After years of navigating the crypto world, you'll notice a very ironic phenomenon: most people jump in during a bull market. At that time, no one is afraid, they go all-in on spot holdings at the high, even leverage and go all-in. As a result, when the bear market hits, they lose everything. When the market hits bottom, the entire network is filled with lamentations, and prices are smashed to levels once thought unimaginable. The question is—should they start to act at this point? But the reality is quite the opposite. When it's time to build positions, their legs turn weak; those who have already built positions don't dare to hold through the next bull run. Isn't that ironic?



Can these people make money? The answer is obvious. The market is always talking about "be greedy when others are fearful," suggesting buying when no one cares and selling when everyone is talking. It sounds very reasonable. But how many actually do it?

The market is like a performance. Price is just the lighting effect on stage; what truly drives the plot is the resonance of audience emotions. Without actors, only spectators. When prices go up, more and more people rush onto the stage, and eventually, the entire market is carried by this emotion, staging scenes of prosperity and decline.

So what should we do? Buy the rights to future rises during the collapse—that's the correct stance for rational investors. The key is to have your own ideas and not be swayed by market sentiment.

Looking at the experience of cryptocurrency over the past ten-plus years makes it clear. This thing has been suppressed by regulation, questioned, ridiculed, but each time it fights back fiercely, slapping those who speak ill of it in the face. Now, once again, it has fallen and become a target.

What’s your choice?

That's right, it's a psychological game. Most people can't overcome their own fears. The most genuine feeling is when your legs go weak during a bear market. I've been through it myself. Every time I say I will go against the trend, but I still follow the crowd, haha. Wait, does that mean I've been doing the wrong thing all along? This wave is indeed at the bottom, but who can be sure? Buying during the collapse sounds great, but executing it is a different story. Crypto indeed has strong vitality; how many times have I been proven wrong and still survived? The psychological barrier is much harder to break than the technical one. To put it simply, it takes courage, but we all lack that.

That's right, it's these people, each claiming to be "big bottom-fish" in their mouths, but when it comes to critical moments, they go weak in the knees. If they are cowardly and just lie flat, such people truly can't make money. I'm asking, who really dares to go against the trend when the entire network is wailing? To be fair, everyone is more timid than the next when doing so. This time during the decline, I was just watching to see how many are actually buying. The market is like this; most people are just there to be a backdrop. Recognizing this point is half the battle won.

Well said, there aren't many who truly dare to go all-in in despair, including myself.

hypothesis: the mass psychology here mirrors the byzantine generals problem, except everyone's both a general AND a traitor depending on market sentiment... technically speaking, we're just watching oracle networks fail in real-time, except the "oracle" is pure collective delusion wrapped in candlesticks.
