Send it to a crypto trader and say nothing

[traderethereum]

They will understand if they can think.
But mostly, they will just read it but without paying attention to what it says.
We will see many traders panic seeing the current situation and the next.
Only those who can calm down will see the chance to benefit from the situation.

Traders, you are responsible for your money. You need to be careful when trading because the market is not your friend but your place to make a profit. Control the emotion and avoid the trap of illusion.

If you see the profit, better you take your profit while exists. You will not regret it if you take the profit and leave the market.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

If your strategy is too good, then either the broker will try to liquidate you through market manipulations.
Or he will copy-trade it against some other broker, until the other broker does the above.

I've also seen several podcasts that say the same thing, and they try to liquidate you through market manipulation using whatever means they have. Trading does involve emotions and psychology, so it's highly likely we'll encounter problems, whether from technical errors by a trader or from dishonest brokers and manipulation. Every trader has their own perspective on this, so they'll choose a broker that's honest and doesn't cheat users. In certain circumstances, we also need to consider how trading should be conducted responsibly, and perhaps not just because the broker is trying to liquidate you through market manipulation, but also because it's difficult to maintain trading discipline.

Wow this is a wonderful masterpiece. Are you an Artist or something ? Because You're really good.

I'm an artist, yes. It's the art of humiliating no-coiners, altcoiners, traders, fiaters and anyone with an attention span smaller than one transaction confirmation.

That's savage for real.

You're like the Kanye west of Bitcoin always dropping bars. The world must listen, keep dropping bars until they listen
Stacking the sats is very necessary.

Let me send it the right way since some of these traders I have as friends don't want to accept that they are trading on their emotions, that makes them delusional most times.

Why don't they try a different path that would make them not skip their sleep schedules, and stay glued to their gadgets? They could make it easy for themselves by learning to hodl for long term, without stress or fears of the market not giving them desired profits

[allthebitandbobs]

I just sent it to a trader, that's myself. It might have hurt my feelings but at the end I know this is the harsh reality about trading. I, similar to other traders will already be aware about these situations and will have prepared my mind to be heart-broken. I would love to send this to someone who recently started trading and were able to make some profits in their initial traders. I would like to see their reaction because a seasoned trader will not really react to this but a newbie trader who recently made some profit and is already bragging about the profit will react to this quote.

Anyways seems like a good inspiration and a hats-off to the lines. I really have to appreciate your thinking capabilities.

I think I’m done with day trading for now. And guess what I’m gonna do… I’ll just buy and HOLD. Keep things simple. Same as life, if you want to be happy, don’t overcomplicate things. In the end that strategy has already proven to be profitable anyway, so why make life harder? When we trade, the exchanges are the only ones making consistent money from fees. We traders go up and down… they’re always up.

But, being a trader we can still make good profits. I mean, investing and holding for a longer term is always a better option but you should not be scared to trade. Trading takes a lot of motivation so you should not be demotivated easily just by reading this. This is just another way to teach the harsh reality with trading but this does not necessarily mean that having profits in trading is impossible. We can still make good profits in trading if we follow a good strategy and are able to make a through research before opening the trade.

Long term holding will always be a better option if you don't want to take any more risks but let me tell you that taking risks will also maximize your profits. You might not get that good profits just by holding but if you take trades, you might end up in decent profits.

[goldkingcoiner]

You think you're winning.

You think your little green candles are signs from God.

You think your sacred Fibonacci spirals are proof you're chosen.

But deep down you know:
you're not trading the market;
you're trading emotions on your own delusion.

You call yourself a "risk manager."

Meanwhile, you can't even manage your sleep schedule.

You're two liquidations away from spiritual awakening, and three Red Bulls away from medical emergency.

You don't have a strategy.

You have impulses. Dopamine dependency wrapped in TradingView aesthetics.

You think you'll quit after the next win.

Spoiler alert: You won't.

Because you're not addicted to profit. You're addicted to "almost winning."

Reality is that you can't find a strategy that consistently wins. Not because you're dumber than other traders.

Because it's a rigged game.

If your strategy is too good, then either the broker will try to liquidate you through market manipulations.
Or he will copy-trade it against some other broker, until the other broker does the above.

