Many crypto traders seem trapped in a 2021 mindset. They're still treating their positions like house money—gambling with what they can "afford to lose," yet their decisions suggest they haven't really processed what happened since then. The market has evolved, but their psychology hasn't caught up. Still chasing the euphoria of that cycle, still making moves based on FOMO rather than fundamentals. It's like they're playing the same game with outdated rules.

Brothers, you're still living in the 2021 dream. It's time to wake up.

ngl the 2021 bagholders never learned... pattern analysis suggests they're still running the same playbook. flagged massive emotional decisions across wallets, classic high-risk indicators. remind me how that turned out last time?

Really, still clinging to the 21-year-old logic, it's time to wake up.

Haha, I'm just one of these people. Still stuck in 2021, always saying this time will be different, but end up getting slapped in the face again...

Honestly, if you're still using the same approach from 2021, you really deserve to lose. Haven't learned your lesson after losing money?

You're right, there are still too many people dreaming of 2021. They've lost so much but are still gambling with a gambler's mentality, it's hilarious.
