One is too many, a thousand is never enough.

This perfectly captures the paradox of crypto markets. Investors who finally bought Bitcoin at $20k think one coin is excessive—until it hits $60k, then suddenly a thousand feels insufficient. The same applies to altcoins, NFTs, and yield farming opportunities. Fear of missing out (FOMO) and regret aversion create this psychological loop where accumulation never satisfies.

In traditional finance, this might seem irrational. But in Web3, where volatility meets unlimited upside potential, the math keeps changing. Yesterday's "enough" becomes today's "barely started." This mentality drives both market cycles and personal portfolio management—some chase maximum coins, others question if diversification itself is enough protection.

The real question isn't about quantity. It's about whether your conviction matches your position size.
