The most intense moments of market volatility often test your mental resilience. The more the market drains your confidence and the more your confidence is frustrated, the more you need to maintain rational judgment.

The real opportunity is right here—those high-quality projects that you once believed in have now become opportunities for low-cost positioning. Price drops ≠ value disappearance. In fact, it's when you can buy more chips with the same amount of funds.

Greed can lead to mistakes, and fear can cause you to miss out. Keep a steady mindset to stay in sync with the rhythm.

It sounds good, but the key is whether you can hold on without cutting your losses. Every time I say this, the price still keeps falling, and my mindset collapses. Buying at low levels sounds appealing, but who can guarantee it won't go even lower? Those with a stable mindset are the ones who have made money; when you're losing, who can stay calm? This is truly a test for the leek farmers, really. A decline is an opportunity; I've said this so many times I'm tired of hearing it. I just want to know, why are those quality projects still falling now?

It sounds good, but when it really drops 50%, who can stay calm... Buying in at the low sounds appealing, but I just ask, is it truly a low point or just more crashing? Having a good mindset, what's the use if you don't have the capital? That's why I only dare to dollar-cost average, to avoid shooting myself in the foot. Staying calm and not stressing out is as easy as telling people not to worry, but the hard part is really watching your money evaporate. The value is there, but I have to live until that day. Every time I say this, it's always those who hold on that make money, but no one talks about the cost of persistence.

That's exactly right, you just need to control your hands and not make reckless moves. A bear market is the time to pick up bargains. --- Mindset is really important. When you're nervous, it's easy to buy the dip halfway up the mountain. --- Low-position entry window? Bro, I agree with this wave. It all depends on who can hold out until that moment. --- Price drops = discounts. Some people just can't understand this logic. --- The key is to have ammunition. If you don't have money now, being rational is pointless. --- Fear and greed are truly the two biggest killers in the market. I've suffered losses from both. --- It sounds simple, but not many people actually do it. --- If this wave of decline didn't scare people away, then it's already half successful.

You're right, mindset is really the biggest enemy. During the last crash, I was controlled by fear and ended up missing the chance to get in early. Low-position positioning is easier to talk about than to do. When it hits the limit down, who still has the courage to buy the dip? I was definitely trembling. But looking back now, those who held on indeed made gains. I just regret not buying more. People with a steady mindset are the ones making money—that's the truth. By the way, is there anything worth getting into now? It seems like many projects are completely dead.

Listening to this, I can't help but think of the nightmare of last time's bottom-fishing. Can it really be stabilized? Here we go again with the old tune of bottom-positioning. My mentality has long been shattered. Sounds good, but who can really stay rational in fear? I definitely can't. It's reasonable, but I can't do it. I'm just easily cut. Mindset is valuable, but unfortunately I don't have it. Is this the last time to bottom-fish? I don't believe it anymore, brother. Whether it's a low or high position, I have no bullets left anyway. Stay calm? My mentality has never existed to begin with.
