$BTC Two major regrets in life:

Once treating Ponzi schemes as finance,
Losing even my underwear in the process
Later mistaking real finance for Ponzi schemes and refusing it!
Missed the great opportunity to turn things around!$SOL
Good morning[咖啡][咖啡][咖啡]

The difference between a Ponzi scheme and finance is simply: Is there sustainable cash flow / a basis of consensus.

SOL also chimed in on this post, haha.

Many people back then considered "high-yield promises" as investment management, only to realize it was a scam; conversely, when faced with permissionless assets like BTC, they didn't dare to touch it, which indeed makes it easy to miss out on major cycles.

Someone who has experienced a total loss becomes more cautious afterward, which is actually a good thing.

Don't get blinded by hype; the market doesn't care about sentiment, only probabilities.

Me too: in the first half of my life, I chased highs and lost; in the second half, I was afraid of drops and didn't dare to buy, perfectly missing out.

The opportunity to turn things around has always been there; avoid making impulsive trades, focus more on asset allocation + long-term investing, and it will gradually come back.

Looking back now, the biggest cost is not losing money, but being scared to stop learning.

Let's get some coffee. First, turn off the leverage while checking the market today.
