There are quite a few crypto enthusiasts in Niseko. Actually, upon closer thought, this is no coincidence.

The logic of skiing and trading is really quite similar. Both can give people that adrenaline rush, with a heightened sense of excitement. But at what cost? Burning money is a shared fate.

Both are high-volatility games. Market prices can double in a day or be halved overnight, and on steep slopes, a moment of distraction can cause a fall. Both require strong judgment and very little room for error. Hesitating for just a few seconds could be fatal.

Those who have truly been in the game for a long time tend to be very disciplined. It’s not that they’re afraid to take risks, but they deeply understand when to hit the brakes and when the real opportunity is. These experiences? They are learned from getting back up after a fall. No one can bypass this process.

Haha, once you've fallen, you understand. There's no shortcut.

Haha, so true. I'm the kind of person who loses money skiing and also loses money trading. Only after falling do you understand what self-control really means. That's right, no one can avoid the lesson of being proven wrong.

Haha, that's a perfect analogy. It's indeed a game of spending money for excitement. After falling so many times, you realize that restraint is the real way to make money. Wait, so the folks in Niseko are crazy for both skiing and crypto trading? Exactly, those few seconds of hesitation can really ruin everything. Really, when losing money, the biggest test is your mindset. It's even harder than being on the ski slopes.

It took several falls to realize that true experts make money through restraint.

On-chain data shows that the fund flow of this high-risk preference group indeed follows certain patterns... However, from a coding perspective, there's no way to avoid the learning curve involved in this.

Wow, this analogy is perfect. Skiing and cryptocurrency trading are truly twin brothers. It's a roller coaster of one second in heaven, the next in hell, and burning money without blinking. You have to fall to learn how to brake. That hits too close to home. I was educated by a sharp decline. That's right, self-control is the secret to lasting longer, but who can really do that? Just look at the folks in Niseko, you'll understand. The ones who actually make money are never the most aggressive.

Wow, that's a perfect analogy. Skiing and trading cryptocurrencies really come from the same parent. You only understand after falling. No one starts out knowing when to hit the brakes. Futures trading is like rushing down a steep slope. Hesitate for a second, and it's all over. Honestly, I've seen too many people lose because they don't know when to take a break.
