The tricks of the big players are actually very simple.

They have long since infiltrated, waiting until Bitcoin reaches 10 million USD before "kindly" reminding you to get on board. It sounds attentive, but in reality? They’ve already made their profit.

On the other hand, when a true bottoming opportunity appears, the price might be 99% cheaper. But at that moment, most people are already defeated by fear. Afraid of buying at the high, afraid of getting trapped, and what happens? They watch the price soar right before their eyes.

The most heartbreaking thing isn’t buying wrong; it’s not buying at all. Missing out time after time, regretting again and again, eventually turning into a FOMO curse—always chasing, always regretting.

Instead of worrying about whether the entry point is perfect, ask yourself: after missing this round, how many more "rounds" are there to come?

Basically, it's a matter of psychological resilience. Most people simply don't have the guts. --- Everyone is afraid when bottom-fishing, chasing highs during rallies—that's the fate of retail investors. --- Instead of obsessing over the perfect entry point, ask yourself if you have the luck for it first. --- There's no such thing as a perfect buy point; only people lacking execution. --- You can never catch up with the market; it's your own hesitation that holds you back. --- If you didn't get in this round, the next one will be the same script—it's up to whether you learn your lesson. --- The hardest part is never the technical analysis, it's the psychological aspect, brother. --- The big players are already well-fed; what's the point of talking about it? --- The real bottom-fishing? I've never seen anyone perfectly time it; it's always after the fact. --- FOMO has become a disease. Missing out again and again follows the same logic.

Honestly, I am now the one watching helplessly as it takes off, emo to death --- Freaked out during the bottoming phase, then regretted during the rise—this cycle is truly incredible --- The scariest thing is that one day looking back, only to realize all the opportunities were missed --- When the big shots remind me, I am sleeping; waking up to find it has already taken off is indeed a joke --- FOMO is really a disease, it needs to be treated, but it seems untreatable haha --- Every time I say next round, only to regret when the next round is still at this price --- It was really scary when it was 99% cheaper, and now I am even more scared. Time to move bricks

Honestly, I am the one who watched the rise happen right in front of my eyes, regretting time and time again, it has become a habit. --- The big shots only shout after they've made enough money, by the time we hear the news, we're already holding the bag. --- Instead of wondering when to buy, better ask yourself if you have the money to buy. --- Really, the biggest regret is doing nothing, just watching. --- Every time we talk about the next round, but this round is gone, I'm exhausted. --- Fear is something that always moves faster than the price increase. --- Where were we when others were lurking? That’s the gap. --- So the problem isn’t the buying point, it’s that you simply don’t dare to act, too scared to do anything. --- FOMO again and again, eating dirt repeatedly, cycle after cycle, never tired of it.

Basically, it's psychological warfare. Big players cut the leeks and still have to pretend to be innocent. --- How many actually dare to buy the dip? Anyway, I always realize it too late. --- Feels like this is brainwashing me to chase the high, haha. --- FOMO is already completely worn out by now; every round it's the same story. --- The key is who can be sure that this is the bottom—that's the hardest part. --- Instead of blaming yourself for not buying, think about how to survive until the next round. --- When the price drops 99% and is cheap, no one dares to move. That's human nature.

Data shows that historical lows are often accompanied by the greatest uncertainty… However, very few people truly dare to buy the dip. Wait a bit longer; I need to observe the pattern first. On an hourly basis, the fear index reaching its lowest point is actually the most dangerous moment. In a market that is bound to collapse, patience is the only rational approach… But miners eating too much of this, nobody can do anything about it. To put it simply, it's not a matter of not buying, but rather not being able to tell which dip is the real bottom. FOMO can't change an irrational mechanism even if you die from it. Let's wait and see the data; relying on feelings to identify the historical low always leads to failure.

That's right, the key is mindset. Most people simply can't hold on. There will definitely be many people regretting this wave, and when it rebounds, they'll start to regret again. A perfect buying point simply doesn't exist; those who dare to go all-in actually end up making money. Sigh, it's time for self-reflection again. When Bitcoin is soaring, I find myself tangled up in the cost basis—really frustrating. It's just a lack of that bit of guts, or perhaps a lack of an experience of getting rich overnight.

That's so relatable. I'm the kind of person who watches a plane take off while still debating over the ticket price on the ground.

Really, instead of studying buying points every day, it's better to ask yourself whether you dare to take action during panic.

I'll say it first, I've heard this a thousand times, and I keep getting screwed over each time. It's correct to say that, but the problem is... who the hell knows when the real bottom is? Wait, why am I starting to worry about buying points again, damn it. Oh my god, it's both FOMO and regret, I'm that person who "always chases" sob sob. Actually, there's no perfect buying point, I'm just really worried about not having enough money. Missed this round, and I don't know when the next one will come, damn logic. It's quite heartbreaking, I've already missed 3 rounds. The big shots have indeed made enough money early on, we can only sip the soup. When will I stop being defeated by fear? The moment the price takes off, I'm always sleeping.
