Why do 80% of crypto traders fail?

According to the article, 80% of traders fail not because of wrong technical analysis or lack of information — they lose due to flawed psychology. The 2021 bull run brought in millions of newcomers dreaming of changing their lives. By the 2022-2023 bear market, when BTC dropped from $69,000 to $15,500 (-78%), only 5% remained. The difference lies in psychological discipline, not IQ or capital.

What are the 3 most dangerous psychological traps for Vietnamese traders?

The article lists 10 traps — the 3 most common are: (1) FOMO buying at the top (fear of missing out leads to buying high), (2) Revenge trading after a loss (emotional payback leads to over-leverage), and (3) Stubbornly holding onto a coin after your thesis has broken (sunk cost fallacy prevents cutting losses). All three have specific discipline-based solutions in the article.

How can I know if I am falling into a psychological trap?

They recommend a self-check for 3 signals: (1) Trading more than usual after a loss (revenge trading), (2) Checking prices multiple times per hour (FOMO/anxiety), (3) Refusing to cut a loss even though the thesis is broken (sunk cost). Solution: keep a trading journal logging every entry and exit with reasoning, and review it weekly to find recurring patterns.
