I am optimistic about a certain cryptocurrency, but as soon as the market moves, I start to get tangled up and haven't figured out my true thoughts. Instead of staring at the screen every day, it's better to think through these few things first.

First, only invest with money you can afford to lose. This is not your entire fortune, but the part you can calmly accept losing. The thrill of going all-in only brings insomnia and anxiety. True certainty comes from your risk control, not luck. You're buying peace of mind, not gambling.

Second, don't neglect your health. No matter how much you earn, without good health, it's all meaningless. Staying up late watching the market and excessive stress are not worth it. Your health is the foundation of all wealth.

Third, set aside time for life and family. Investment is just part of life, not everything. Do things that make you happy, spend time with family—these adjustments to your mindset are more effective than any technical analysis.

Honestly, making money follows such simple logic, but why are so few people able to truly do it?

It's easy to say, but hard to do. I'm the kind of person who gets anxious easily; whether I think it's good or bad, I can't sleep. After going all-in once, I finally understood what regret means. Now I only dare to play with spare money. Regarding health, staying up late to watch the market has cost me my hair; it's not worth the loss. People are like that, right? They know they need to balance life, but as soon as there's a market move, they forget everything. All of what you said is true, but when you actually lose money, can you stay so calm?

You're right, but why is it so hard to do? I really want to ask those guys who went all-in how they're doing now.

It's easy to say but hard to do. I'm the kind of person who can't resist checking every day even when I see good opportunities. It really is a self-torture. The thrill of going all-in is definitely addictive. Only after losing everything do I realize what it means to suffer a loss that outweighs the gain. I have a deep personal experience with this. Staying up late to watch the market has taken a toll on me. Was it worth it?

It sounds good, but why didn't I have this awareness when I was all in? Now I've learned my lesson the hard way. It's really easy to say but hard to do. When a market surge comes, all rationality disappears. Regarding health, it's true. My neck pain is so bad now that I doubt life itself. Is it worth it? My family owes the most. Next time, for sure. Haha. Everyone understands this principle, but few can do it. I am one of the few.

The words sound nice, but execution is the hardest part. I feel like this is just talking in front of a mirror; in the end, I still go all-in. That feeling in my body really hit hard. A while ago, I stayed up until dawn watching the K-line and almost had a heart palpitation. Only then did I realize how foolish I was. It's really difficult. It's not hard because I don't understand these principles; it's hard because a single market wave can wipe out all rationality.
