The more I think about it, the more I realize that the saying "Dare to be the last in the world" isn't about being conservative—it's about true wisdom.



Whether you're doing short-term trading or long-term positioning, this logic holds true. Especially for us retail investors, we need to engrave this saying into our minds.

When you see an opportunity, don't get carried away. The biggest fear for retail investors is sunk cost—getting stuck at a high price, unable to cut losses, and making things even harder by holding on.

A truly good project won't skyrocket tenfold just because people are hyping it today. The main players need time to accumulate, shake out weak hands, and stir things up. Why rush?

But don't just sit back and do nothing, either. You still need to keep an eye on the market every day—watch how the candlesticks move, whether trading volume is increasing or shrinking, and if there's any unusual on-chain activity. You need to do your homework.

Don't laugh—sometimes, taking it slow actually lets you move the fastest.

That's right, you can't rush it. I've learned my lesson from chasing highs too many times—now I only get in after a breakout. I've gone from a newbie getting rekt to an experienced retail investor.

Well said, retail investors are easily consumed by FOMO. When they see others making tenfold gains, they get envious. I’ve really suffered from this myself—used to chase highs until I was sick of it. Now I’ve learned to wait, and my returns have actually become much more stable.

What you said is absolutely right, but out of ten retail investors, nine and a half will go bankrupt before they can actually do it. Sunk costs are easy to talk about, but the moment your hand trembles, you forget everything.

You're absolutely right. I’ve suffered losses before because I was too "impatient"—the pain of buying in at the top.
