Have you ever wondered why, after entering the crypto world, many people seem to be stuck in a cycle of cutting leeks? Some say it's because the market is too manipulative, while others say it's due to insufficient understanding. In fact, both are correct — but the real core issue is that most people have never properly examined their own investment logic.

Having enthusiasm alone is not enough. Assets like memecoins are highly volatile, requiring you to have a clear understanding of risks and your own psychological resilience. Many people jump in due to FOMO and are forced out by panic; under this rhythm, making money is simply impossible.

If you are also caught in this vicious cycle, why not pause and think: do you really understand what you are doing?

To be honest, I'm the kind of fool who gets caught up in FOMO and loses money. I still feel embarrassed when I think about it now. Chasing highs and selling lows, I can do these actions in my sleep. Memecoin is just gambling; don't fool yourself into thinking you're investing. I've now made it clear to myself: if there's no logic, don't play. Losing money is inevitable. Lack of understanding is really a hard flaw. Give yourself a slap.

Basically, it's a lack of trading discipline, relying solely on gambling instincts and luck. Where are the people who were FOMOing now? They should have reflected long ago. Investment logic? Most people don't have any; they just follow others making money. Psychological resilience is indeed a bottleneck; a single drop in price can break people's confidence. If you don't understand memecoin, just don't touch it, really.

Paper hands mean FOMO into memecoin is really messing around Getting cut twice made me understand what risk management is, now I'm very cautious Investment logic? Back then, I just went all-in because I saw others making money Now I finally realize that mindset is more valuable than skills, in plain English, it's just greed It seems that the most I learned from the crypto world is how to recognize myself

Basically, it's just a lack of trading discipline. FOMO comes in, panic sells out, and it's no wonder you're harvested. Why doesn't anyone admit they're greedy? They just want to shift the blame to the market. Playing with memecoins is all about mindset. When your mentality collapses, everything is useless. What I find most heartbreaking is that most people haven't even thought about why they want to play with coins—they just get jealous when others make money. Pause and reflect? Ha, there are many who understand this principle, but very few can truly do it. If your understanding isn't enough, don't blame the environment. If you can't figure things out yourself, don't expect to make money from the market. Dream on. In the end, it's still a matter of self-discipline. Without clear stop-loss and take-profit strategies, you're just gambling. This article is right, but I guarantee that 85% of people will still operate as usual after reading it. A friend of mine keeps telling me he wants to cultivate a calm mindset, but when there's a limit-up, he can't hold back and acts impulsively.

Honestly, I've seen too many brothers come in with FOMO and panic out. Getting killed by your own emotions is even more deadly than a bear market. Having a systematic investment logic is truly rare. Memecoin gamblers' mentality will eventually lead to debt repayment. Ask yourself honestly, have you really thought it through, or are you just hoping to get rich overnight?

To be honest, I was really touched by this sentence. I really didn't think about my own logic. I'm very familiar with the FOMO mindset—jumping in and then rushing out, losing money very quickly. Cognition is something that has to be hard-earned. Once your mindset collapses, making money is impossible. Stopping to reflect is the right thing to do; otherwise, you're really just cutting yourself.
