During the first half of this year, it really felt like the market was targeting us regular folks. A lot of my friends who were in this with me were tortured by $BTC—completely devastated. It was the constant back-and-forth shakeouts, the grind of long and short positions getting wiped out. Thousands, even tens of thousands of initial capital were slowly eaten away by this chaotic volatility. Some friends with smaller funds saw tens of thousands shrink to just a few thousand. Later, as the U.S. stock market heated up, we switched tracks, chased the hot trends, and managed to turn a few thousand bucks into tens of thousands steadily. Last week, I shared an analysis with my friends, pointing out that $ETH had formed an extreme convergence pattern. Everyone who needed to get in, got in. This one-sided trend was almost unstoppable—barely any meaningful pullbacks, just smooth sailing all the way. Accounts with tens of thousands of dollars shot up to six figures, some even more. This breakout—almost everyone who stuck it out caught it. So for regular people to make a comeback, it’s not about lacking capital; it’s about being willing to cut losses when you’re wrong. Even if your capital is small, it doesn’t matter. No matter how brutal the grind was earlier, as long as you still have chips on the table (whether it’s funds or confidence), once the trend comes, grab it. You’ll realize that turning things around is really just about catching those few big green candles.