The only winning trade is ego for satoshis.

Send this to a trader, and say nothing.

Harsh.
Sounds like a bitter somebody panic-sold during the dump

I don't get liquidated as I stay away from any system based on liquidation but I had to lose a fortune before learning that lesson...  
Derivatives trading is without a doubt gambling. Feel free to send that text to me though, I trade and never plan to sell on a loss.
Any shaky hands are welcome to sell me their BTC on a loss. I have no issue taking advantage. It will be a good lesson to them to never panic-sell on an investment
that they supposedly were so confident in, when they bought it in the first place...

[Z-tight]

In as much as trading is risky, it is still an 'art' that involves skill, knowledge and patience. As long as a trader is not greedy and trying to gamble their way into some form of wealth, then there is nothing wrong in trading crypto. I cannot call myself a crypto trader, my interests are towards other aspects in the network and that is the beauty of it all, the free will to decide what you want to do with your coins. Their keys, their coins. You want to trade, good. You want to hold, very well, spend? Great. Etc.

[₿itcoin]

Oh, thats wicked ! though its not wrong at all in various ways... However I think if you are so into the feeling of trading, why not just stop worrying about those unnecessary things &  start saving Satoshis? As a Bitcoin Maximalist, I believe there is only one real strategy in the Bitcoin world, its to create sound money, which is to get out of the competition of useless green candles or brokers games. Bitcoins 21 million hard cap is not a gimmick at all, it is Immutable Scarcity. so you could claim trades rigged by brokers, most likely however it does not matter at all. But when you are focused on making good money in the long run, you dont need to win trades, you just need strong conviction. The actual clash come forth when your pivot changes from ego to sats.

[Fiasem20]

I think I'll send this post to a crypto trader and say nothing .Trading is likely seen as gambling because the chances of winning is low.Most traders find it hard to quit because they always think they'll win the next trade,though it's good to think positively but don't let you're decisions affect your financial lifestyle.Personally,I can't trade crypto because I might end up digressing from my investment target into what I would regret in the long run.And trading is not what people think it's as easy as ABC... though it's said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,but in my own opinion the journey of trading crypto is not what someone like me should venture into.

[X-ray]

Just stacking satoshi is always the way, no need to do fundamental analysis, technical analysis, or whatever you name it.

Stack those satoshi from 1 year ago you have 2x ROI, stack those satoshi from 2 years ago you have 3x satoshi and so on. The key is always just buy bitcoin and HODL. Fiat multiply but bitcoin is capped at 21 million forever.

[chigo]

My social media is filled with the rants of traders (I'm not sure if they're all traders or just scammers) who all claim the crypto market is a scam and Bitcoin is the worst. Honestly, their rants make me laugh. Why is it that when the market is green, they're all happy, but when the market is bearish, they're all abusive about Bitcoin? What a quick change in mood, lol.

The holders will always be the winners, because they never lose anything. They're patient because they have full confidence in Bitcoin, not just following the crowd.

[CryptoYar]

Your main point is that trading can be addiction to false idea of winning almost, that it is emotion driven impulsive way of making decisions instead of logical one, and this gives false idea that trader is in control when he is unable to even control simplest of things such as sleep. And yes this is serious issue that even good strategy can be unsuccessful due to fact that market is changed by large institutions that are able to change prices in order to make small traders lose. But after all in my point of view holding is the best strategy but for only Bitcoin.

[Pathsofglory38]

Lol I was laughing while reading you post , I sent it to a friends that always trade Gold and his react got me amazed he was like all this is what he’s experiencing but he believes he already has a perfect strategy just that he can’t deal with his emotions when the market doesn’t go his way his urge for fighting back kills him he just said I knw I'm an aggressive trader but just one day I will breakout and you will see.

I think, these words are suitable for every other profession as well. The fact that you have earned money with something, even if this earning have been stable over many years.... this can mean only that you have not encountered the Black Swan yet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theory
All "stability" can be martingale - there is a possibility that 20 blacks will emerge in a row (in the roulette wheel)... there is a possibility that in some extremely unlucky day I have to pay back all my earnings and even much much more...

