There are plenty of people with guts. The rare ones are those who stay in the game.
I used to think you had to be bold to make big money in crypto. It took a few major drawdowns for me to realize that the truly tough ones are those who can keep their position size in check—and keep their hands off the buy button.
When I first got into crypto, I loved going all in. Whenever the market started moving, I never stopped to think about the risks; all I could think about was how much I’d make if the trade worked out. That mindset is dangerous: wins make you overconfident, losses make you refuse to accept defeat, and the more you refuse to accept it, the more you want to add to your position. Before you know it, one small mistake has turned into a huge loss.
As my account gradually grew, I actually became more cautious. It’s not that I’m afraid of the market—I know it punishes people who get carried away. Now, before every trade, I ask myself three questions: How much will I lose if I’m wrong? Can I accept that loss? And will I still have another opportunity afterward? If I can’t answer all three, I’d rather sit it out.
A lot of people look down on this slower approach and say it’s not exciting enough. But what determines whether you can last in trading has never been how boldly you charge in—it’s whether you’ve worked out your way out before you do. There are plenty of people with guts in crypto. The rare ones are those who stay in the game.
