There's a quiet psychology at play in crypto markets: some people unconsciously want others to fail, not out of malice, but to validate their own inaction. The logic is simple but flawed—if someone who actually grinded it out only made $2, then staying idle suddenly looks smart.

But here's the thing: comparing zero effort to minimal results creates a dangerous illusion. It's easy to convince yourself that doing nothing is the wiser play when you're looking at a $2 gain after months of work. The risk-free narrative feels justified. Yet it completely ignores the market mechanics, timing, and learning curve that separate a quiet period from an active one.

This mindset costs more than most realize.
