This round of market activity has made many people dream of wealth creation.
MYX is soaring, ZEC is rushing, COAI and AIA are taking turns to pump, everywhere there are screenshots of "xx times returns", making people itch with desire.
However, there is a cruel fact -
Those who truly benefit are often not the ones who shout the loudest.
The script in most people's minds: ambush at a low position → wait for takeoff → cash out at a high point → financial freedom.
But the actual plot played out: chasing after peaks → deeply trapped → panic selling → unwilling to give up and re-entering → leveraging up to trade → blowing up and exiting → ending up with a mountain of debt.
Why is this cycle always happening?
Those so-called doubling dark horses have long been quietly researched and quietly accumulated by some people during the phase when no one pays attention, possibly laying out their positions for a year or even longer.
Retail investors can't wait for this process and cannot understand the intricacies; they only start paying attention when it trends on major platforms.
When it really goes up, the mindset changes again, and I can't bear to sell, with a phrase looping in my mind forever:
"I'll run as soon as it rises again."
The market took a deep V dive, and the unrealized gains disappeared, leaving people stunned.
When the market is down, some stubbornly hold on without stopping losses, fantasizing about a reversal, and in the end, many people fall directly from the clouds into the abyss.
The ones who can truly make money in this market are often these types of people:
Bet boldly during low-demand periods, take profits during madness, and strictly execute plans during fluctuations.
It is not just passion that supports us, but discipline and patience.
If you are weak when prices rise and stubborn when they fall,
Then this market is like an emotion amplifier that specifically swallows money for you.
If you want to survive, don't charge blindly, and then learn to hold on when it's time to take.

Simply put, it's a matter of mindset; retail investors are always chasing the price, while market makers have already exited.

It's the same old story, rushing in as soon as it trends, and it's strange if you don't lose money.
---
Simply put, it's a mindset issue: greedy when it rises, timid when it falls, playing like this will eventually lead to getting liquidated.
---
Waiting for another pump to run away, only to end up being hit with a deep V without even waiting for the wave, a bloody lesson indeed.
---
Discipline sounds simple, but to actually have the nerve to buy when it's cold and sell when it's crazy, how much self-control does it take?
---
I just want to ask, how many people can really lie in ambush before it trends? Most only realize it when the heat rises.
---
Retail investors are always caught in the cycle of chasing the price and selling with bearish market; you can't blame anyone, the market thrives on this.
---
Those screenshot people are the most annoying; they show off when they make money and stay silent when they lose, selectively sharing.
---
The key issue is still not doing stop loss well; always thinking about a rebound, but ending up stuck in the dream of recovering losses.
---
Betting when it's cold really requires courage, especially when there's no hope in sight.

It's the same trap again, waiting for another pump to run, but instead a deep V just disappeared.

I'm just saying, those who can really make money are the ruthless ones, who can see clearly and hold on tight.
---
Here we go again, as soon as it hits the trending search, it's all suckers chasing the price.
---
That's right, discipline is the easiest thing to throw away; a rise makes you float, a fall makes you collapse.
---
Wait, have you noticed those who are quietly building a position? They've been quietly raking in profits.
---
What I hate the most is that "let's pump one more wave and then run" mentality, and in the end, a deep V just gives it all back.
---
Stop loss is easy to talk about, but doing it is really a pain.
---
The market is an emotional meat grinder; if your mindset is poor, you might as well gift it away.
---
Those who understand planning are already on shore; the rest are still going all in.
---
I agree that taking bets on obscure options is fine, but the key is how long you can stay calm? Most people can't hold out.
---
This cycle is just absurd, going from chasing the price to getting liquidated feels so natural.

It's this trap again; when the trending search appears, nine out of ten people rushing in are just cannon fodder.

It's this trap again, entering when the hot search is blowing up, regretting when losing money, the cycle is truly absurd.
