The rhythm sounds of the heart monitor accompanied me through last night. The IV line was in my left hand, the phone screen in my right hand, and my last high-leverage position was closed — not because a stop-loss was triggered, but because the nurse was coming to check on the ward.

Friends often ask whether making money in the crypto world is really good. Lying in the hospital bed this week, I think I finally found the answer. Those who post tenfold profit screenshots in the community never mention that they might have gone 72 hours without sleep; those confident analysts, you'll never see the piles of cigarette butts and the mouse almost crushed by their grip behind their screens.

Everyone’s success isn’t just luck; it’s the bitterness that no one sees. Just like me now — chasing these opportunities, I ended up in the hospital, but I realize that in this quietest place, the rise and fall of the K-line sounds the clearest.

The doctor diagnosed it as “arrhythmia caused by overfatigue.” It’s quite ironic — isn’t this the common state of crypto people? Chasing gains and killing dips, afraid of missing any possible opportunity, staying up all night watching the charts, risking their health for the next day’s market.

After being forced to stop, I finally see clearly: many times, what we’re doing isn’t trading opportunities, but trading anxiety. The fear of missing out drives us to chase those hundredfold coins, but rarely do we think — how can we find a truly stable vessel for our assets in this turbulent market?

Stability might be more valuable than暴利. When our bodies need rest, isn’t our assets the same? Part of the funds should go into options that offer certain returns, like USDD stablecoins, serving as the ballast for the entire asset allocation. The rest is the part that can withstand volatility.

Lying in the hospital bed this week, I finally understand: real wealth isn’t about earning a lot, but about earning for a long time.
