In 1950, psychologist Kurt Richter conducted an experiment. He placed mice in water, and the results were quite cruel—they gave up and drowned within 15 minutes. But if they were rescued and then put back, a miracle happened: the same mice could last over 40 hours. Their bodies hadn't changed; only one thing had—hope.

This gives us inspiration. When you're feeling lucky and seize an opportunity, don't forget to pass on that feeling of being "saved" to those around you. A word of encouragement or a sincere act of help can sometimes be enough to change someone’s entire situation. In this circle, we need each other's strength.

This mindset really can change everything. When I was melted before, I also got back on my feet thanks to a few words from friends. Just helping someone can add 40 hours of endurance? It sounds exaggerated, but I believe it. Mental resilience is so important. Agreed, this circle is all about mutual support. Having someone give you a hand really makes a difference. The veterans who went overboard before are now quietly helping newcomers. That's the idea, right? By the way, I hope this thing is more valuable than any technical indicator.

Honestly, this story really hit me, but I'm thinking... most of us are still in the first pool. Hope is indeed a magical word, but the premise is that someone has to give you a hand—that's the hard part. In the crypto world over the past few years, I've seen too many people who could have held on, but because no one reached out to help, they sank. Now, to the friends holding opportunities, please don't pretend you don't see the people around you. It's just a matter of one sentence.

This mental preparation thing, it's easier to talk about than to do. I hope this thing is really worth more than anything else. How many people have given up during the crypto bear market? A helping hand can really save lives, not just words. Companionship in the crypto world is stronger than any technical analysis, really. This story really resonated. How can more people understand it? Is the sense of redemption that strong? It feels almost like faith.
