong step and I lose everything.

nah this predator/prey framing is exactly backwards—real alphas don't panic, they just run sandwich attacks on the mempool while everyone else bleeds watching candles. psychology's weak sauce compared to actual edge.
