A mindset that cannot be crushed even by deeper declines

The most testing time for psychological resilience is during a market crash. Some choose to cut losses and exit, while others grit their teeth and hold on. True traders often see clearly at this moment — when prices drop, opportunities also arise.

"Down but not out" is not just a slogan, but a truth learned through the ups and downs in the crypto world. During a bear market, lie in wait and make your move when the rebound comes. History always repeats itself; every bottom has given birth to new winners. The key is to persevere until that moment.

That's so true. The group of people who cut their losses probably regret it to the point of turning their intestines green now. A bear market is the true test; those whose mentality collapses have already been eliminated. Bottom positioning sounds simple, but actually doing it is deadly. I'm also betting on holding on until that moment. History indeed repeats itself, but the gamble is whether you can survive until you see that day.

That's right, the key is to stay alive until that moment, endure and persist, and in the end, still die before dawn.

That's right, but the hardest part is really the two words "bite the bullet." --- Listening to the bear market's dormancy sounds simple, but watching the account shrink is really uncomfortable. --- Every time a bottom is born, winners emerge, but a bunch of newbies get buried. Is the probability really that high? --- Down but not out, sounds easy to say, but when you have no bullets in hand, this phrase hits hard. --- Alright, I'm that fool who chooses to bite the bullet and hold on stubbornly. --- Waiting for the rebound is key, but the main thing is you have to endure it.

That's right, the group that sold at a loss must be regretting it now. Lying flat during a bear market is the real strategy; having reserves makes you less anxious. The true test isn't mindset but the thickness of your wallet, haha. Bottom-fishing is easier to talk about than to actually do, and it makes you break out in cold sweat. Every time, we say to hold on, but as soon as it drops 20%, we start to waver. Is history repeating itself? This time, we're really different... right? Few people can endure a sharp decline; most have already sold early.

That's right, once your mindset collapses, everything is over. I'm the kind of person who grits my teeth and keeps going. Anyway, since it's already like this, might as well hold on for a few more days.

That's right, the bear market is the real opportunity to buy the dip. --- Mindset is something that’s easy to talk about but really hard to do. --- It's not like I haven't been through it; enduring it with grit makes you a winner. --- Those who cut losses are the ones who haven't seen a real rebound. --- The saying that winners are born at the bottom is so true; the key is to hold on.

That's right, those who cut their losses are the ones who are scared out, the true winners have already positioned themselves at the bottom. --- The saying that the bear market is just a dormant period has been heard too many times; the key is still having enough capital to hold on. --- down but not out, I used this phrase as a motto before, now it feels a bit ironic. --- Every time there's a sharp decline, people say the opportunity has arrived, so why is my account still falling? --- Holding on until that moment? Brother, I've already persisted for three years, still waiting for a rebound. --- History repeats itself for real, but what also repeats are my experiences of losing money. --- While seeing the opportunities clearly, I also see the green in my account. --- The true trader's mindset is indeed different, but I don't think I'm that kind of person.

You're right, we just have to hold through this wave. I was so regretful when I sold off last time.

Basically, most people have lost their composure. I've seen too many people sell at a loss, only to see the price go up again later. That's what they say, but how many can actually endure and get through it? Bottom-fishing sounds simple, but when it comes down to the real deal, the hands tremble. History repeats itself, but you have to survive until that moment. This wave is really fierce, but I'm still here.
