Ladies and gentlemen, recent market sentiment has been jumping wildly. One second, everyone is mourning; the next, a flood of voices saying "$BTC can't fall any further, it will definitely rebound to 93.5k, go all-in long, what are we afraid of" emerges. I have to admit, these FOMO-filled calls really ignite people's hearts, like a sudden fire in despair, making people want to go all-in with leverage immediately, betting on a "one-night turnaround" dream.

But looking at history makes it clear: whenever the market is flooded with one-sided slogans, it’s often the time when risks are secretly piling up wildly. The market’s pattern is actually simple: when everyone says "it can’t fall any further," it still falls; when everyone is shouting "buy long," big players might already be quietly selling or re-plotting traps.

So the real issue isn’t about "fear or not," but about "on what basis." Are your investment decisions driven by following others’ emotions, or do you have a mature risk control and cost management system? In the crypto world, which has the fastest global liquidity and the most intense volatility, relying solely on guts and intuition to survive is almost zero probability. True competitiveness isn’t about who shouts the loudest at a certain moment, but about who still has enough ammunition and a stable backing to withstand shocks when the market suddenly reverses and a waterfall crashes down.

This leads to a core question: how can you avoid becoming a pawn in emotional games and instead truly manage your assets?

That's right, a bunch of people shouting buy signals are just the harvesters of the big players. It's always the same. When the synchronized voices appear, it's time to be alert. The idea of full-position leverage won't last until the next round. History really keeps repeating itself; it all depends on who learns faster. Not following the trend is the only way to make money, but that's the hardest.

That's right, but I see many people just can't change this bad habit. It's obvious at a glance, but greed just won't die. Leverage is really the graveyard for the vast majority of people. With so many lessons from history, why do they still have to experience it firsthand? The key is that there's no system, just relying on luck to gamble. I think there are hardly any truly risk control experts. It all sounds right, but when the market comes, they still go all-in. That's the real difficulty—knowing what to do is easy, but doing it is hard.

Those who are fully leveraged will eventually have to pay tuition fees Having been dominated by FOMO, now I'm just afraid History repeats itself over and over, but people still can't learn Managing your mindset is the hardest part, much more difficult than technical analysis Watching others go all-in, but you still need to stay calm The loudest calls during sell-offs are really a classic trick Without a system, you're just a gambler; no matter how much confidence you have, it's useless Those who are truly making money are quietly laying out their plans, they don't go around bragging The dream of turning things around overnight, but every time it's just the beginning of paying tuition fees

Full leverage positions are just giving money to the exchanges Bro, there's some truth to what you're saying, but when it really matters, some people just can't hold on History is the best teacher, but unfortunately, no one listens When everyone is shouting the loudest to go long, that's often the time to reduce positions Why? That's the real question Dreaming of a overnight turnaround by going long, and your account becomes a sleepwalk In the end, emotional trading always leads retail investors to lose

That was a harsh truth, but the hardest part is cutting losses. The big players are all eating noodles, and we're still calling signals. Friends with full positions and leverage, how have you been doing lately? 93.5k? Wake up, bro. Having a complete system is definitely more reliable than just shouting slogans.
