Your trading strategy isn't working, is it? Here's what really happens to most people in crypto markets. They chase green candles and FOMO into positions when everything looks bullish, throwing way too much into the wrong projects at peak hype. Then the inevitable pullback hits. The bear market comes. And suddenly they're sitting on massive losses, holding 100% bags through brutal downtrends with no exit plan. If you've been there—or you're there right now—it's time to rethink your approach. Greed-driven allocation kills portfolios far more than bad picks ever will.

It's the same old story. It's true, but what's the use... I just want to ask, how many people who know these principles can really stay calm and allocate wisely during the market frenzy?

Chasing gains and killing dips is an old trick. When will I ever learn? --- Going all-in with full position FOMO, then starting to buy the dip? That kind of thinking is really crazy. --- That's right, greed is more deadly than choosing the wrong coin, but some people still do it every day. --- No stop-loss plan is like suicide. Why are so many still falling for it? --- Watching once isn't enough; it takes blood losses of three or five times to truly understand this principle. --- In a bear market, it's not about picking the right coins; it's about mindset and discipline in allocation. --- Seriously ask yourself, how many people have actually implemented a risk management plan beforehand? --- Greed is more deadly than any technical indicator. The hard part is self-discipline. --- Spot on, anyone with a bit of risk awareness wouldn't hold 100% of their position. --- It's the same old story, the problem is that knowing and doing are two different things.

ngl this hits different when you've watched entire liquidity pools evaporate across three separate bridge exploits... position sizing ain't sexy but it keeps you from becoming a cautionary tale, y'know?

The pain points hit the mark; FOMO is really the poison of the crypto market. Watching the price hit the daily limit makes you want to jump in, but many end up trapped.
