Tell me about Virtual in the comments, and it reminded me of something.
I completely exited Virtual last month, and even then, my feed was full of discussions about Virtual.
From what I saw, it definitely seemed to have turned, but countless feeds were saying to wait for the next launch of Virtual and to gather points.
Now? Do you hear anything about Virtual these days?
(Maybe it's just me not hearing it, haha)
——
That's how it is, yeah. I'm not saying this to brag.
If you don't have your own criteria for judgment, you'll just be trapped in the atmosphere and won't think of getting out until it goes bad.
What if Virtual had continued to do well?
I would have just become a fool... but at least I made a profit, right? I didn't lose anything.
No matter how much you look at charts, news, and insights, what good does it do?
If you can't utilize it yourself,
In a bull market, it only gets worse if the atmosphere is stronger; it won't be weak.
If you can't be cautious, you won't even notice.
Let me clearly explain why we are still at the beginning of a bull market.
Right now, people are overthinking when they press the buy button.
In other words, they have a lot of concerns about buying.
For example: What if it’s a peak? What if there’s a short-term correction? What if it’s a washout again? It looks a bit risky, what about the use case, and what about the tokenomics, etc.
——
In the latter part of a bull market, not even spending 10 seconds on such critical, pessimistic thoughts and just hitting the BUY happy button is what a true bull market looks like.
Why does that happen?
When you accumulate experiences of missing out on opportunities while overthinking, that’s how people become.
Those who were bold in the early stages are seeing their money multiply, while those waiting for corrections or scared of declines miss out, and then see prices rise by dozens of percent a few days later.
Then the initial resolve of "I need to be safe" goes out the window, and they gradually lose the ability to perceive risks as risks.
Then what happens if they succeed once or twice?
That becomes ingrained in them.
Do you know why this is scary?
It’s not about consciously deciding, "Oh, I’ll just take on the risk!" and changing your perspective; it happens so naturally and gradually that you don’t even realize it.
It’s genuinely difficult to recognize.
You probably think you’re not like that, right? You think you’ll catch the end of the bull market and exit well with rational judgment?
You will be like that too, haha.
Negative perspectives will start to seem foolish, and you’ll think of the complaints of those who didn’t make money as just noise.
——
So, it’s necessary to train yourself to seek out and listen to opposing opinions, to think critically, and to maintain objectivity.
Why training?
If you don’t think of it as training, you’ll never be able to do it; you’ll just brush it off as nonsense.
——
Having discussions about investment perspectives with friends regularly can help overcome this.
It’s not about whose perspective is right or wrong.
You need to solidify your own perspective and repeatedly discuss and revise it.
Then who knows… at some point, you might suddenly stop and think, "Wait, is this right?"
