Previously, I made a mistake, and this time I surprisingly repeated the same error.

There's an interesting phenomenon in the community: those with positions will tell you to buy the dip, while those without positions will say this project will go to zero. Who's advice is more reliable? It depends on your mindset.

I later realized a key point — when a new low is reached, the only option is to buy, never sell. I sold at the low point and was later forced to buy back at a high, which actually increased my cost. This was a very deep lesson.

The most effective method is actually very simple: after buying, just leave it alone, regardless of how the market fluctuates. Stick to the end.

If you've had experiences of reverse operations before, when the next new low appears, continue to add positions with new funds. Only then can you truly optimize your cost.

Selling at the lows and buying back at the highs, I know this move too well. A painful lesson.

Selling at the low point was really brilliant. I've done that too, and I'm still paying the price for that decision.

Oh my goodness, I have to give you a thumbs up for this move. Buying low and selling high, it's a textbook-level contrarian strategy. We're talented in the crypto world. Cutting losses at the low points takes so much courage, haha. No wonder costs keep rising. This is what you call battling yourself. Doing nothing is the ultimate skill, but the market tempts you daily to trade frequently. Only true winners can stick to it. New funds continue to buy the dip. It's easy to say, but most people don't even have the courage for a second try. I’m impressed. Basically, it's about resisting the inner demons and not being scared by market fluctuations. That's the hardest discipline.

Selling at the bottom is really a death sentence. I've done it too, and I regret it to this day.

Selling at the bottom is really a death sentence. I've made that mistake before, but now I hold on tightly. Don't watch the market anymore. This wave has hit a new low again. The ones who cut earlier were just being careless. I've learned my lesson this time and will continue to add to my position to average down. When you have a position, you're optimistic; when you don't, you're pessimistic. Basically, your mood is dictated by your position. Don't believe that nonsense. The key is to hold steady. It's easy to get nervous when looking at the candlestick chart, so it's better not to look at all. Adding at the bottom is easy to say, but it requires spare cash and the right mindset. Neither of us has enough of either. You have to pay tuition to learn the lessons. Now I finally understand: next time there's a new low, I will resolutely add to my position.

Buying the dip at low points and catching the rebound at high points—I've been through this combination too, it's really incredible.
