Is it really naive to look for a coin in the 10-20k range to buy and hold long-term, waiting for the moment of explosion?

The biggest frustration isn't choosing the right coin, but maintaining the right mindset. Every time there's an initial correction, I want to sell, or I get caught in a vicious cycle of oscillating around the 30k level, constantly taking losses. How can I truly stick to my holdings and not be driven by short-term fluctuations? This might be the key dividing line between retail investors and winners.

Basically, mindset really determines everything; choosing coins is actually a minor matter. I'm the kind of person who panics at the first sign of a dip, always thinking "This time it's really over," and as a result, I've missed several rebounds. Now I regret it to death.

Honestly, the mental test is really a life-and-death challenge, much harder than choosing coins. I myself also panic when prices drop, but actually, those who truly make money are the ones who endure it. The key is to have spare money; otherwise, your psychological defenses will collapse during a downturn.

Honestly, the mindset is really the bottleneck. I have also gone through countless moments of itching to cut my losses.

Honestly, the mindset of holding positions is just theoretical; when the account actually shrinks by 30%, everyone wants to cut.

To put it simply, mindset is way more difficult than choosing coins, I'm serious.
