The global cryptocurrency market is experiencing uneven conditions—Japan's market remains enthusiastic, while Chinese investors are adopting a wait-and-see approach. This reflects the harsh reality of cyclical rotation. What’s most frustrating is that the asset allocation decisions of older family members often lag behind market trends, either missing out on upward movements or getting trapped at historical highs. The crypto market tests not only technical understanding but also mindset and timing.

The Japanese really dare to do it. We're still hesitating here, and they've already gotten on board. It's true that the older generation's setup is lagging behind. Last year, when I asked if they wanted to buy, I didn't persuade them. Now they're blaming me... Basically, it's a mindset issue—greed and fear take turns playing out, and no one can escape. The market loves this. When you hesitate, it soars; when you sell, it drops again. That's how crypto is. Timing is always the hardest, while the technology is actually simple.

The Japanese people have truly awakened this time, while we are still struggling... The lessons from our elders: always buy at the highest point and sell at the lowest valley.

The Japanese really understand, while we are still struggling here. Elders are right, the hardest part is timing the entry... --- Missing out is uncomfortable, being caught in a trap is even worse, this is the normal state of crypto. --- The biggest enemy is really mindset; technical skills are less important. --- Haha, just observe and wait, anyway it's a losing game. --- The atmosphere over in Japan is completely different; Chinese investors are indeed timid now. --- Cycle rotation? Basically, it's just gambling with luck. --- If elders miss out, let them miss out; being caught in a trap is also deserved, because of slow reactions. --- That's why I never listen to my family’s financial advice... --- No matter how good the timing is described, it still comes down to luck. --- I remember my mom asking me when I would buy coins, and I just kept silent.

Really making a fortune over in Japan, while we're still debating whether to get on board... Elders have it even worse, it's always a reverse operation rhythm.

Japanese people really go all out on bottom-fishing, while we're still struggling... That older generation's logic really can't be saved.

Missing out and getting trapped, my parents' generation was just taking turns... Japanese people really have a high level of understanding, while we're still debating whether to get on board or not.

Japanese people really are willing to get on board, while we're still hesitating... The elders are still using last year's arguments to advise me not to play with this stuff haha

Haha, the Japanese are still pushing hard, while we have already pulled back. --- Elders are always the last to know the bottom. --- That really hits home; timing is really unpredictable. --- Cycles are just here to cut leeks, no problem. --- Waiting and watching is actually more exhausting than going all in; watching the market every day feels like watching stocks. --- Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, it's better to just relax and do nothing. --- New funds are continuously flowing into Japan, while here it's already a stockpile game. --- The elders who got caught are mostly those who started with at least 100,000, I feel for them. --- Strong technical knowledge is useless if your mindset isn't stable. --- Chinese investors now are neither daring to buy nor to sell, just hanging there.
