Missing out isn’t scary, chasing the top is what kills you. In a bull market, the ones who lose big money aren’t the people who didn’t get in, but the ones who jumped in after a 3x pump. This pattern has repeated itself over many cycles: when the market starts moving, no one believes it. By the time everyone’s shouting 'this time is different,' the risk has already reached its peak. This is especially obvious with altcoins—when it doubles, you think it’s expensive; when it’s up 5x, you can’t resist anymore, and boom, you’re left holding the bag. The most dangerous emotion isn’t the anxiety of missing out, it’s the panic of 'if I don’t get in now, it’ll be too late.' That panic makes people abandon all discipline: ignoring valuations, skipping DCA (dollar-cost averaging), and going all-in. If you miss out, all you lose is opportunity cost. If you chase the top, you lose your principal. Opportunity cost can be recovered, but once your principal is gone, it’s gone for good. So what if you really missed out? Don’t chase. Wait for a pullback and enter in batches, or just stick to DCA and extend your time horizon. Markets never move in just one day. People who rush never make the big money. The market will always have another opportunity. What’s truly scarce is having your principal intact when the next opportunity comes.
