Many people say they missed the market opportunity, but in fact, it's not that the chance didn't come, it's that they got off early.

Buying an asset itself isn't difficult; the real test is whether you can hold on.

Pullbacks, oscillations, shakeouts—these are all normal parts of the market, but they are the easiest to shake people out. Many people actually got in early, but when they see a slight dip, they start to panic.

Afraid of losing money on a pullback, afraid of giving back the profits they've worked hard to earn, they simply get annoyed and sell in a panic. And then? The market continues to move into its most aggressive wave.

That's when you realize you had already exited the market.

Many people don't lack the right direction; they simply aren't mentally prepared to withstand volatility. They take profits quickly at the first sign of gains, and by the time they confirm the trend, the price has already surged.

In the crypto world, choosing the right project is just the beginning. Those who truly make money are always those who can endure the process and keep their positions steady. It's not just about picking coins; it's a psychological and discipline challenge.

It's a real punch to the gut; only at the moment of cutting losses do you understand what reverse operation really means. If you can't hold on, you just can't hold on; a poor mindset is just a poor mindset—that's the truth of the crypto world. It's always the same—drop a little and you run, then watch others make a killing. Choosing the right coin is easy; the hard part is not looking at the K-line. It's the same old story—sounds right, but when it happens to you, you still have to cut. Mental preparation? That's a joke; no one can do it.

honestly the real issue isn't capital allocation, it's that most people never modeled their liquidation psychology properly. they panic-sold at exactly the point where basis points mattered most... told you so after literally every correction lmao
