Looking back on this investment journey, my biggest realization is this: buying ETH was a bit too early—I perfectly missed the golden opportunity to buy the dip.

Back then, filled with longing for the future of blockchain, I entered the market early, but I never expected how long and brutal market cycles could be. Through a prolonged period of grinding declines and volatility, I went through a psychological rollercoaster—moving from anticipation to torment, and then to self-doubt. Watching the price repeatedly break through my mental barriers, I finally came to deeply understand the weight of the proverb: “Cycles matter far more than the K-line.”

This experience of “buying too early” gave me the most vivid lesson. It helped me understand that investing requires not only belief, but also a sense of awe for the market and respect for the rules. Too-early dip-buying is often accompanied by huge sunk costs. Rather than wasting principal and mental energy while waiting endlessly, it’s better to wait patiently until the market truly stabilizes and the right-side trend is established—then you can enter calmly. Missing the bottom is indeed regrettable, but compared with blindly trying to guess, protecting your capital and learning to control risk amid uncertainty is the confidence to get through bull and bear markets. This lesson stripped me of my impatience and taught me that in investing, patience and discipline are far more valuable than momentary impulsiveness.
