Did you only regret when Bitcoin hit a new high? Those who truly make money started taking action during the fear.

Question

【Chain Wen】Watching Bitcoin continuously hit new all-time highs, many people begin to feel nostalgic—if only they had gotten in earlier. But upon closer reflection, which early investors truly managed to bottom out? Wasn’t it only when the market was overwhelmingly bearish and everyone was panicking that they dared to take action?

This is the paradox of investing. The moments when value is easiest to recognize are precisely when people are least willing to bet. The lows filled with fear and uncertainty are often the most opportune times. Those who can stay calm and resist psychological pressure during the coldest market periods are the ones who ultimately enjoy the benefits when the market warms up.

So instead of regretting afterward, it’s better to use volatile periods to train your mindset and learn to see value amid doubt. This is the true skill needed for long-term participation in the crypto market.

That's right. Now, those who are crying about regret are the ones who didn't hold on during the 2018 hellish wave.

Not everyone has the mindset to add to their positions when they're at their most desperate.

Exactly right, but the hard part is execution. Who the hell can withstand the psychological pressure at the peak of panic selling?

Knowing it now, it's too late to regret; the key is still mindset.

It sounds nice, but when the market crashes, who isn't panicked?

Listening to "bottoming out" sounds easy, but how many can truly go all in?

Psychological resilience is indeed more valuable than technical analysis, I agree.

Last year's downturn, I just couldn't hold on; now I look back and it's all tears.

Honestly, distinguishing between opportunity and risk is not easy; most people are just gambling.

There's a saying, when you're afraid, you should be greedy... but I've never managed to do that.

That's true, but how many people actually do it?

It's really just mental preparation. When you're in a trough, you can't push through; when you're at a high, don't regret it.

This round of the market was already the time to get in. It's too late to say anything now.

Making money depends on courage; losing money depends on mindset. If you get this order wrong, it's over.

Every time there's a sharp decline, people say to buy the dip, but then they just glance at their accounts and close them. Still hoping to make quick money like that?

Sounds good, but do you really dare to throw in 20,000 yuan? I looked through the on-chain data for a while, and those addresses claiming to have bottomed out are all suspicious in terms of fund sources. It's not about mental discipline at all; it's just that they have the money to throw in.

FloorPriceWatcher · Answer

That's right, but the key is that most people simply can't do it. The more it drops, the more afraid they become; the more it rises, the more they regret. This is human nature.

The truly big influencers have long been prepared, while we retail investors are still hesitating.

It's hardest to act out of fear; building the right mindset takes time.

I previously didn't hold on until the end, which was a big regret.

Volatility periods are the true training ground; you have to learn slowly.

If you didn't make a profit this round, just adjust your mindset and wait for the next opportunity.
