Feeling that the market has been too slow lately? Actually, you just haven't figured it out—stagnation is the daily pattern of Bitcoin's movement, and truly continuous surges or drops are actually rare.

The problem is that most people can't tolerate this slow pace. As soon as they see no movement on the chart, they can't sit still. Before the main upward wave arrives, they've already been worn out. What's the result? Opportunities are right in front of you, but you lack the stamina and mindset to seize them.

There's a simple logic here—first, you need to survive through the stagnation period to share in the major profits of the main upward wave. Greed is actually the biggest enemy. Not chasing overnight riches, but instead accepting steady gains has gradually become the norm. Slow is fast; it may seem contradictory, but in reality, this is the secret to surviving the longest and earning the most steadily in the market.

well technically the whole "slow is fast" thing is just saying you need decent time preference management... but yeah most people watching 4h charts like it's a slot machine is kind of proof sketch for why retail gets liquidated lol

Too true, I am part of the group that was shaped by the grind. Wait, think about it the other way around, isn't the hesitation period the golden window for building positions at low levels? Unable to endure is truly a original sin. My friend watches the market every day, but he never managed to buy the dip during a crash, now he’s full of regret. The phrase "slow is fast" should be engraved in the mind. It sounds nice, but in reality, it’s still a test of human nature. The key is to have enough capital to endure this period of torment. Without comparison, there is no harm; seeing others achieve stable returns while you frequently trade is indeed two different things. Is this theory correct? I always feel like I can't hold on for that long.

That's so true. I am part of the group that was shaped through grinding, and my mindset has been shattered more than once. Can't take it anymore, brother. Seeing no reaction in the market makes me want to trade, but it all results in losing orders. I understand the theory that slow is fast, but I just can't execute it; I'm still too inexperienced. This time I've decided, unless there's a main upward wave, I won't touch anything. Actually, the hardest part isn't choosing coins, but deciding to stay silent. Now I understand that surviving is more difficult than making money. If I had known earlier, I would have just laid low. Why bother watching the market every day? Honestly, I've fallen into the greed trap too many times. Persistence really feels like a form of cultivation. Once again, I’ve been worn down. Let’s wait until the bottom to talk.

ngl this sideways market is literally a portfolio therapy session in disguise... your impatience rn? that's peak emotional volatility index behavior. have u considered that the grinding periods are actually where ur trading psyche gets rewired? the real rugpull happens between ur ears, not on the chart.
