The moment of cutting losses on a new project was truly despairing. Watching an investment of 40,000 shrink to 400K in the new project, my psychological defenses nearly collapsed, while the old project was still struggling in the negative return zone — that feeling of being beaten by the market is hard to describe. I almost pressed the exit button at the lowest point, but luckily I held on stubbornly. The subsequent rebound made me realize that in this market cycle, the decline curves of new projects and old projects are completely out of sync. Sometimes making money isn't about predicting the right direction, but about choosing to wait in despair. The $WAGBI case is a profound market textbook — the volatility of new projects is so outrageous, and patience is often more valuable than judgment.

Oh my, this round was really a life-and-death ordeal. Luckily, I didn't run away at the first sign of trouble.

ngl, panic selling at the bottom is the most predictable vulnerability in retail psychology. saw this exact collapse pattern with $WAGBI—classic rookie move watching your stack get decimated 90% then rage-quitting. the real post-mortem here? dude actually held through it. that's the exploit most people can't execute, tbh.

This wave is really a lesson in mental discipline. Holding on without running away is already half the victory. --- 40,000 directly shrunk to just over 400. I need to stop and take a breather... --- Honestly, the volatility of new projects is indeed outrageous, feeling more exciting than gambling. --- Enduring despair is how you make money. That’s a truly profound statement. --- So it’s all about who has stronger psychological resilience; technical analysis becomes useless. --- The disconnect between new and old projects is so severe that I now understand why so many people cut their losses. --- Waiting for this thing is easy to talk about but hard to do... --- Looking at your experience, it seems that new projects are high-risk, high-reward plays, not something ordinary people can handle.

Oh my god, this is the true face of the new project... If you endure it, you'll win. --- Holding steady without moving is really the hardest part; if your mindset collapses, everything is ruined. --- Waiting for this thing to happen sounds simple, but enduring those few days is truly hell. --- New projects are so torturous, but when they rebound, it's the fiercest. --- It seems that sometimes not losing is the same as winning, that's how I comfort myself haha. --- The word patience is so annoying to hear, but there's really no other way. --- Almost couldn't hold it together, right? I understand that feeling, truly the ultimate.

ngl the real exploit here is just... holding when everything says dump. technically speaking, new projects are vulnerable to panic selling in ways old bags aren't—interesting edge case of human psychology meeting market mechanics. $WAGBI taught you what most never learn: patience is literally the unfixed vulnerability in everyone's trading code.
