Staring at the market chart but unable to understand the next move. The coins I was optimistic about drop as soon as I buy in, making me want to curse; the coins I didn't buy at the bottom soar, and I look back with tears. Did I really get in? The gains suddenly stop. Did I stay on the sidelines? Missed the entire trend.

Having played this cycle for so long, I decide to admit defeat. Instead of continuing to gamble on market psychology, it's better to do something that can generate stable cash flow. Although delivering takeout doesn't make big money, at least the account balance won't be plunging every day. Sometimes, giving up zero-sum games is actually the most rational choice.

Hey, you're right. Playing this game too many times really gets tiring. --- Every time I think I can win this round, I end up learning a bloody lesson. --- Instead of watching the market every day and getting stressed, it's better to do something stable and keep a good mindset. --- Giving up? No, this is called cutting losses in time, understand? --- The gambling logic in the crypto world can really drive people crazy, I get it. --- Delivering food sounds boring, but it's a hundred times better than being cut by the market every day. --- Giving up on gambling itself is the biggest winning mentality, many people just can't understand it.

Haha, really, I play like that too, always timing my entries perfectly. --- Delivering takeout is so stable, at least you don't have to stare at the K-line all day and get stressed. --- That's the truth, much more reliable than those claiming they make a fortune. --- Admitting defeat is also a kind of victory, those who understand, understand. --- So now you're just watching and not buying?

Ha, it's the same old story. Buy everything that drops and sell everything that rises—classic leek-cutting tactics. Delivering food is really much more comfortable than trading cryptocurrencies. Although the money is less, at least I can sleep peacefully. I've also had enough of this psychological warfare. It's better to be honest and just do manual labor. In the crypto world, this zero-sum game, only a few winners are always there. I feel the same way. Every time I do the opposite of what I think, I still get it wrong.

Haha, this is my daily routine—playing the old game of chasing gains and cutting losses. Honestly, compared to watching K-line charts every day, I now prefer to steadily withdraw profits. I've seriously considered shifting to stable returns; after all, a healthy mindset is the most valuable. You're right, gambling mentality when playing coins is a trap. The sooner you admit defeat, the sooner you'll be free. I've truly realized this time: you can't outplay the market; it's still best to rely on solid cash flow.

Haha, isn't this just my daily life? Always chasing highs and killing lows. Seriously, the phrase "give up zero-sum games" hits the mark. Compared to gambling-style bets, stable cash flow is indeed more reliable. Seeing a decline you believe in, expecting a rise you doubt—what kind of skill is that, always operating in the opposite direction? Instead of staring at the market all day and getting so angry you want to smash your phone, it's better to do something grounded. Delivering food, even with a small monthly income, is real money. This is the so-called "surrender to win," but most people don't understand this principle. That said, not many people can figure this out; most are still dreaming of soaring to the sky.
