In the crypto world, people are divided into three types: foolish people, smart people, and wise people.
Foolish people: don’t know what they don’t know
Traits: After just making 20%, they think they’re a trading genius.
They chase highs and sell lows, go all-in on every bet, and never review their trades—because they don’t even know what there is to review.
Ending: In a bull market, they become the market’s cash machine (in reverse). In a bear market, they become the market’s grave.
Smart people: know what they don’t know
Traits: After losing once, they start to respect the market.
They begin learning position management, macro factors, and project fundamentals—because they know what they lack.
But they can fall into another trap: the more they learn, the more they dare not act.
Ending: They don’t lose huge sums anymore, but they also can’t make big money (knowledge-anxiety-driven sitting on the sidelines).
Wise people: know what they should know, and also know what they don’t need to know
They only study what they “should know,” and proactively ignore what they “don’t need to know.”
What they should know:
- Position management (the line between life and death)
- Where we are in the cycle (bull/bear stages)
- What they’re actually buying (asset characteristics)
What they don’t need to know:
- Whether it will go up or down tomorrow (nobody knows)
- Insider news in the group (99% is a trap)
- Every single “good piece of news” about every coin (information overload = noise)
How wise people act:
They make fewer moves—but every time it’s at a critical position.
Comparison of the three levels:
Foolish: ignorance → chaotic trading → losing money
Smart: knowing your ignorance → not daring to trade → mediocrity
Wise: selectively seeking knowledge → precise execution → making money
Final line:
First, admit what you don’t know (say goodbye to foolishness),
then learn what you don’t need to know (say goodbye to anxiety),
and finally only do what you “should know” (move toward wisdom).
Knowledge isn’t better when you have more—
the ability to filter noise is more valuable than the ability to obtain information.
