When the market drops, many people start locking in profits and exiting. Frankly, they've lost their confidence.

Ancient people said "Great talents mature late," but it seems no one in the crypto world believes that. Everyone is dreaming of getting rich overnight. No one tells you in advance: before those hundredfold coins truly appear, you'll go through a very long period—feeling like a losing machine every day, with your mindset exploding.

Have you ever experienced moments like this:

Waking up groggily, your first reaction isn't to brush your teeth or wash your face, but to reach for your phone and check the market.

Isn't this a sign that your mentality has collapsed?

This guy's words hit too close to home. That's exactly how I am right now... The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is check the candlestick chart, I just can't stop.

Flee at the first drop, really, people like this will never make big money. My first thing after waking up is to check the candlestick chart. So what? That's called professionalism.

Uh... I'll just say it, I've also been there when I first looked at the market, but I've quit long ago. Really, once you start thinking like that, it's basically a downhill road. Bro, that hits hard. It's really just greed taking over. Who doesn't want to get rich overnight? But the reality is that the mindset is the first to break. There are too many people who can't hold on, they sell at the first dip, then regret during the rebound. This vicious cycle really needs to be broken. Can you wait for a hundredfold coin? I think it's testing human nature, most people simply can't do it. I believe in holding long-term, but the premise is that you have to survive. In a mindset explosion, everything is pointless. You're so right, people who exit the market haven't really thought through what they're doing, just pure gambler's mentality.

Really, people who run at the first drop will never wait for a hundredfold coin. Poor mentality is like this. The first thing I do when I wake up is check the K-line. Me too. No one in the crypto circle can avoid it. Honestly, it's still a matter of mental preparation. There are too many people wanting to make quick money. Every time they think about getting rich overnight, their mentality explodes first. It's hilarious. This is the norm in the crypto world. If you can't endure, you'll drop out. Those who can persist are a rare breed.

Haha, you hit the nail on the head. The first thing I do every morning is check the candlestick chart, I just can't stop. Mindset can collapse at any moment; a single limit-down and it's all over. The process of waiting for a hundredfold coin is actually a test of patience; only those who can survive will make big money. A late bloomer? No one in the crypto world believes that; everyone wants to be rich tomorrow. To be honest, people who lock in pushes aren't out of money—they just lack patience.

nah the real alpha comes from staying in the grind when liquidity dries up, not from panic selling at every downside pressure. most people can't handle the volatility surface anyway.

Mindset, you know, is like LP's impermanent loss—hard to prevent. The group of people who constantly check market prices are actually providing liquidity in the least efficient way.
