There's a classic saying — be greedy when others are fearful. But I want to add one point: stay patient when others are euphoric, as that is the greater test.

The market is always there, never short of opportunities. What is truly scarce? It’s those who can remain calm and make rational judgments amidst the chaos. FOMO can lead people to make foolish decisions, and greed can easily cause mistakes. Conversely, those who understand patience and can control the pace will ultimately be the ones who succeed.

As the crypto market has evolved to this point, mechanisms are becoming more transparent, and competition more fierce. Instead of chasing the hot trends, it’s better to wait for the right moment. This is my goal for 2026 and beyond.

You're right. I'm more afraid of losing patience than being greedy. As soon as I see others making money, I start to get itchy hands.

That's true, but I don't have such strong willpower. I only regret after seeing others make money.

That's true, but honestly, most people just can't do it. When they see others making money, their eyes just turn red.

That's right, but my biggest problem now is that I just can't do it at all. I get itchy every time I see a rise.

Really, this is a test of mental resilience. Seeing others rush in makes me want to rush too, but thinking of the last FOMO lesson... I still hold back.

Exactly right, but execution is too difficult. Truly, when the bull market arrives, all kinds of voices bombard you, insisting you get on board. Those who don't FOMO are real tough guys.

That's right, but knowing is easy; doing is hard. The real test isn't during a decline, but whether you can hold on when everyone else is hyping things up.

You're right, but my biggest problem right now is I simply can't wait. When I see others hyping it up, I get FOMO. Waiting for the right moment sounds easy, but few people can actually hold out that long. After this round of market movements, I've realized I'm just that FOMO-crazed player. It's embarrassing. Staying calm and making rational judgments—that's easy to say but so hard to actually do. It really comes down to psychological strength. Those who can control the pace definitely earn more steadily. I'll try to be disciplined like this in 2026 too, but for now I'm just going to cut losses and stabilize the situation first.
