Forget it. Today I specifically woke up early at 8 a.m. to monitor the market, thinking that this hot trend should be coming. I stayed for three hours but there was no movement. Feeling exhausted, I might as well go back to sleep.

When I woke up and opened the group, I was stunned—everyone was frantically posting messages—😭 making a killing! Turns out the hot trend just happened to happen at a different time than mine😭

This is the crypto market—when opportunities come, no one can hold onto them. Either you oversleep or you get stuck at a critical point on the K-line, just missing that 0.5-second window. Some people are making a fortune there, while others (like me) can only stare at others’ screenshots in a daze.

But honestly, this FOMO feeling is the same for everyone— the market always moves one step ahead of you.

Damn, I missed out again. Is this market specifically designed to annoy people? Getting up early to wait around is really pointless. Every time I wake up, it's already over. It's the same with Silicon Valley—sleeping to get rich, waking up to be trapped, the rhythm is always off. Seeing screenshots in the group chat makes me feel worse than making money myself. FOMO is really next level. Next time, I’ll just keep sleeping. Anyway, waking up is just a loss.

This is the truth about information asymmetry—insiders are always half a step ahead of retail investors.

Oh wow, I was also exploited like this to get free tokens --- It's always like this, by the time I wake up, it's too late --- Honestly, trading in the crypto world is all about mindset; no one can escape it --- Me too, I held for a long time and nothing happened, and I missed it when I went to sleep --- That's ridiculous, when the opportunity comes, you actually can't notice it --- Exactly, you miss the bus just by sleeping --- It's really incredible, always a slow market --- I gave up holding the position directly, my mindset is about to explode --- This time I was also caught off guard, watching the screenshot with heartache
