There's an interesting question that has always intrigued me—if you could travel back in time, with the knowledge you have now, would you dare to make a move?
Take mainstream coins and some smaller tokens as examples. The spectacular market movements of $BTC back then now seem obvious in hindsight, but in that chaotic information era? You might not have had the courage to go all in. The same logic applies to tokens like $PIPPIN and $LIGHT—it's clear in the rearview mirror, but if they were really in front of you at that time, whether your knowledge and courage would be enough is another matter.
That's why history is always easily overestimated. We often judge past decisions based on current results, but what truly tests a person is whether they can make judgments when information is incomplete and the outlook is uncertain.

That's right, which is why I always want to laugh when I review on-chain data—now anyone can become a master by analyzing with a rearview mirror. Back then, if you really used wallet addresses to track those tokens, your hands would be trembling.
No courage, really.

To be honest, if I could go back, I wouldn't dare to go all in. With such a huge information gap, who the hell can see clearly...
But I've long since seen through regrets. The key is to recognize your own strength and limitations.

Ha, I'm the type of player who regrets later. Now looking at the BTC chart, everyone is hyping it up. If I could really go back to those chaotic times? I'd be a coward, and there's no way I'd go all in.
