💭 A few thoughts on my mind today
Another day of declines.
Honestly, lately I haven't had much energy to look into those so-called positive news stories.
I used to follow CAKE burn data, protocol revenue, and BNB Chain's growth every day, trying to find reasons for a future price rise in all kinds of information.
I'm slowly realizing that researching a project and making money from investing are two completely different things.
A project can have solid fundamentals, but the market may not recognize them when you expect it to.
I used to think that CAKE had real revenue, a token-burning mechanism, and a place in the DeFi sector, so it should have promising long-term potential.
It wasn't until recently that I truly realized:
The hardest part of investing isn't a sudden crash on any given day. It's repeatedly hoping for a rebound, only to find that prices are still slowly falling.
I've also been thinking about leaving crypto these past few days.
It's not that I've completely lost faith in the future. I just suddenly feel like I've already spent too much energy on this market.
Watching price movements every day, researching all kinds of news, to the point where it's even starting to affect my life.
I started asking myself:
If I leave now and CAKE really goes up in the future, will I regret it?
Maybe I will.
But if I stay in the market and prices keep falling, how much more emotional strain will I have to endure?
I used to be afraid of missing out on a huge surge. Now I'm more afraid of losing my life outside the market.
I've also gradually come to accept one thing: There will always be opportunities in the market, but not every opportunity has to be mine.
I'll still follow the development of DeFi and blockchain in the future, but I'll pay more attention to risk, position sizing, and my own well-being.
I won't blindly add to my position just to break even, or keep taking risks because I can't accept a temporary setback.
As for how high CAKE will ultimately go, I don't know.
I only know that now I should start focusing more of my attention on myself.
📌 One-Year Investment Plan | Day 12 / 365
I originally planned to spend a year documenting how I make money through cryptocurrency.
I didn't expect to go through so many emotional ups and downs right from the start.
Perhaps what's truly important in investing isn't catching every rise, but knowing when to hold on and when to let go.
The market never closes, but life can't be all about trading.
I'll keep documenting, and stay true to what I really feel.
I won't hide my losses, sugarcoat investing, or stay fixated on making my money back.
I hope that one day, I can find peace in my life again.
