I used to be heavily in debt, and back then I was bold, consistently investing in fan coins and holding onto them. Today, SANTOS has doubled, and CHZ has also doubled in value. This afternoon, I also reminded friends in the group to watch out for FUN, which has increased by about forty points.

Now I’ve become much more cautious. To be honest, this caution has caused me to miss many opportunities, but it also helps me live more easily. Instead of desperately chasing every market wave, it’s better to focus on those assets with high certainty and build large positions—this feeling is actually quite comfortable.

I can’t seize every opportunity, that’s not realistic. I only make money within my understanding—this is something I’ve realized over the past few years.

SANTOS4,74%

CHZ7,72%

FUN-11,36%

Really, this change in mindset is so genuine. I used to chase gains and sell on dips, but now I'm more stable. FUN gained forty points, missing out isn't a loss. The key is to live comfortably. Making money within your cognitive range is incredible; not everyone can realize this. During the period of heavy debt, the returns were actually the highest, how ironic. Focusing on large positions is indeed satisfying; no need to watch the market every day. Sometimes being cautious is more profitable than being greedy; I've experienced this myself. SANTOS fan coins really brought you surprises. Living easily > catching every dip, this logic holds.

Really, the most reliable money is within your cognitive range Missing opportunities is not scary; being all in and losing everything is This kind of mindset is what makes a winner I used to want to catch every wave, but ended up getting cut deeply Stick to dollar-cost averaging into strong, reliable assets—that's the highest realm of crypto trading Having a big heart doesn't mean making more money; the key is to stay alive and make money Cognition determines everything; I suddenly understand From debt to stability, this progression is not easy to walk Only trade familiar assets; less anxiety, more sleep—that's valuable Seize all opportunities? That's the thought of a greedy ghost

Being overly cautious is a mistake. I see you've upgraded your mindset. Really, instead of chasing every wave and exhausting yourself, it's better to focus on the more certain opportunities and feel comfortable. Money within your understanding is the most reliable. There's no fault in that statement. In a bull market, being bold can sometimes turn things around, but it also feels exhausting to keep living like that. You might actually earn more peace of mind this way.

lmao this is literally just admitting you've optimized for lower volatility over max extraction... honestly? smart move. stopped chasing every pump and instead focused on high conviction plays with better risk/reward ratios. that's basically portfolio rebalancing with extra steps but yeah the peace of mind delta is *chef's kiss*

This is what growth looks like, from daring to go all-in on everything to learning to pass, there's still a bit of regret. There are indeed many missed opportunities, but living comfortably is better than anything else. Money within your understanding is the most reliable; otherwise, your mood would be exploding every day. From being in debt to now, your mental shift is worth acknowledging.
