Previously I thought that trading, like any other industry,
was the same: as long as you worked hard enough, you could get ahead. So I stared at the charts for 16 hours every day—drawing K-line charts over and over, studying dozens of indicators, scrolling the news nonstop for 24 hours. Even when I slept, I kept my phone under my pillow. Whenever the market moved, I’d wake up. And what happened? The harder I tried, the more I lost.
Later, it gradually clicked for me: Trading isn’t like construction work. It’s not that if you do one more hour, you’ll earn one more hour of money. Quite the opposite. The more frequently you trade, the higher the probability you’ll make mistakes. The truly profitable trades are often the ones you wait for, not the ones you force into existence. Patience—waiting for the right opportunity, patiently holding the correct position, patiently letting profits grow on their own— those stretches of time when it feels like you’re doing nothing, are actually the most valuable part of trading.
It’s kind of ironic when you think about it: When I first started, I was always hunting for opportunities, always wanting to trade. In the end, I lost terribly. Now, I might only make trades once or twice a week— and yet I earn more than before. So sometimes I wonder: are we really competing with the market, or are we competing with our own “reluctance”? Reluctant to miss any market move, reluctant to let the money in the account sit idle, reluctant to just watch other people make money… In the end, I realized: all that reluctance is a trap. Slow down. Do less. And you’ll go farther.
Sun Yuchen’s piece titled “My Girlfriend Jing Tian” has cornered all the trending topics on the entire Chinese internet. My first reaction was to laugh; and as I kept laughing, I thought—this is just too “Sun Yuchen.”
A man with a net worth of $8.5 billion, for more than $30 million in bride price, lays out details of his ex-girlfriend’s private life for the whole internet to watch. You say he’s short on money? No way. You say he’s deeply devoted? Even the ending has a line that says, “This article is entirely fictional.”
It’s like the pump-and-dump tactics commonly seen in the crypto circle—you think it’s value discovery, but in reality it’s attention being cashed out. Sun Yuchen has always understood this: the Buffett lunch was filmed and then he didn’t go, using the heat for two waves; he paid $6.2 million for a banana and ate it publicly, getting headlines everywhere. His life is a continuous “market-making” of attention—every incident is like an “on-chain” moment, turning controversy, gossip, and shock value into traffic and exposure.
But you need to see the essence clearly: attention can pump prices, and it can also dump them. The most worth-guarding in this incident isn’t the melodramatic plot—it’s that the founder’s public-opinion risk is now transmitting to related assets. Tron TRX, HTX, and the Trump coin he’s deeply tied to are, in essence, “Sun Yuchen concept stocks.” When the founder’s public image shifts from “the king of crypto marketing” to “the male lead in a relationship dispute,” the fragility of the chip structure gets amplified.
More subtly, there’s the detail that’s been mentioned again and again: when Jing Tian asked him, “Can you come to Beijing?” he went silent. Behind that silence lie questions about travel restrictions, regulatory risk, and asset liquidity. For someone who can’t even get back to the capital, how much of his wealth is paper glory, and how much is real cash in hand—let the market weigh it.
Gossip is for looking at, not for paying for the story. The iron rules of the crypto world have never changed: the more noisy the founder is, the more calmly you must think. He’s cashed in all that attention—yet you might end up becoming the cost of the attention economy.

Don’t be optimistic and interpret Vosh’s remarks as a straightforward positive for rate cuts this time. He clearly stated that the 2% inflation target will not change, but the current data is not yet sufficient to prove that inflation is returning to 2% quickly. This is crucial. What the market wants to trade most right now is a rate cut—but what the Fed truly cares about is inflation. If the subsequent PCE and CPI data continue to improve, expectations for easing will naturally heat up; but if inflation proves to be erratic, rate-cut expectations will be repriced just the same. So at this stage, I actually think we should stay a bit cautious. The market can price in rate-cut expectations early, but before liquidity truly turns more accommodative, expectations are ultimately just expectations. The hotter the market has been recently, the more you can’t look at only prices—the macro story hasn’t really run its full course yet.
Let me say something that might get me criticized:
If you’re going all-in around the $80,000 BTC level, you’re either a real pro or a real rookie.
From $62,000 to $79,000—up 27% in two weeks.
It moves fast, but the risk isn’t small either.
At the $80,000 level, there’s resistance from the previous highs above, and selling pressure from profit-takers below—no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like a place for “safe full allocation.”
But I also understand those who are fully allocated:
After being sidelined for more than half a month, you finally chased in—while everyone around you is making money. It creates anxiety. You believe the bull market just started. To you, $80,000 is only the foot of the mountain.
