Another year has passed, and on my 28th birthday, I suddenly realized that I have been on the trading path for a full ten years.

2025 is a watershed moment for me. Not just a change in account figures, but more importantly, I finally have the space to pause and seriously reflect on what I have learned over the years. From the initial blind surfing to now being able to produce phased results, every wave and adjustment in between has shaped my current investment mindset.

Sometimes, trading can easily get caught up in the daily market noise, making us forget to look ahead. This review has made me realize that true progress is not about earning more, but about a more solid understanding of the market and a clearer awareness of my own risks. 2025 has given me this opportunity and has also helped me clarify my plans for the future.

Ten years of sharpening the sword, only to realize that steady living is better than just making a profit.

Ten years as a rookie trader, have you finally understood? Is it true or false?

Ten years, huh? This wave of realization is truly something.

A decade of trading experience, at 28 years old... I feel like I've truly started to live life right. In the early days, chasing highs and panicking at lows was a nightmare, but now I make more stable profits. The key is that I'm no longer hostage to daily K-line charts, it's refreshing. At this age, being able to pause and review is something many people simply can't do.

Ten years, only after this realization is it truly profitable.

A ten-year trading career—how many pitfalls had to be navigated to make it this far. The days of blindly surfing in the early days now seem so naive yet so passionate. The key point remains: making money is secondary; mindset and understanding are the fundamental keys to long-term survival.

It should be pointed out that a ten-year trading career is essentially a process of constantly falsifying self-assumptions. True awakening has never been in the account numbers, but in your understanding of the essence of Satoshi Nakamoto's words — the core of decentralization is not wealth, but cognitive autonomy. Being still reviewing at age 28 indicates you haven't yet found the path to the origin of technology. Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me: the biggest lie of a ten-year trader is "progress." On-chain data shows that 99% of those who survive three cycles fall into the trap of "thinking they are clever." I hope you are not one of them. From blindness to "phase achievements," this sounds like the story all newcomers tell. The real question is, has your risk model experienced a black swan? Stopping to reflect is correct, but don’t let this review become the prelude to an even greater loss. What you truly learned in these ten years is simply the market’s way of teaching you humility. It’s a bit poetic, but also a bit painful.
