#数字资产市场洞察 That moment I finally understood that no matter how dazzling the numbers in your account are, they don't mean much — true confidence comes from choosing when to turn off the K-line.
Some trading day not long ago, the floating profit on my screen was enough for me to not work for a month. I was thinking about restaurant reservations, a new phone, holiday plans, and I lingered on Moments for a long time, but in the end, I didn't post anything. Those numbers felt so虚幻 (illusory), a single pullback and they would vanish into smoke; posting them would be like putting eye drops in my own eyes.
Later that afternoon, my account balance was equivalent to my salary for the past year. No cheers, no calls to anyone, just staring at the screen in a daze for a while. Then I turned off my phone, went to the kitchen to cook noodles, blanch some greens, fry an egg — even if the egg was a bit burnt, I didn't bother. Sitting in the dim kitchen, I finished my meal without even turning on the light.
Outsiders might think our life should be like this: obsessively watching market charts, mood swinging like a roller coaster, shouting signals in groups and encouraging each other. But my real state? During the craziest market times, I was watering flowers on the balcony, watching clouds drift by in the sky.
It's not pretending to be calm. It’s real — those fluctuations no longer make my heartbeat race. The first lesson this industry teaches you is: some rises and falls are not worth a single breath of effort.
Over time, you begin to accept all the absurdity of this industry. Yesterday, someone was calling you a scammer; today, they quietly DM you asking, "Can you give me some advice?" Those young people who say "blockchain will change the world" — inside, they just want to double their money quickly. Once you see through it, you become释然 (at peace).
In the end, you realize that true freedom isn't about adding zeros behind your account balance, but about — when the market is stormy and bloody, having the courage to unplug the internet cable, quietly finish a bowl of noodles, and still be able to taste the fragrant scallions.
Market waves rise and fall, but I no longer need to prove to anyone how beautifully I live in the waves.

The true "win" is not the numbers in your account, but being able to calmly close the market and go make a bowl of noodles.

Really, the moment you turn off the K-line is when you truly win. It's not about how big the numbers are, but that you simply don't care anymore.

Really, once you see through it, you feel relieved. The dream of getting rich overnight is no longer pursued; now I just want to have a good meal.

That's really true. People who constantly watch the market don't understand what freedom is at all. I've long since realized it, and with the right mindset, even floating gains turning into losses don't bother me.

It sounds good, but how many people can actually do it? Most people start worrying about next month's rent once they make a profit of 2,000 yuan.
