Every time the market opens on the chain, I rush in headlong, looking up to see a dance of black horses everywhere. When pumping the market, I feel great, thinking I am the darling of this market; only to realize later—this is the true portrait of a trading life in the crypto world. Drawing each candlestick is like recording my own trading history. When the market rises, I boast proudly, thinking this wave is in the bag; when it falls, I start to comfort myself, telling myself that taking some losses is necessary to keep surviving in this market.

If your position management gets messy, don’t panic, and don’t rush to cut your losses; wait until market sentiment warms up again. Often, when the next rebound comes, you can confidently tell the market, "I love you." But the reality is, in the end, everyone cannot escape that one phrase—"Add more to your position." Perhaps this is the fate of crypto traders: bouncing back and forth between hope and disappointment, constantly cycling between FOMO and fear.

Always saying not to add positions, but ended up adding anyway, hilarious

Oh no, this is just my daily routine. It's so real that I don't even want to admit it. Keep adding to your position, anyway, it's already like this. Every day it's the same show. When will it end?

Haha, that's just how I am. Every time I say this wave is stable, I get slapped in the face. You're so right, the most painful moment is when you cut your losses. Really, I keep messing around between FOMO and cutting losses, and I’ve never made any money. That's it, anyway, increasing positions is the only way out. I think this describes me perfectly. Every time I believe I am the chosen one. Waiting for a rebound? My rebound has never come, my friend. I'm tired of hearing "losses are tuition," but I just can't change.

Haha, continuing to add positions is true, but cutting losses has never stopped. You're right, it's an endless cycle between self-deception and self-redemption. This wave is stable, and the next wave is coming again. That's the flavor of the crypto world. The seamless transition between FOMO and fear, I understand it too well. Another unfortunate soul recording their life on the K-line, I am too.

Ha, that hits too close to home. That's how I got cut. This is the fate of the crypto world; there's no escape. Keep adding to your position, anyway, there's no other way to live. FOMOing in again, and losing money again. I'm so used to cutting my losses.

Haha, it's really amazing, that's exactly me. --- Every time I think I am the chosen one, I end up hitting the limit down and going back to square one. --- Keep adding to your position, everyone, anyway, it's already like this. --- It hits right at the heart; cutting losses is the hardest, but not cutting means continuing to endure. --- This is just how life in the crypto world is; anyway, it can't be changed. --- Reading this article was a bit of a punch to the gut; how can it be written so accurately? --- I'll turn things around with the next rebound; I believe in this wave. --- FOMO and fear keep bouncing back and forth; indeed, it's a fate, brother. --- My positions are all messed up; just let it be and go with the flow. --- Feeling good during a pump, then starting to comfort myself during a dip—it's hilarious.
