Do you remember last year? A project with a $50M market cap was hyped as the "starting point of FOMO," and everyone rushed to get on board. By this year, that number has lost its impact—several projects in the hundreds of millions have appeared frequently, and the market's temper has become increasingly volatile.



There's a perspective worth pondering: "The market has ups and downs, but time always favors long-termism."

It's a beautiful statement, but the real challenge isn't understanding it—it's maintaining your composure when your account is shrinking and everyone is cutting losses. This isn't an IQ issue; it's a mindset issue.

A qualified investor is never truly mature just because they've made their first big profit. Instead, it's about hearing your rational voice during the craziest and most panic-stricken moments. Market fluctuations are normal; overcoming your greed and fear is the true practice. Growth often begins from this very hurdle.

That's right, but I'm still learning not to cut my losses now, haha. --- 50M becomes hundreds of millions, and my mindset has shifted from FOMO to fear. This change happened so quickly. --- Listening to these words makes me think of myself last year—was I really that foolish? --- The key is really mindset. Only those who can sleep soundly after their account drops 30% deserve to talk about long-termism. --- The word "cultivation" is used perfectly; the market is the best psychological counselor. --- The problem is that most people can't endure until the moment of rationality. --- Long-termism sounds easy, but it just lacks an account that can withstand dips.

Basically, you still have to endure; mindset is really more valuable than skills. The biggest test is when the account shrinks. I really don't have that strong a heart. From 50M to 100M, it looks like it's increased, but it feels like the market has also become crazier? Practice? Ha, I guess you first need to fix yourself and avoid blindly FOMO. Everyone who has cut some meat in this round understands. Long-termism sounds easy, but it's too difficult to actually do.

You're right, but just hearing it is exhausting. Is it true? What happened to the promised long-termism? Watching the account keep declining, I completely forget about it. Everyone understands the mindset, but just can't do it. I am the same. A 50M project last year could FOMO, and now with a 100M project, I'm still anxious. This market is just a bottomless pit. Heard a thousand times "Overcome greed and fear," but when it comes to cutting losses, I still feel heartache. Truly practicing discipline is difficult.

It sounds nice, but the key is that when an account is in the red, everyone becomes a long-termist; when it drops, they all want to dump. Sticking to this stuff is easy to talk about but really hard to do. From 50M to 100M, the rapid increase is actually more dangerous, right? Losing your mental composure is even more painful than losing money, and that's the truth. Another "cultivation" theory—I just want to ask, when will the training end?

You're right, but honestly, I'm still on the path of learning not to look at candlestick charts. --- Back when 50M could be traded up, I was also involved. Looking back now, it's really ridiculous. --- It's easy to say it's a mindset issue, but when it comes to smashing the market, everyone wants to cut losses. I really respect those who can hold on. --- Practicing... sounds quite mystical, but it seems to be just like that. Being repeatedly slapped in the face is the only way to survive. --- Stay calm when others are screaming? On the contrary, when others are calm, I start to doubt life. --- I've read this paragraph ten times long ago, but I still can't help but feel excited. Truly amazing. --- I've been shouting long-termism for two years, but among those around me who坚持下来的... hmm, none. --- The key isn't just understanding, but whether you can force yourself to hold back your fingers from buying or selling when your account really shrinks. --- The market's temper has become so much more volatile in a year. Next year, will it take a 1B jump to be considered fresh?

That's right, but I really don't want to hear any more motivational speeches now. --- 50M this year, no one is paying attention anymore. The market's rapid change is truly unbelievable. --- Mindset is something that's easy to talk about but hard to do. When cutting losses, who doesn't want to just give up? --- I've listened to "long-termism" ten times, but I still can't resist the despair of account shrinkage. --- That's why most people end up losing money in the end. Just having theory isn't enough. --- Practice? Haha, I think it's a battlefield. --- Greed and fear overcoming each other is even harder than earning the first bucket of gold. --- When the market is temperamental, who still has the energy to talk about long-termism? --- From 50M to 100M, at this speed... it feels like the next round will change the scale again. --- The real test is to see who can hold on without cutting losses at the most desperate moment. --- Beautiful sentences, but the account speaks—this is the real truth.
