Investing is really counterintuitive. You think making money is all about seeing someone hyping something up, blindly jumping in, chasing the trend, and shouting "take me with you" in the comments, waiting to get rich overnight. But what usually happens is you FOMO your way in, then the early paper hands cash out for profits. Your portfolio starts showing losses, and you immediately panic. Even the logical and reasonable-sounding advice from big influencers starts to feel off. You end up panic selling at a loss, then go off cursing the "damn reaper" online. Then the coin price starts climbing again, and you’re left slapping your thigh in regret, cursing the "manipulative whales" for being too sneaky and blaming yourself for not holding on. The real issue is: You never truly understood the logic behind it. You didn’t do your own research, so you had no confidence to hold. Your ability to make or lose money wasn’t in your own hands—it was entirely dependent on others. Whether you profited or lost, it was all because of someone else, and you didn’t improve your own skills at all. Take a look at recent plays like Aster, XPL, and Kaito. Reflect on your own moves and think about whether this makes sense.
