Being too obsessed with certainty often leads to achieving nothing.

This is a common psychological inertia among many players in the crypto circle: fear of hitting a雷, fear of choosing the wrong track, so they all flock to chase those projects that have already outperformed. But the opportunities that can truly change the wealth landscape often emerge in the ambiguous zones that even candlestick charts can't clearly explain.

A recent realization: a conservative strategy itself is not wrong, but if you only make "certain correct" moves every day, it can actually be the biggest risk. Those seemingly safe choices—buying the dip of mainstream coins, following big V influencers, waiting for the perfect entry point—are precisely the most brutal traps in the market. Real gains come from your willingness to act in moments of uncertainty.

Buying the dip in mainstream coins and waiting for the perfect entry? Uh... I've seen this trick enough times, and the results are always the same — tragic. Following big influencers often turns you into the bagholder, really. Making money in the gray area isn't wrong, but the premise is that you have to dare to bet. It's mainly about mindset; the opportunities with high certainty have already been taken. If you don't dare to gamble, don't blame the market for not giving you a chance. That's why some people are always on the sidelines watching.

I think that's a bit of an absolute statement, but it really hits home. Watching mainstream coins stay so stable every day, yet after a year, my account is still the same. Meanwhile, those guys who dared to go all-in on small coins have made a fortune.

That's right, but is risk management really that simple? Everyone is betting on uncertainty, and in the end, it's these people who lose big. What's wrong with mainstream coins being more stable? At least you can sleep well. Not everyone can afford to gamble, brother. This kind of talk sounds good, but you'll regret it when you actually lose money. Wait, are you defending your all-in? There is no absolute answer between certainty and uncertainty.

In simple terms, chasing the perfect entry point is just a waste of time. I've seen too many people waiting around, and in the end, they didn't catch anything. The real moments to make money are only a few times. If you wait until there's a 100% certainty, brother, the flowers will have withered. But to be fair, I also learned this lesson through repeated pitfalls. I'm still learning how to find opportunities in chaos. Sometimes I feel like I'm just a negative example, but at least I'm still exploring. The mainstream coin approach is long outdated. I really don't understand why some people are still trying to bottom fish. Can you dare to tell me what you're betting on now? Anyway, it's all gambling. Might as well gamble more aggressively. Being cautious is boring, but going bankrupt is also boring. I'm struggling somewhere in the middle. This sentence hit me hard. I immediately developed social anxiety. The fuzzy zone is the real gold mine, but unfortunately, most people don't even dare to get close. Making money and hitting a mine is just one decision apart. Sometimes I really can't tell if I'm smart or just lucky.
