It feels like earning money after a whole day of delivery work. To be honest, when I used to watch the price fluctuations of spot holdings and see $4,000 sway, I could still stay calm. But the moment I heard that phrase, I exploded—"Don't be afraid of spot," this really harms people.
Later, I realized that what "Don't be afraid of spot" actually means is: for Bitcoin spot holdings in a bear market, you buy and hold, don't make reckless moves. It sounds quite reasonable. But the question is, how many people truly understand the prerequisites of this statement? And how many have been misled by this phrase in completely different market environments?
My advice is straightforward: from now on, if anyone tells you "Don't be afraid of spot," no matter how confident they sound, no matter when you entered the market, and no matter whether you're buying Bitcoin or not, just block that person. Such general advice often doesn't consider your actual situation and will only lead you further down the wrong decision-making path. Trading is something you need to think through yourself.
