What kind of people can truly survive the bull and bear markets? In your experiences of navigating through bull and bear markets, what are the core qualities of those who ultimately "survive"—the true survivors? After reading picklecat's article, the long-held question in my heart finally has a clear answer. 1. The Eternal Illusion Called "This Time Is Different" "This time is different!"—Back in 2013, survivors buying their first Bitcoin heard this phrase; by the 2021 market peak, it echoed again in their ears; even now, it still whispers like a ghost, as if an old friend has returned. The difference is, the people saying it have changed generation after generation. Thinking back to my first time trading memes, I also had this thought running through my mind—"This time is different!" At that time, I had just shifted from traditional markets to Crypto, carrying the belief that "spot trading is not to be feared."
