Have you ever picked up your phone at 3 a.m.? Staring at the market charts, then letting out a sigh or a relieved "tsk"? Recently, this market really can make people feel uneasy.
Just when emotions are about to freeze, a former key figure casually drops a sentence on social media: "Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will be fine." 460,000 views, and the community explodes. Some cheer and rejoice, others watch coldly. But if you only stay on the surface of "confidence calls," you've actually missed the most subtle part of this psychological battle.
The power of this statement never comes from the "prediction" itself, but from the identity recognition it triggers. It represents not just a platform, but the collective memory of the entire industry rising from hardship. The long bear market of 2018, that black Thursday in 2020, countless rapid declines—we've all been through them, survived, and even thrived. When this guy speaks, he's saying: we've seen deeper pits, so what’s this?
This is a reality check based on real experience, targeting the most vulnerable part of the market—people's minds. Short-term rises and falls can numb your rationality, but long-term victory and defeat memories can help people find their bearings again. Those seasoned traders who truly sense opportunity are already quietly acting. Signals of market bottoms are often not shouted out, but made through actions.

Staying up at 3 a.m. to monitor the market is really intense; I haven't slept at all, haha.
An old-timer's one comment has over 400,000 views. What kind of move is this? Market psychology, right?
Having experienced 2018, I'm not afraid of these fluctuations. Actions speak louder than words, indeed.

That "tsk" at 3 a.m. while watching the market, I totally get it. But rather than listening to the calls, I’d rather see what those old foxes' wallets are doing.

I did touch it at 3 a.m., but it wasn't to check the market conditions; it was to see if the bears were still selling. Now that these people are calling out, I actually don't believe it anymore. The real chips have already been quietly accumulated during the dip.

Tsk, you called it at 3 a.m., my fingers are trembling uncontrollably.
This round is indeed mentally exhausting, but thinking about surviving through 2018, what are these waves worth?
The key is who is quietly accumulating, all the talk is just empty words.

That "tsk" at 3 a.m., I understand it too well, trembling uncontrollably. But speaking of which, at times like this, you can tell who truly believes by who is quietly buying coins; those shouting on the mic are just acting.

I did touch it at three in the morning, and the feeling was incredible.
