Every time an opportunity arises, most people actually can't see it clearly. Not to mention being prepared in advance.

Only those who held on through the initial sharp decline truly understand what it feels like. And what about the veterans who really grasp the market rhythm? They have experienced at least two complete cycles—the initial rapid drop and the current sideways adjustment. Missing one cycle means a missing piece in their entire cognitive system.

You can warn others repeatedly, emphasize the risks and opportunities over and over again. But honestly, the outcome is hard to change. The vast majority tend to choose to wait and see during the most confusing moments, only to realize when the trend turns back—oh, the opportunity has already passed.

This is really not about IQ or analytical skills. Frankly, it’s human nature.

Just look at this wave of BNB market movement and you'll understand. The market never directly tells you the answer. It only quietly paves the way during the most difficult times. By the time most people realize it, everything has already become clear. Unfortunately, by then, the cost of getting on board is no longer the same.

That was so intense, I am just one of the many who can't understand it Can't get through those few months, everything I say is useless BNB this wave is really fierce, I wish I hadn't hesitated in the first place Human nature is weak, there's no way to overcome it It takes two cycles to understand, I'm still a long way off Try again next time? I feel like I'll make the same mistake again Opportunities come at the most desperate times, but I just have a shaky hand

Honestly, this time I am that "gritting my teeth and holding" fool. I'm a bit regretful for not adding to my position more aggressively. Really, just looking at BNB's trend is blood-curdling. If I had known earlier, I would have trusted my instincts. Human nature is so much harder to break than technical analysis. I am just a living lesson. Every time I want to buy the dip, I end up chasing the high, and it's just endless frustration. People who understand the market are silently building positions, while noisy ones are calling signals. You can see clearly who is genuine and who is fake in minutes. The opportunity is right in front of you, but your fingers just won't move. That's the most heartbreaking part. Two cycles? I am still catching up on lessons, far behind.

That's why I always say you need to load supplies every day, but some people still wait for the trend confirmation before FOMO entering. By then, the launch window has already closed. --- That wave of BNB really, the anxiety during the sideways trading period can drive people to bleed out. Those who can hold on with grit are the winners. There's no use regretting now. --- Honestly, understanding the market isn't difficult; what's hard is not wavering when dopamine crashes. This purely tests psychological resilience. --- Veterans of two cycles are indeed different. Missing one cycle is like missing a dimension; the cognitive system is just missing that crucial piece. --- Human nature, the hardest times are actually the best supply periods, but 99% of people choose to sell their tickets, and then there's nothing afterward. --- The market's harshest place is right here. It won't tell you proactively; you have to survive in hell mode yourself to deserve to see the light. --- By the time the public reacts, the ticket prices have already doubled. This is the essential difference between getting in early and getting in late.

Really, it's ridiculous to see people around you miss opportunities and just leave. The ones who can't endure are always the majority. No matter what you say, in the end, you have to get through the darkest times yourself. Only after experiencing it do you understand that armchair strategizing is useless. By the time you realize it, you'll only be eating dirt, haha.

That was really harsh, it hit deep --- I'm the kind of person who overthinks the most, every time I watch opportunities slip away --- It takes two cycles to understand the truth, but I fear it might take three cycles --- Human nature is really harder to predict than K-line charts --- I saw BNB rising in that wave, but I couldn't bring myself to buy, now it looks like a mystery --- Blindly seeing opportunities as risks, this illness is incurable --- So, if you can't endure the toughest days, all analysis is useless --- Every time I say next time for sure, but next time I still hesitate, it's really frustrating --- Missing just one cycle of understanding, I might be missing even more

That's right, this is a typical example of a game equilibrium under information asymmetry. Retail investors are always caught in the cycle of chasing gains and selling at losses, unable to break free. On-chain data has been available for a long time, but most people just can't understand it or are afraid to look at it.
