Looking at some comments in the square, I really can't help but laugh. Losing $24,400 and then saying you've already escaped the position? What kind of luck do you need to have to have such confident perception?

Either your psychological preparation is too well done, or your initial judgment was so far off that it's still far off now. In this wave of Ethereum's market, some are buying at the bottom, some are chasing at the top, and the scale of losses varies. But those who stubbornly package their losses as having "escaped the position" really make people a bit puzzled.

Losses are losses, there's no need to flatter yourself. In the face of the market, everyone is equal. Those who should reflect, reflect; those who should cut losses, cut losses. That's more important than anything else.

I'm truly amazed by this self-deception; even after losing everything, they still manage to make up stories.

Damn, this logic is really incredible. Losing more than 20,000 and still claiming to have escaped the predicament. I'll never learn this in my lifetime.

Haha, really, self-deception is the most common thing in the crypto world. It's okay for the big brother to lose 24,400 and still boast about getting out of the trap; how tough must that mentality be? Honestly, it's just about not accepting the loss and making up stories to tell oneself.

Haha, this really cracked me up. The ability to build this mindset is exceptional. Is admitting defeat so difficult, everyone? It's just a loss, so what? Why deceive ourselves? I really can't learn this kind of wisdom. Honestly, how good it is to see through without exposing it, but you insist on this self-hype.

I've seen enough of this self-deception... If you're going to lose, just lose. Why bother fabricating stories?

I really can't learn this level of mental resilience.

Haha, laugh to death, the highest realm of self-deception, this is it. --- Losing 24,400 still claiming to be out of trouble? Brother, your mindset construction is really top-notch. --- This is a typical "I didn't lose, it's the market problem," I've heard it many times. --- Dressing up losses with a mask, a new art form in the crypto circle? --- Bottom catching a knife, top chasing highs, turns out they are all the same, interesting. --- Really amused me, loss packaging skills, how strong must the imagination be. --- Basically, it's about not being able to accept losses, then imagining a "get out of trouble" story to tell yourself. --- Ethereum's recent move has indeed revealed many people's true colors; some admit losses, others deceive themselves. You can tell who profits and who loses just by watching.

This is the incentive distortion in game theory, where the cost of self-deception is much lower than admitting a loss.

Haha, the art of self-deception is truly well interpreted. I really admire this ability to adjust one's mindset. Losing more than 20,000 yuan and still confident in finding a way out, how much self-deception does that take? All kinds of show-offs in the crypto world, but this trick is the most outrageous. Instead of comforting yourself, it's better to honestly admit defeat. Eating noodles at the bottom and chasing highs at the top, in the end, it's all the same. Really, stop adding drama to yourself; the market won't change because of your words.

Haha, really, self-deception is the best way to make people laugh. --- Losing 24,400 yuan and still dare to say it's a way out, I really can't hold back from thinking this mindset is unbelievable. --- Some people deceive themselves so comfortably, but the market doesn't play along. --- Just whitewash the losses, really think we can't see through it. --- Overdoing psychological construction is indeed a problem; admitting it earlier is better than self-deception. --- Chasing the bottom after buying the bottom, in the end, everyone becomes a story-teller, and I just watch and laugh. --- Do you have to package it up to accept the fact that you lost money? --- I've seen this kind of statement many times; it's just that the butt decides the brain.
