It took several cycles to understand this principle.
You see, there was a market where 60,000 yuan came, and 86,000 really did arrive. But why do I still feel like I missed out? The reason is quite painful—it's not that opportunities weren't given, but every time at a crucial moment, you chose the safe way of living, and when volatility came, you got scared.
The most ruthless aspect of Bitcoin is right here. Its price will come back time and again, giving you repeated opportunities for confirmation. Trust is not like that. You have to endure months of uncertainty to earn that feeling of outperforming. By the time you really feel "certain," the comfortable position is long gone. Prices always rise when you have the least confidence and crash down when you are the most excited.

Really, every time I'm torn like this, by the time I'm sure, the food is already cold.
---
That hits too hard; that's how I got killed by my own mindset.
---
The curse of being cowardly is real; watching the rise but lacking the courage to enter a position.
---
The price could come back a hundred times, but my confidence is gone once, can't hold on at all.
---
Understanding the reasoning and daring to place a bet are two completely different things.
---
I hate it the most when people say "I knew it" after the fact; it’s always "I knew it" no matter when.
---
So at critical moments, what matters is not the skill, but how long you can endure without going crazy.

I think this is a reflection of me, every time I watch the market rise, I just resist and do nothing on the side.
Really, the thing about belief is so accurate, by the time you completely figure out it's time to take action, it’s already doomed.
The mentality aspect is much harder than the technical side.
