Another year kicks off, and the crypto market never misses a beat—FOMO is still alive and well.

You'd think after all these years, investors would learn. But nope. Every rally brings the same old story: panic buying, chasing green candles, and that gnawing fear of missing out. Bitcoin pumps a few percent, altcoins follow, and suddenly everyone's checking their portfolio every five minutes.

The psychology doesn't change. Markets evolve, coins come and go, but that rush? That anxiety of being left behind? It's hardwired into the game. New year, same patterns—except maybe the players are a bit more seasoned this time around.
