Do you remember when $AXS was just over two dollars? Back then, I just didn't dare to buy. Looking back at those who bought early, when it was over 130 dollars they dared to buy blindly, and by the time $ILV reached over a thousand dollars, they still thought it was cheap—Honestly, thinking about this kind of confidence and execution now, it’s a bit frightening.

Looking back at the trends of top assets like $BTC and $ETH, combined with the fluctuations of those smaller coins, you can understand why some people manage to catch the bottom, while others always operate in the opposite direction. The market is like that—when it’s time to act, you lack the courage; when you regret, you realize—those missed opportunities are often more painful than the profits gained.

Maybe this is the cruelest lesson in investing.

AXS-11.81%

ILV-9.12%

BTC-0.66%

ETH0.27%

Back then, I was really stubborn, and now I look back, I can't help but feel tears. Where's the confidence I was supposed to have? I turned around and chickened out—that's just who I am. Why could those people go all-in with their eyes closed, and I just couldn't hold on? Missed opportunities are truly more painful than the money lost.

Really, if I had had the courage back then, I wouldn't still be filling in the pits now --- The courage to buy blindly, I still haven't learned it --- That hits too close to home, I'm always a armchair strategist after the fact --- The fate of the timid is to always be one step late --- This is a bloody lesson; when you can't see the bottom, you need to be more tough --- I'm the one who operates in the opposite way, numb now --- Still daring to buy with a thousand yuan, that mindset is truly exceptional --- The opportunity is right in front of you, but the problem is you simply can't see clearly --- The cost of regret is too high, like going bankrupt directly --- Poor execution ability is the reason for losing everything

On-chain data has long shown the flow of chips, the problem is that retail investors can't understand it. That wave of AXS was just institutions quietly accumulating, and you're still hesitating while the funds have already piled up... This isn't a matter of courage, it's an information gap.

lmao if you actually ran the math on those entry points... $AXS at $2 had insane gas-adjusted ROI margins. the real move wasn't the balls, it was not calculating your slippage properly.
