You'll spot them everywhere in the crypto trading scene—people desperately clawing for validation, constantly wrestling with the need to prove themselves right. They chase attention. They hunt for capital. They crave engagement. Every interaction becomes a referendum on their ego.

Here's the thing though: when you're obsessed with being right, when you wrap your entire identity around your trades and your calls, you've already lost. The moment your self-worth gets tangled up with your portfolio, you stop thinking clearly. You start defending positions instead of questioning them. You double down on bad calls because admitting you were wrong feels like admitting you're worthless.
