Yesterday, I had to drag a friend along forcibly; otherwise, it might have turned into another classic drama. She saw a certain coin suddenly take off and, in a rush, insisted I place an order for her, saying she wanted a share no matter what. My cross-chain operation was still in queue, waiting for several minutes, and she was already impatiently urging me. Finally, I saw clearly — the display showed an 80% increase, with a bunch of zeros attached. It sounded really tempting, but I didn't press the buy button immediately.
In just two minutes, I turned around and looked at the price trend again, and it suddenly plunged sharply. The speed was so fast that you couldn't react in time. Seeing that long lower shadow on the candlestick chart, I suddenly felt a bit fortunate about my hesitation at the time. Imagine if I had actually bought in—how would I explain it to her now?
To be honest, moments like these really reveal who you are. Many people fall into the anxiety of "missing out," but the more urgent you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. Instead of chasing every market wave, it's better to spend more time clarifying your thoughts. Those missed opportunities often save you a chunk of money.
