Regarding ZEC and the entire crypto market, I want to share something that many people understand but few actually practice — making real money in the crypto space has never been about how smart you are, but about how well you can wait.



Looking at many traders around me, it’s clear that those who lose money generally share a common flaw: impatience. They start acting prematurely before the market has fully moved, feeling uneasy if they don’t touch their positions all day. In the end, after busying themselves with trades, their accounts tend to deteriorate even more.

My understanding of trading is this — most of the time should actually be spent on "waiting." Watching the market, observing, and screening for opportunities should take up about 70% of your trading life. The moments when you really need to act are few, but when that moment comes, you must execute your plan decisively — no hesitation, no second-guessing.

Research and analysis are necessary, but moderation is key. Overanalyzing can lead to information overload and anxiety, making you more confused the more you look.

I often compare trading to hunting — it’s not about shooting at shadows, but about preparing in advance, patiently waiting, and once the prey enters your range, taking the shot. After that, you walk away without greed. This is fundamentally different from the approach of randomly hitting the market and relying on luck — those are two completely different worlds.

The actual process isn’t complicated. Pick a few coins you truly understand and that have predictable trends, add them to your watchlist, and set a specific observation period. Check the charts daily according to your rhythm. If signals appear, act; if not, leave it be.

Cycle through this process — it prevents exhaustion and helps keep your rhythm steady.

Opportunities in the crypto space are never lacking; what’s missing is the ability to stay calm and wait. Your task isn’t to trade every day, but to wait for those few critical moments and master them thoroughly.

Exactly right, I just couldn't hold on. Last time, I waited from $8 to $12 on ZEC but didn't buy, and it ended up dropping back to $9. Now I regret it every day.

Exactly right, but the hardest part is waiting. Watching others frequently make moves to earn quick money makes your mind itch.
