#美联储回购协议计划 Have you ever wondered why, even though the market has already passed, you are still caught up in repeated doubts?
There is a phenomenon in psychology called the "chasing snake effect." When you encounter a snake on the side of the road, it turns and runs away, but you are still standing there—will it come back? Why did you get so close just now? What if you get bitten?
The snake has long disappeared, yet you have fallen into a dead loop in your mind. Replaying, hypothesizing, and deducing over and over again, you have trapped yourself in a cage of your own making.
This is the real state of many people in the crypto community.
$BTC has risen and I regret not having invested heavily; $BTC has fallen and I regret having bought in too early. The missed opportunities linger, and the positions that have already been closed keep replaying in my mind. The anxiety does not stem from the current market, but from the past that has already settled. $ETH is volatile like this, and $BNB is even more so during its market movements.
The normal logic is: something happens → handle it → turn the page. But the snake-chasing effect distorts this process into: something happens → constantly reflecting → infinite assumptions → self-amplification → permanent stagnation.
Breaking the impasse is actually quite simple—one must bear the risks that one can truly tolerate, and be decisive and confident when making decisions, in order to see through the essence of the market, rather than being drowned by one's own illusions.

That hits too close to home. I'm just that fool who was scared by the snake and keeps thinking about it.

Oh no, it's me again. Living in a parallel universe all day, adding drama to myself.
I told you, every time I think it will definitely work next time, but the result is still the same.

Damn, it really hit home; that line about pumping keeps replaying in my mind, just stabbing me right in the heart.

Oh dear, that's just me, always the armchair critic after the fact.

Oh, you are so right. I am that person who was stunned by the snake, and I am still replaying it over and over in my mind.
