Refuse internal conflict, stay away from anxiety — this is easy to say, but hard to do.
In this circle, whenever the market shows signs of improvement, anxiety hits. Ultimately, this ecosystem is too close to money, and there’s always someone whispering tension in your ear, making you worry about missing out or regretting something. The final result is often frustration, mental breakdown, and all judgments thrown into disarray.
But think carefully, can these voices really serve as "motivation"? Almost never. They only make you upset, disrupt your thinking, and besides that, they do nothing. Instead, they might cause you to make regretful decisions.
Taking recent market conditions as an example, the performance of the public chain ecosystem has indeed been unexpectedly strong. But the more this happens, the more you need to stay calm. When the market rises, it doesn’t mean you have to follow the trend; when anxiety hits, it doesn’t mean you have to be controlled by it.
True investors should have their own rhythm and judgment. Watching the market, chasing gains, regretting missed opportunities — these are all signs of being hostage to market sentiment. Instead of wasting energy fighting anxiety, it’s better to learn to ignore it. Set your own strategy: act when it’s time to act, stay on the sidelines when it’s better to wait.
This circle isn’t short of voices that create anxiety, but it lacks those who can stay rational. Being part of the minority is actually the most stable choice.

That's right, but knowing is one thing; when the market explodes, it's still easy to lose control.
I admit I'm the kind of person easily driven by FOMO. When I see others chasing public chains, my hands start to itch. Only after losing money do I realize that the anxiety in this circle is just a trap.

Sounds good, but how many can actually do it? Anyway, I'm both anxious and chasing the rise.

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but execution is too difficult. Staring at the screen for an hour and wanting to chase the rally—this problem needs to be fixed.

It sounds good, but there are very few who can truly do it. I've seen too many people who say they are calm but can't stop their hands.

It's true, but knowing is easy, doing is hard. Every time the market moves, my mind starts to get chaotic...
---
Really, listening to more principles doesn't help; in the end, you still have to rely on yourself to resist looking at the charts.
---
Not watching the charts is too difficult; I always feel like missing out on 5 minutes means losing a lot.
---
The worst thing is seeing screenshots of others making money, instantly blowing up my mentality.
---
Calm? Ha, let's talk when my account jumps to a new level.
---
Actually, it's just a lack of confidence, always feeling like others see something I haven't.
---
Can one really make money by sticking to a strategy alone? It all seems like later thoughts.
---
When anxiety hits, you should buy—that's the truth.
---
Doing what a minority does sounds great, but when you lose money, you'll regret not following the trend.
---
Quitting the bad habit of chasing gains is even harder than quitting smoking.
