Regret is useless. What has happened has happened. Real change starts now. You need to completely change your mindset—look at the market from a different angle, think about the trends in a different way. The reason for being played people for suckers is actually very simple: you allowed it to happen. Chasing trends, listening to stories, believing in fantastical promises—these days should end. The market is full of noise, and most people are blindly following the herd mentality, which prevents you from seeing the truth. If you want to survive longer in the crypto market, you need to learn to filter information, think independently, and distinguish between fear of missing out (FOMO) emotions and real opportunities. This is the necessary path for growth and the first lesson in losing less money.

Honestly, regretting this matter is really useless; the key is how to improve. I used to follow trends blindly as well, but now I’ve gradually learned to read candlestick charts, listen less to stories, and focus more on analyzing code. That FOMO mentality has long been kicked.

That's right, but most people just can't change, including myself... Every time I say this time I won't chase the trend, but next time I jump right in again.

It's easy to say, but most people can't change. Really, I've seen too many people say "we need to think independently," and the next second rush into a group asking, "How's this coin?" Adjusting one's mindset is easy, but executing it is hard.

To be honest, I was played for a sucker back then because I heard too many stories, and now I finally understand.

That said, it's really hard to put into practice.

That phrase I allow myself to say hits hard.

This thing called FOMO is harder to quit than smoking.

Wait, is this talking about me?

Now there are more "opportunities" in the market than suckers, how to distinguish them?

Learning to filter information is easy to say, but who isn't still drowned by the noise?

This time it really got through to me.

You're right, you have to learn to think for yourself and not just listen to stories. Can a bunch of people make money by following the trend and buying a SHIB? Laughable.

Rather than regret, it's better to change now. Filtering information is really key. When I look at the market now, I always ask myself if I'm really experiencing FOMO.

---

If you get played for suckers, then so be it. The key is to not let yourself be soft-hearted next time. Independent thinking is something you have to fight for.

---

There's too much noise, all this "must rise" and "k-times coin" nonsense. Wake up, everyone.

That's the market; most people are just giving away money. The difference is when you stop giving it away.

Sounds good, but how many can actually do it? I've seen too many people rush back in the next day after hearing these principles, haha.

It's easy to say, but you only understand after stepping into the pit yourself, haha.

That's right, but the key is still to have discipline; otherwise, even the smartest person will have to pay tuition.
