Haha, that's really hilarious. I can add one more: always following the trend and buying those worthless shitcoins, and end up losing everything.

Haha, that was really amazing, I got all of them right. --- The last one was incredible. How many wallet mnemonics have been stored in the cloud drive... --- One missing: swore I would never look at the market again, but five minutes later I opened ten tabs --- Bro, are you talking about me? How do you know so accurately --- And still insisting that I am long-term bullish, but I actually sold off early and ran away --- The one about the portfolio plummeting hit home; I stare at the screen every day just to see green numbers --- But on second thought, who hasn't done that... Wait, I think I need to calm down and cool off

Haha, this is exactly how some of my friends are. --- They've spent all their gas fees and are still talking about long-term holding—typical double standards in action. --- The last one is brilliant; I've seen too many people like that lose everything. --- Missing one: constantly watching others make money while losing the most themselves. --- I've heard the phrase "This time is different" at least five hundred times. --- Adding one more: a verbally proclaimed value investor, but actually a leek harvest machine. --- The coins bought on hype are now all working for the exchanges.

Haha, isn't this just a true reflection of my friend? Yelling every day that it's about time to go all in. --- Gas fees are almost enough to bankrupt me, yet they're still researching technological prospects. Truly impressive. --- The killer move of storing seed words in cloud storage—heard last year someone got wiped out this way. --- And to add one more: watching 30 group discussions on market trends every day, but still not understanding anything. --- Portfolio down 90%, yet still desperately flipping K-line charts. Such mental resilience is unmatched. --- That old project from 2018 is really a living fossil. How can they still have the nerve to say they were early investors? --- Always say this time is different, but it’s still the same old tricks. How many times has this cycle repeated? --- Listening to this description, it feels like they’re talking about me... Never mind, I’ll just keep HODLing. --- Influencers chasing after trends have their brains completely washed. Can you really make money by following the crowd? --- Panic selling dips is the most deadly. Those shouting HODL are often the first to run.

Haha, oh my God, this is exactly describing myself last year... The part about gas fees really hit me, burning thousands of dollars only to end up with a bunch of zeroed-out coins.
