Just closed out my last BTC futures contract, and the taste of loss is still stuck in my throat. I spent the whole night staring at the screen with my eyes wide open, watching those red numbers flash continuously. Then I saw this piece of news——
"Wells Fargo invested $383 million, and Bank of America is also making major moves."
That moment was so bittersweet. I felt like a sailor abandoning ship in a storm, utterly devastated, while those massive vessels in the distance were sailing against the wind, heading toward the direction I just fled from. My panic-driven liquidation became nothing but a supporting act for their heavy accumulation.
Ironic beyond belief.
We get scared out of our minds by a few hours of price decline, while they're looking at ten-year charts. We use leverage to amplify greed and fear tenfold, while they calmly deploy capital using balance sheets. The difference isn't just about information volume—it's about the dimensionality of cognition and the thickness of mindset—that's the stuff that can kill you.
Institutions vote with real money and real assets. They're not even looking at whether tomorrow will be green or red. They're looking at an era shift, the major direction over the next few years. Meanwhile, we're still playing the gambling game of "will the next second be up or down?"
I'll treat this lost money as tuition. But the biggest lesson this tuition bought me is: when the next wave of market sentiment comes crashing in, why not pause and ask yourself——who's right now screaming and cutting losses, and who's quietly building positions in the shadows?
