Watching others double their investments in a big market rally, I feel nothing but regret. Thinking I can’t miss out again, I start frantically sweeping through chains to find the next opportunity. As a result, I step into rug pull projects one after another, and my account keeps shrinking. Frustrated, I gamble recklessly on various small tokens, hoping to quickly recover my losses. The reality is harsh—being completely wiped out, crying out in misery. Then comes the long wait, watching my holdings plummet nonstop, unable to do anything, only able to review and summarize these painful lessons. Finally, I give up and start relaxing to clear my mind. Turning around, I realize I’ve missed the next big gold mine again. This cycle seems to be playing out forever.

ah yes, the classic fomo-panic-regret loop. statistically speaking, we're literally just replaying the dot-com bubble playbook but with more leverage and worse risk management lmao

Laughing to death, isn't this just my daily workflow? I just turned the cross-talk into a losing money performance.

This cycle is really incredible, feeling like copying and pasting someone else's story. Chasing highs and cutting losses is a dead end. When will I ever realize this? After rug pulls happen too many times, you become numb. Anyway, it's all the same routine. Missed opportunities are always shining, while what you hold is constantly depreciating. Trying to quickly recover losses is the fastest way to lose everything. Instead of sweeping the chain, it's better to go to sleep. When you wake up, maybe it will have risen. That's why only one percent of people survive and leave. HODLing small altcoins is really playing with fire. I advise you to stay calm.

Haha, it's the same old story again. Look, I went through the same thing. I knew I was doomed the moment I went all-in on small coins; there's no way to recover. Instead of stressing over what I missed, I should think about how to survive and get out. Really, the more I try to turn things around, the easier I get cut. I've truly realized this.

This is the fate of crypto, always cycling between regret and missed opportunities. People, greed is the original sin, no wonder anyone. I've stepped into countless pits too, now just waiting for the next cut. Watching others take off makes you panic and lose your way, and the result is even worse. Going all-in is easy to talk about but hard to do. Accept your fate, brother, fishing around is the right way.

This is the dead cycle of crypto, I'm totally fed up. --- FOMO really is a poison, jumping into the pit one after another. --- I totally get the part about going all-in on small coins, but it all turned to air. --- Wait, isn't this just my daily routine... --- I've accepted my fate and taken a break, and you were right, I missed out again. --- That line about being cut to pieces, I laughed because it's so true. --- Honestly, it's still greed causing all the trouble. --- Replaying the same mistakes is useless; next time, I'll just repeat the same cycle. --- Always acting, never learning, just like that.
