Riding a bull run feels effortless—your bags pump, sentiment carries you forward, and hodling seems automatic. But here's where most traders lose conviction: the pullback.

When red candles start stacking and your portfolio bleeds 30%, 50%, even deeper—that's when emotion kicks in. Fear whispers, FOMO fades, and paper hands take over. The difference between those who accumulate generational wealth and those who panic-sell? It's not timing or luck.

It's education. Understanding on-chain metrics, recognizing historical cycles, knowing *why* you bought—these become your anchor when volatility tests your resolve. Research kills emotion. Knowledge beats impulse every single time.

In crypto, patience isn't just a virtue. It's the edge.

That's right, but I'm just worried that when the price drops, people get emotional, don't do enough research, and buy the dip, only to buy in the middle of the decline.

Really, everyone is a genius during a bull market. When it drops 30%, you start doubting life. This is the difference between paper hands and true hodlers.

A bull market is great, but when it drops, you can really see who the true believers are and who are just paper hands. To put it simply, you need to learn more and not just follow the crowd blindly.