With trading, though, position management matters more than directional judgment.
If you get the direction wrong, with a lighter position you can still hold on;
If you get the direction right, with a heavy position one pullback can wipe you out.
After three years of trading, the most important lesson I learned: accepting imperfection
Every night, I review the market. Sitting in front of my computer, I’d just stare for a while.
Then it hit me—three years ago, when I first entered the market, I was always chasing perfect trades—
Buy the dip at the absolute lowest point, exit at the exact highest point. Every single trade must be profitable.
So what happened?
The more I pursued perfection, the easier it was to miss the move; the more I feared losses, the more likely I was to get trapped.
Trading is like grabbing sand. The tighter you clench, the faster it slips through.
Later, I slowly figured it out—
Don’t chase the fish head, don’t chase the fish tail. Only eat the fattest part of the fish. Out of ten trades, being right on six and wrong on four is already when skilled traders make more when they’re winning and lose less when they’re not. Over the long run, that’s how you win.
Like this round of the market: I didn’t buy all the way down at 62,000, and I didn’t sell at the peak at 79,000.
But in the middle stretch, I held steadily.
The highest level of trading isn’t getting every trade right—it’s being able to afford the mistakes and hold your ground when you’re right.
Life is the same.
There’s no perfect choice—only the choices you make, and then making them the right ones.
In this rebound, were you sidelined and missed the boat, chased in mid-way and ended up stuck, or did you steadily take a bite and come out ahead? Come clean.
First, let me confess: I’m in the third category—I steadily rode the middle portion, and made about 15% profit.
I didn’t dare bottom-fish at 62,000, afraid there might be even lower prices; I started cutting my position at 78,000, afraid of getting hit by a pullback.
I didn’t fully eat from both ends, but the middle meat was chewed up thoroughly and reliably.
Trading is like eating sugarcane. You can’t get sweet from start to finish. If you can manage to eat the sweetest part in the middle, you’ve already outperformed 80% of people.
Now let’s count:
If you were sidelined and missed it, comment “1”. If you chased in mid-way and got trapped, comment “2”. If you’re like me and actually came out ahead, comment “3”.
Let me see which side has the most people. The side with more people is probably the one that’s wrong.
Woke up this morning and checked the market—after BTC touched 79,200, it got smashed back down again. A lot of people are starting to panic. But let me say this: don’t just focus on BTC—this wave in ETH is the real powerhouse.
Let me share a few key numbers:
BTC’s current price is 78,800, up 0.2% over the past 24 hours. The resistance in the 79,000–80,000 range is indeed strong. ETH’s current price is 2,495. Up 2% over the past 24 hours. Its 30-day cumulative gain is 27%, which is exactly 7 percentage points stronger than BTC. ETF net inflows have continued for 7 straight days. BTC’s cumulative net inflow is $2.57 billion. ETH has also been rising for 7 consecutive days.
Why do I say ETH might be the next star?
It’s simple: BTC is like a large-cap stock—stable, but with limited upside volatility. ETH is more like a growth stock. Once a bull market is confirmed, ETH’s gains often crush BTC’s.
Also, there’s a detail you may have noticed recently—Bitmine bought 32,000 ETH in a week. Its holdings are up to 5.85 million ETH. That’s not an amount retail investors can play with.
Right now, the market feels like a seesaw. Too many people are on the BTC side, so it won’t move. On the ETH side, new capital has just entered and hasn’t reached the peak yet.
My plan: keep BTC at half position unchanged. Add another 20% position to ETH. Set a stop-loss at 2,400, with an initial target of 2,700.
Do you think this ETH move can outperform BTC? Vote in the comments.
In recent times, tensions in geopolitics have eased, and oil prices promptly fell 8%. In addition, various U.S. economic indicators have also cooled, providing a step toward Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts and strengthening market expectations for a rate cut.
After Trump took the stage in support of crypto, BTC promptly surged 25%.
Now, aside from BTC not yet breaking the previous high, assets like ETH and SOL have both broken through the most recent valid resistance level.
At present, as long as BTC fails to effectively break 828, and a pullback also cannot break 74500, we will continue to look bearish. However, the long-term bearish view must always be on guard against the possibility that a bull market is beginning.
So for the near term, we should still expect range-bound movement—let the bullish momentum digest. Now we can patiently wait for the trading range to form, then trade it a few times; that should be enough to profit.
The yen’s main upward surge is about to begin. After a brief consolidation at the bottom, it should trigger at least one round of gains of no less than 30%.
