#比特币对比代币化黄金 $ZEC To be honest, during the 2020 to 2021 bull run, my account did reach eight figures.



$FHE I didn’t take any screenshots, nor did I show off to anyone. I just woke up every day watching the numbers jump, knowing in my heart that all those years of persistence finally paid off.

$XNY But ironically—in that super bull market, there were actually very few people who really made money. Most people didn’t just “make too little”; they didn’t even know if they actually earned anything, and the more they tried, the more they lost.

I’ve seen this story play out too many times:
Going all in and refusing to sell when prices go up;
Getting pulled up by blue chips, then jumping straight into meme coins and getting stuck until numb;
Tripling on paper, only to lose it all in a single pullback;
Cashing out once, but then aping back in, ending up with a net worth worse than before they started.

You think you’re participating in a bull market?
In reality, you’re just a passerby in the cycle.

Why could I steadily lock in profits during that cycle?

It wasn’t because I had sharp insight, exclusive info, or the guts to go all in.

It was because I figured out one thing early on: the bull market isn’t for having fun—it’s for cashing in on your prior hard work.

When the market went crazy, I didn’t chase those hype coins.
I only did three things:

— Only enter when the trend is clear
— Leave when the take-profit target hits
— Take profits and walk away, don’t get greedy

While others used impulsiveness to blow up, I used discipline to grow my principal.

After seven years, I’ve seen countless stories of “overnight riches turning into overnight ruin,” and too many retail traders who praise the market on the way up and blame it on the way down.

But I always remember the simplest rule:

Only the numbers you can withdraw count as profits;
Only the numbers you can hold onto show real skill.

Now I’ve made it. What about you?
Ask yourself—will you keep being exit liquidity, or do you want to be the one laughing at the end?

That's right, but the problem is that most people have never even thought about cashing out—they're just counting money in their dreams.

Sounds nice, but the key is to survive until the moment you can cash out. I’ve seen accounts with a million on paper end up going to zero.

It sounds nice, but it's just survivor bias. How many people actually make money purely through discipline...

That's right, too many people take the numbers on paper too seriously. I was like that too—when it doubled, I couldn’t bear to cash out, and then one big drop wiped it all out. Now I understand, only profits in your pocket are real.

What you said is absolutely right, but most people just can't follow through. A friend of mine made five times his money on paper in 2021, insisted on going all-in one more time, and now he's too embarrassed to show his face.

That's right, the ones who actually make money are those who know when to take profits. The people around me who went all-in and held on stubbornly ended up losing big and still complain about the market being unfair.
