After being in this circle for a long time, you will discover a pattern: the opportunities that truly lead to financial freedom are often hidden in those moments so quiet that they make you question life.

At the peak of a bull market, everyone is a stock god, but at the bottom of a bear market, only a few "fools" are left picking up chips. When the windfall comes, those who were mocked at first will see their account numbers increase by several zeros.

Excess returns in the crypto market have never belonged to the trend followers who chase highs and cut losses, but are reserved for those who dare to take a contrarian position during the winter.

Those who picked up chips during the bear market have made a killing; if you’re only getting in now, you’ll just get the scraps. --- Seriously, not buying the dip is foolish, but those who actually dare to do it are few and far between. --- You're right; today's followers will be tomorrow's bag holders. --- I've been hearing about “positioning during the winter” for three years now, but my wallet is still empty. --- Hold on, where are those people who were laughed at back then? Why haven’t we seen them come out rich as proof? --- Contrarian investing is easy in theory, but the real challenge is psychological; very few people can keep throwing money in while watching prices hit rock bottom. --- I believe this theory, but execution is hell. --- Another dream of financial freedom—time to wake up, everyone.

The bear market is the real period of cultivation. Those who are still buying the dip now will truly be the winners in the end.

The bear market is the real proving ground for true players. Those bros who are still bottom-fishing now, get ready to become legends in the crypto world. --- That's true, but how many people actually dare to throw money in at the bottom? Most just agree with their mouths but their actions tell the real story. --- People say this every time, but still end up getting stuck, haha, just accept your fate. --- If this rebound brings another altcoin season to harvest the newbies, I'll just laugh. Better to stay cautious. --- I’m the fool who gets laughed at, still waiting now—waiting for the right moment, but already feeling lost in the wind. --- Contrarian positioning sounds awesome, but in reality, it's just gambling on luck. If you bet wrong, you become the crop. --- It's true that opportunities often appear during quiet times, but the key is surviving until that moment.

The saying about picking up chips in a Bear Market has been heard a thousand times, but how many really dare to go all in? --- It sounds good, but it’s just hindsight bias; when it really hits the bottom, everyone wants to buy the dip, but when it continues to fall, they end up closing all positions. --- Reverse layout sounds cool, but not everyone can withstand the feeling of a 50% Slump in their account. --- Those who picked up chips in the cold winter, luck accounts for half, and the other half is truly strong psychological quality. --- However, this viewpoint really hits the mark; too many people shout about buying the dip but can’t actually do it. --- The problem is how do you determine that this is indeed the bottom? The probability of it continuing to drop is not low either. --- Financial freedom is just a story that is summarized afterward; the decisions made at that time were merely the mindset of a gambler.

It's easy to talk about picking up chips in a Bear Market, but how many can really hold on until that day? --- To put it bluntly, it's a test of psychological quality; I don't have that kind of courage, haha. --- I've been listening to this theory for three years, and I'm still losing more... --- It's indeed refreshing to layout during a cold winter, but I'm afraid the cold winter might continue for another three years. --- The key is how to judge the bottom; who can accurately predict it? --- Not chasing the price and selling with a bearish market is key, but you need to have spare money; if you have no bullets, you can't go against the trend no matter what. --- When I get older and look back, it all feels like gambling now. --- This talk is heard every round of bull and bear markets; is it useful? --- Those who dare to Enter a Position at the bottom are either fools or truly fearless, throwing real money in without fear of death. --- You're right, but execution is hell; most people can't hold on.
