What's the real reason people seek financial advice? Most would say they want better returns, but that's not the full story. The honest answer? Peace of mind tops the list. Knowing someone's got your back when markets swing wild makes a huge difference.
Here's what often gets overlooked though—the behavioral side of investing. It doesn't rank last, but it's criminally underrated on most people's priority lists. How you think, your emotional triggers, the psychological traps you fall into—these shape your portfolio's fate way more than you'd expect. When Bitcoin drops 20% overnight or your altcoins pump, your mental framework determines whether you hodl or panic sell. That's not theory; that's the game.

ngl the behavioral trap is just market entropy dressed up fancy... seen too many traders get liquidated chasing peace of mind instead of actually studying their own deviation patterns

behavioral psychology in crypto hits different when you actually understand network effects. most retail just chase returns while missing the entire adoption curve happening beneath the surface.

NGL, mental resilience is more important than technical analysis; that's the real truth. I've seen too many people break down just because of a 20% drop.

Honestly, mental preparation is more important than anything else. Those pursuing high returns are often the first to get liquidated.

Honestly, what I fear the most is seeing BTC plunge in the middle of the night and then impulsively selling everything... This article really hit home for me.
