When the opportunity arises, ordinary people often can't see it clearly. By the time they truly understand, they are almost forty years old. I am a living example — how our parents' generation stumbled, our generation just repeats the same mistakes, only in a different setting. The cost of awakening? Using youth as the stake, there is no second way.
Last year, when I shifted from crypto to A-shares, my mind was full of new opportunities. But what happened? A bunch of altcoins died completely, and I didn't make any profit. From factory assembly lines to financial markets, starting from scratch by reading books and analyzing charts, I pushed myself to become a small expert in investment research. As for the money lost? Countless. Those hundredfold, thousandfold gains — I watched them slip away from my fingertips.
Later, I gradually understood a truth — in financial markets, numbers are just surface, human nature is the primary factor that determines winning or losing. Greed, fear, luck — these things are more destructive than any technical analysis. Only those who have suffered losses truly understand.

Basically, it's all caused by greed. I also saw that wave of altcoins, and there are really only a few people who can resist.

Really, seeing this makes me think of my own muddled days. Human nature is indeed the biggest enemy.

ngl, those altcoin wallet clusters screaming "typical rugpull signature" right before the collapse... i traced the transaction patterns back and it all checks out. human greed + technical incompetence = predictable losses every single time.

Really, I regret so much when I see others making money, only to realize it's too late when I get involved myself.
That wave of altcoins was also a bloody lesson for me; greed really kills.
Human nature is indeed like that, technical analysis is completely useless.
Awakening came too late, once youth is gone, it can't be regained.
Still the same saying, the market is the best at collecting IQ taxes.
