Want to make quick money? Usually, the faster you lose it all. Actually, the hardest part in the crypto world isn't technical analysis, but controlling your hands.

Some time ago, a friend came to me with $4,000 asking how to double his money quickly, looking anxious. I only said four words: "Learn to be patient first."

He was unconvinced and argued that with such high enthusiasm, not trading would be wasting opportunities. I shook my head: "It's not that you missed the chance, but that you're always messing around at the worst times." That was a painful lesson for me too—frequent trading once turned my funds into almost nothing.

Later, I set a rule for myself—trade at most once a week. If there’s no clear signal, stay on the sidelines. It took me a whole week to find a decent opportunity—entering at a key position in BTC—and the next day, my account increased by $800. That’s when I realized that my previous losses weren’t due to lack of skill, but because I traded too often and was too impatient.

**Most people die because of their rhythm, not analysis**

I also tried high-frequency trading, thinking that doing nothing was losing money. But what happened? The fees ate up most of the profits, leaving very little. When I looked at the data, I was surprised to find that low-frequency traders actually had higher average annual returns than high-frequency players.

The crypto world is full of temptations—new coins pumping, screenshots showing off in groups, FOMO everywhere. But those who truly survive are the ones who know how to say "no." They filter opportunities, focus only on major trends and key volume changes, and block out other noise.

This is the trading rhythm I follow now. Not aiming for quick riches, just hoping to stay alive long enough to see it.
