Many people’s biggest enemy after being trapped is not the market itself, but the collapse of their mindset. Once the nerves are lost, it’s easy to make wrong decisions. Conversely, if the assets you hold have solid fundamentals, it’s better to look further than just watching the K-line every day. The moment market sentiment shifts often marks the beginning of a reversal.

To put it simply, price fluctuations are in the market’s DNA. Wanting to get out of a trap is important, but time and patience are even more crucial—especially during phases where bulls and bears are intertwined. Those who can grit their teeth and persevere often reap the greatest rewards. Don’t be scared by every dip; that only makes you more passive.

Look at assets like Ethereum, which are truly supported by practical applications. How many adjustments and doubts have they gone through in the past few years? Each time, they manage to come out stronger. The difference is that some people wait for the opportunity, while others miss it. Willpower may sound simple, but truly practicing it is a test of one’s conviction.

That's right, mindset really can make or break a person. I've seen too many people lose their composure as soon as they get trapped, and then they end up losing more. Enduring through it makes you a winner, it's really that simple. Just hold onto assets with solid fundamentals, don't watch the market every day—that's the most efficient form of self-torture. The moment your emotions turn around is truly the end, but often it's just the beginning. Ethereum has almost died multiple times before, but isn't it doing well now? The key is whether you can withstand those tough days. Willpower is indeed precious, but things that are expensive are often the most valuable.

That's so true. Mindset really can determine life or death. The friends around me who got trapped, in the end, either died in the market or in their own hands. Staring at the screen all day is like seeking death; the more you watch, the more anxious you become. It's better to go outside and get some fresh air, let the bullets fly for a while. I've endured all those ETH cycles; what I want is this kind of resolve. Those who can't wait are still regretting now. The profit opportunities killed by panic are truly countless. Holding on with grit and cutting losses in time, it's easy to say, but the real test is right at this moment.

That's right, the hardest part is the mindset. I was scared out of my wits two years ago, and I still feel quite regretful when I think about it now. When your mindset collapses, everything is over. Instead of watching the K-line and raising your blood pressure every day, it's really better to keep yourself busy with other things. There are too many people who can't wait for that moment, always with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Discipline... it sounds simple, but actually doing it can be deadly. The ones eliminated in this round of the market are those who can't stay calm. Hold assets with solid fundamentals, and leave the rest to time. Thinking back, ETH was heavily criticized back then, but isn't it back now? It's really just a gamble on whether you can endure the wait for that reversal moment. Most people still lose because they are too impatient.

It's easy to say, but hard to do. Mindset is really more difficult than technical analysis. Holding onto ETH when it's dropped this much is truly impressive. But to be honest, the worst part about being trapped is repeatedly checking your account balance—that's when your mindset really explodes.

You're right, but who can think of that when they're truly trapped? I'm the one who starts smashing my phone every time it drops.
