Freedom of trading and indifference in the crypto market
From observation, the most daring market participants are actually two types of people—
One type has already earned enough wealth through this market, so adding risk is insignificant to them; the other has nothing to lose, and if they lose, it’s no big deal, since starting over doesn’t cost much. Their trading logic is straightforward and decisive—when it’s time to act, they act.
The most conflicted are actually the ones in the middle. They have some savings but are not yet free, and each trade they make is carefully weighed. Winning yields limited returns, after all, they don’t dare to take too large positions; losing, however, makes them hesitate for a long time. This in-between state pushes people to become conservative, and trading becomes cautious and hesitant.
The result is that even when a good opportunity arises, they only take small bites—unable to make big money, but risk is kept under control. It seems stable, but in reality, they are trading "conservatism" for "opportunity cost." This is the awkwardness caused by the mismatch between capital size and psychological expectations.

It's truly incredible, this is exactly how I feel right now... I have some money but don't dare to go all in, and as a result, I missed out on all the opportunities.

Damn, doesn't that mean I'm the one? The people in the middle are the most uncomfortable.

Haha, that's so true. I'm the one caught in the middle, and I always feel exhausted.
