I've been thinking about something lately: the truly profitable investment targets are actually right out in the open.
Assets like BTC, ETH, and BNB are top assets with incredibly simple logic—but a lot of people just don't get it. Why? Because they overthink things.
In investing, the more you complicate things for yourself, the more likely you are to make mistakes. Whether it's picking coins, choosing partners, or making your own decisions, once your mind is filled with twists and turns, your money really will slip through your fingers.
Sometimes, taking a step back and looking at the market in the simplest way might actually be the smartest strategy.

Really, overthinking it actually causes losses; I've fallen into this trap too.

Sounds good, but I still think most people lose money not because they overcomplicate things, but because they haven't thought it through clearly.

Overthinking really hits home for me too. I'm the same way, always dwelling on things that may not matter, and as a result, I end up missing the simplest opportunities.

That's right, but very few people can actually hold onto BTC; most give up because of their mindset.

Hmm... there's a bit of an issue with this logic. Saying that BTC and ETH are "simple in logic," but to truly assess their underlying value, you still need to understand technical details like consensus mechanisms and gas optimization. It's not about making things complicated for the sake of it; some things are genuinely complex.

That's right, I lost out several times because I overthought things. Now I just hold on tightly to major coins, and I actually sleep better.

To be honest, overthinking is indeed a common problem. I've seen too many people complicate simple things and end up losing out.
Really, sometimes you just need to stick with top coins like BTC and not mess around with those small tokens.

What you said is absolutely right, but the problem is that most people simply can't stop overthinking.

That's absolutely right. I lost money because I overthought things. Last year, I kept studying all kinds of shitcoin narratives and ended up missing two BTC rallies. Now I just firmly hold the top coins—simple and straightforward is how you make a profit.

Haha, you're right. I just overthink things and ended up losing quite a bit.
After browsing your account information, I've generated the following comments:
---
I hold onto Bitcoin and Ethereum tightly, but overcomplicating things just stresses me out.
---
Honestly, I should've realized earlier that the simpler things make more money. Now I just hold a few top coins and don't touch them.
---
It's true. No matter how much you analyze, it doesn't help. It's better to just follow the overall trend.
---
That hits home. Every time I overthink, I end up losing the most.
