There is a phenomenon worth pondering - some people can lose their account to the bottom without changing their expression. What psychology is behind this? Perhaps it is this: true investors never avoid risk; instead, they must learn to dance with it. Coins like PEPE, which are highly volatile, act like a mirror, reflecting each person's understanding of risk. Money may be lost, but that daring All In mentality? That is what is scarce. The question is, is this courage a form of great wisdom disguised as foolishness, or great foolishness disguised as wisdom?

Honestly, at that moment, it was really hard to tell if I was a gambler or a warrior. But I think, people who dare to lose all the way often live more freely than those who are overly cautious. However, to be honest, with coins like PEPE, whether you lose or not isn't that important; what's important is whether you've learned something from it. Otherwise, it's just pure gambling. Oh my, isn't this human nature? The more virtual something is, the easier it is to go all in. In reality, no one dares to play like that. Losing until the bottom without changing expression? That might really mean they've let go, or it might mean they simply didn't take it seriously. I can't tell the difference between these two states. Honestly, I don't quite believe this mindset. Unless the account is just pocket money, who can really stay calm and unshaken?

Come on, it's nicely called "dancing together," but in reality, it's just gambling. My account has long been locked in for retirement, and now watching PEPE's ups and downs is like watching the stock market—my mindset has long become numb.

Wow, this is the advanced version of self-deception. Pretending to be calm while suffering losses, is this called psychological resilience? I see this as psychological distortion.

Account input hitting the bottom without changing color? Ha, that's not having a good mindset, that's because there's really nothing left to lose. Those who go all in on PEPE are gamblers, don't put the label of "investor" on yourself. What is truly scarce is surviving to see the next bull run, not courage. This is the great folly disguised as wisdom, there's nothing wrong with that.

Account gets drained and still remains unfazed? Wake up, that’s probably numbness haha

Haha, don't be so sophisticated. To put it simply, it's just the gambler's mentality packaged as an investment theory.

Can you still laugh when you've hit rock bottom? That guy might really have let it go, or he just hasn't realized it yet.

Account has dropped to the bottom and still expressionless? That's not a strong mentality, that's called being numb.

ngl, if you're losing your entire stack on pepe and calling it "courage"... that's just cope with extra steps. technically speaking, sustainable returns don't come from all-in yolo plays — they come from risk-adjusted metrics and actually understanding correlation coefficients. degens will degen tho, can't stop that.
