Just yesterday, I saw a tweet from Blue Fox @lanhubiji that really resonated with me. Trading shouldn’t be about chasing short-term wins; it’s about building your own 'defense system.' Especially as your capital grows, the focus should be on balancing risk and reward. Of course, some people are naturally gifted and can treat money like play chips, but how many of those gifted individuals actually make it to the end? If you can stay in the game long enough, you’ll have more opportunities at the table. You might not necessarily get rich overnight, but the chances to make money will increase. These past few days, I’ve been scrolling through Twitter, and while I can’t confirm if it’s true, I’ve seen quite a few excellent traders give back the profits they made over the last year or two—some even nearly wiped out. The longer you survive, the more opportunities you’ll have. 2023’s lessons, 2024’s BTC spot ETF, 2025’s Meme—every year brings new opportunities, new chances to make money. But the prerequisite is survival. And not just survival—you need to have chips in hand to place your bets. Respect the market.
