Speaking of which, it's a bit embarrassing. When I was wildly trading RAVE during the trading competition, I was actually complaining about how this coin kept going down, thinking it might just stay like that. Looking back now, I should apologize to my previous self for being so bearish.

Although I didn't hold any real money during the trading competition and was just participating in the trading contest, I still witnessed this wave of market movement—from 0.4 all the way up to 0.5. Seeing the increase compared to the pessimistic predictions at the time, it felt a bit like a slap in the face. This can also serve as a good reminder that the market always has its ups and downs—sometimes, when you feel the most hopeless, it might just be the turning point.

This experience has given me some insights—although there were no real profits from the trading competition, it helped me observe the coin's trend more rationally, rather than being emotionally driven by short-term fluctuations.

Selling too early is really frustrating, but on the other hand, that's the meaning of our trading competition—practice, after all.

Haha, being slapped in the face by RAVE is quite a thing. When I was shouting bankruptcy back then, I didn't expect to turn things around.

Haha, really, a face-slapping moment. Why was I so pessimistic back then? Missing out on the 0.4 to 0.5 wave is a bit regrettable, just watching the show. The market loves to mess with people's mentality; despair often becomes a turning point. Learned that. Trading competitions don't make money but temper the mind, and that's worth it. Next time, don't be in such a rush to get off. Stay calm and composed.

Haha, I find this wave of RAVE quite interesting as well. I really didn't expect it to rebound so strongly at the time.

Haha, I was again mistaken, this is my daily routine. Oh my, why did I have such a pessimistic view back then? Does it hurt now that I’ve been proven wrong? The most important lesson from trading competitions is not to be emotionally hijacked, and I couldn’t agree more. I watched the 0.4 to 0.5 wave happen right in front of my eyes, and I regret it so much that I feel sick. Is the most hopeless moment actually at the bottom? I just remember how many stupid things I’ve done like that before. If you ask me, the crypto world should be like this—don’t overthink, follow your instincts, or you’ll die faster. This time I finally understand why some people can buy the dip; indeed, the moments we fear the most are often the opportunities.

Oh no, this wave of RAVE really slapped me in the face. Why was I so pessimistic back then? If you can't predict accurately, just watch the show honestly. Don't gamble with yourself—that's what I've learned. A 0.4 to 0.5 increase is indeed ironic, a slap in the face but satisfying. The meaning of the trading competition is exactly this: when there's no real money to burn, you can think clearly. The ones who always lose are the confident ones. I've learned my lesson this time.

It has proven that before a technical reversal, there is always a wave of emotional squeeze. The actual data of 0.4 to 0.5 is right here. My previous pessimistic tone indeed failed to grasp the long-term logic of the protocol.
