The tricks of this circle, I have to rant. Watching some tokens increase 10,000 times in the short term, but I just couldn't catch up. It's not that I didn't have the chance, but I didn't take action.

Honestly, the altcoin market last year was crazy enough. Various abnormal market conditions, retail investors being wiped out. Those chasing high with the trend mostly became the liquidity providers for the whales.

To think more clearly, instead of gambling on tokens that might skyrocket or go to zero, it's better to focus on mainstream coins. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, BNB—although their gains aren't as outrageous, the risks are obviously much lower. The market fundamentals are also solid.

What's the most heartbreaking? It's that after understanding these principles, I actually regret my previous decisions. Not getting in because I didn't see it clearly, sometimes it's just a mindset issue. The lessons from this market are indeed profound, and I hope to approach each opportunity more rationally next time.

BTC-0,15%

ETH0,5%

DOGE-2,89%

BNB-1,55%

Honestly, mindset is indeed the biggest hurdle. Seeing the right opportunity can sometimes make you feel even worse. Missing out on 10,000 times more is not worth obsessing over; it's better to get on the mainstream coins early. Mental preparation is the key. The strategies used by big players to cut retail investors are just a few. There's no need to fall for them every time. Learning from lessons is more valuable than regret. When the next opportunity comes, being able to stay calm and not chase the high is true skill.

That's right, mindset is the biggest enemy. I've been taught this lesson too. --- Mainstream coins are stable, but it's really hard to endure. Watching others' 10x or 20x gains while I hold BTC and can't sleep. --- Next time? Bro, I don't think there will be a next time. After this wave, I'm completely lying flat. --- Chasing highs is just pure giving away, but not chasing high and watching others make money is also uncomfortable. This is ridiculous. --- It's really just greed that wasn't controlled well. There's nothing more to say. Accept the loss.

Ha, this is me, always playing the role of the wise after the event. Watching others make ten thousand times more, I can only stare blankly. Really, those guys shouting about bottom-fishing are still stuck in their positions. Mainstream coins are stable, but this mindset is still greed. Next time? It'll be the same next time.

Honestly, this is the fate of our circle. The more you understand, the more it hurts.

Ha, it's the same old story. Watching others make ten or hundred times gains while I sleep through with mainstream coins. It's really torturous. My mentality has collapsed, and next time I'll still chase the highs. Who isn't like that? This round taught me a harsh lesson, but when the next round comes, I'll still fall into the trap.

Oh no, I really missed that 10,000x wave, but to be honest, chasing highs is just gambling with your life. Honestly, it's all about mindset. The more you understand, the more uncomfortable it becomes. Mainstream coins are stable, but they lack excitement.
