My intuition at the time was pretty accurate. In the afternoon, I invested over 200 USDT to add to my position, catching the lowest point at that time. The day before yesterday, I was so scared by the recent drop that I sold too early, my mindset was a bit崩溃. Later, I placed orders at 0.006 and 0.005, and one of the orders was filled at 0.0061. I was planning to wait for a lower price, set the orders, and then went to sleep. When I woke up, the price had already surged above 0.016, so I immediately put all my funds into buying more.
This operation gave me a few insights. First is about mindset—having the courage and broad perspective to break the boat and commit fully, while also honestly assessing how much risk I can bear. To put it plainly, retail investors like us are different from whales; a single move by them might be equivalent to our entire year's funds. So, we need both the necessary boldness and clear self-awareness. Market fluctuations test not only our ability to pick coins but also our psychological resilience.

Bro, you really made a profit this time, but I'm more curious about where you got the courage to bet all your funds. That's not guts, it's a gambler's mentality.

Haha, it skyrocketed right after waking up. This wave really made me happy, and maintaining the mindset is indeed the hardest part.

Waking up and doubling your gains may sound like a story, but looking at your order records, there is indeed a logic... The problem is, this kind of "waking up to" profit often also means you've endured multiple times the drawdown risk, which is hard to backtest with data.

Wow, this wave really is fate. Missed the low point after a sleep and still managed to chase the high—what a big heart that takes.

How amazing does it feel to wake up and go all-in directly?
