Playing on-chain card games has taught me what patience really means.

It's not about blindly rushing in, but about stopping to think carefully before making a move. I clear my mind, carefully choose my card combination, and then wait.

After drawing a complete deck of five cards, I sit back. Over the next 24 hours, the system will track the discussion heat across the entire community. If my card combination starts to heat up and trend, I win.

This is not luck, but a sense of rhythm. Know when to make a move, but more importantly, know when to stop.

Well said. This logic is actually the essence of crypto... It's not a gambler's mentality, but a reading of the market sentiment. I used to be impatient too, wanting to buy the dip at the first sign of volatility. But the result is 🤷—the more you wait, the more opportunities you have. This principle applies universally from card games to trading markets.

This is exactly what I've been pondering all along; waiting is truly much more difficult than acting.

That's right, this is the difference between on-chain players and gamblers—one waits for the right opportunity, while the other throws everything in randomly.

That's right, this is the essence of hype. Waiting for the trend doesn't mean doing nothing; many people just can't understand this point.

Honestly, the real test is at the moment of bottom-fishing; holding back is much harder than rushing out.

There's nothing wrong with that, but I think most people still can't hold through the 24 hours. When the hype rises, they want to sell immediately, but end up missing the peak. Mindset is really more difficult to cultivate than technique.

Well said. Actually, this is gambler psychology; knowing when to stop is more important than anything else.

Well said, family. This is the essence of Web3. I used to be impatient too, but now I finally understand that making money is all about timing, not just quick reflexes.