Once you achieve those things from trading it will create a good opportunity that will make your dream come to reality in trading. There is no how you will have crypto knowledge you will not know how to use it to take risk in trading, I have seen many people that apply their crypto knowledge to become who they are today, because they use some amount of money to buy BTC in the low price.

Sometimes it hard to take those decision to trade, buy or sell coins, because you don't know what will happen next but if you have the knowledge and you know how to be patience, I don't think your friends or relative will not like to join you  because your achievement will be their dream.

I quietly read this and to be honest, it read like the average trader’s inner monologue at 3AM, right before promising to “start fresh tomorrow.”

What I find funny in this topic is that every trader has been at least some version of this person at some point by being overconfident on green days and philosophical on red days. 

However, calling the whole thing rigged is oversimplifying it. Of a truth, exchanges can be shady, yes, most people trade emotions but blaming the broker is usually the last stage before accepting you’re the problem.

Still… I'll be sending this to few traders I know and I believe they’ll definitely feel it in their soul.

[Satofan44]

What I find funny in this topic is that every trader has been at least some version of this person at some point by being overconfident on green days and philosophical on red days.  

This is a classic telltale of weak and undeveloped minds. Traders are idiots in general. The science says that you should not trade unless you are doing it as a professional and it is part of your career.

However, calling the whole thing rigged is oversimplifying it. Of a truth, exchanges can be shady, yes, most people trade emotions but blaming the broker is usually the last stage before accepting you’re the problem.

You're very naive. The whole thing is completely rigged beyond your wildest imagination. The exchanges often rig, the whales rig, the media, joint pumps, joint dumps, insider information, there are all kinds of things going on at the same time. This is not some grand conspiracy theory where a large group is cooperating to rig the game against everyone else. There are many small groups that have power that are fighting to manipulate the whole environment to their advantage. Science and data support this, there is no reason to think otherwise. Since you are not into science you can find many anecdotal evidences of this happening, e.g., someone opening massive shorts on new accounts 10 minutes before Trump announces huge tariffs. Coincidences I guess (if you re naive enough).   I get your argument that people should accept responsibility though, but you are expecting too much. 99% of humans are unable to overcome the manipulations that are going on here, neither those that induce you to trade nor those that are actually manipulating the results of the market.

Anyway to think that the game is rigged is completely dumb. The stock market is completely rigged, look at Nancy Pelosi. Retarded dinosaur that is as corrupt as they get and she's beating the stock market returns easily, precisely because the game is rigged. With so much oversight, control and regulation over there how could one possibly believe that the cryptocurrency trading environment is not rigged? It is rigged worse by a factor of 1000x or more.  

[Adams0001]

Okay bro I get it. With all that, I think I’m done with day trading for now. And guess what I’m gonna do… I’ll just buy and HOLD. Keep things simple. Same as life, if you want to be happy, don’t overcomplicate things. In the end that strategy has already proven to be profitable anyway, so why make life harder? When we trade, the exchanges are the only ones making consistent money from fees. We traders go up and down… they’re always up.

Holding is the best thing for bitcoin lovers because trading is always a high risk but holding for long term will always bring profit and you will get guaranteed of getting profits but trading will never give you 100% that you'll be profitable so people that like short term prefer to trade then hod because they are not patient to hold for long and that is why many short term investors always lose lot before getting what they need because is always unpredictable and we want to get fast profits.

OP you are right, we can't find a consistent strategy that can be making you win always the market always turn and that why you need to be using risk management when trading and know type of funds you used to trade, used what you can afford to lose and that is why you can used small dollars for your trading you don't need to have alot funds before taking risk in trading.

[betswift]

There is where gambling and trading cross paths. Weird as it may sound, both should be for fun, not for profit. Both should involve amounts one can afford to lose and not money that's intended for something else. Just like gambling, if you're trading chasing money, you're more likely losing than winning. If you don't have much influence in the market, you're probably better off working somewhere for a stable income, DCA Bitcoin with your extra, and hodl.

I would say that gambling is more about fun than trading.. Because you cannot in any way predict or go for the fundamentals of games for gambling.

In trading - it's not true, and not everybody "gambles" their way..
