Sometimes I think AI entrepreneurship is a bit like mining in the early days.Not everyone can strike it rich, and most people end up "digging holes" . People working on AI projects these days roughly fall into three categories: Those truly building infrastructure—competing fiercely in computing power, models, and research papers; Those focused on product packaging—they haven’t even connected to the API yet, but already start telling stories about their "AGI assistant"; Those speculating on concepts to make a quick buck—today they’re working on AI agents, tomorrow they claim to be pursuing decentralization. But the people I admire most are those quietly building small models and small tools.They have no funding, no backing from big tech companies, and no "PPT shock" (i.e., impressive but empty presentations)—they just want to create something truly useful. In the end, it might be these people who stay standing amid this AI wave.Because the hype will fade, and only those that solve real problems will remain.

I just realized recently that my heartbeat curve is quite similar to a K-line chart. When the market surges, my heart rate speeds up; when it pulls back, my heart rate drops sharply; and when my stop-loss is triggered, my heartbeat flatlines like an ECG. A friend asked me, "Are you really trading crypto, or are you doing heart endurance training?" To be honest, I can’t even tell the difference myself. Trading is truly an emotional roller coaster, but the only seatbelt you have is discipline. Otherwise, when you "fall off the ride," no one will be able to catch you.

These days, my trading account hasn’t been performing well, and the stress has left me feeling quite drained. There was even a moment when I thought—maybe I should take a break, stop all this struggling altogether. But when I calmed down, I realized what I truly wanted wasn’t to run away; it was to become more steady. A slump in trading isn’t the end—it’s a training ground. Every loss pushes me to fix the gaps in my strategy; Every outburst of emotion reminds me where I still need to grow. Falling down means I can catch my breath, but it doesn’t mean I’ll stop moving forward. I’m still in the game, and what’s more, I’ll be calmer than I was yesterday.

A single reckless trade once erased my account—no stop-loss, just hope. That pain reshaped me. Now, I set a 1% stop-loss on every trade, like $100 on a $10,000 account, no exceptions. I only enter trades where the potential profit triples my risk, like aiming for $300 while risking $100. Every Sunday, I dissect my trades, noting how fear pushed me to exit early or greed made me overstay. Losses sting, but they’re my best coach. The market’s brutal—survive it with discipline, and you’ll earn your wins.

Took a loss on a trade last week—honestly, it hit harder than I expected. I had my stop-loss set before entering, but in the moment I thought, “Maybe just wait a bit longer,” and watched it slide from -1% to -3%. That little voice lying to you? Way too familiar. Like a smooth-talking scammer. Losing the money wasn’t the real pain—it was the hit to my confidence. But I get it now: emotions are just part of trading. I forced myself to calm down and reviewed that trade three times, picked apart every mistake. Messing up once isn’t the problem. Letting yourself keep messing up is. Trading is basically just a fight against your own greed and fear.

I used to be obsessed with high win rates — thought a 70% success rate meant I had the world in my hands. Then one unchecked crash, no stop-loss, taught me the hard truth: win rate is just a placebo — risk-reward is the real king. Now, I’d rather win only 50% of the time, as long as my wins outweigh my losses. It’s like poker: losing small hands doesn’t matter — one big win covers it all, with interest. Trading isn’t about how often you win, but how long you survive. High win rates mean nothing when your account can hit zero in an instant. My discipline now? Brag less about how often I win, focus more on how much I keep. In the end, the real winner is the one still standing.

Trading is a game of probabilities, but even the highest win rate means nothing without discipline. I’ve seen strategies with a 70% success rate crash and burn from just one trade without a stop-loss. What about you? What’s your discipline?
