A friend asked me why I haven't been active lately. Haha, it's not that I lack opportunities, but that I'm waiting for the right one.

To be honest, trading is all about finding the right "balance." Mainstream cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum fluctuate daily, but not every move is worth participating in. Often, the biggest test is patience — knowing when to act and when to watch quietly.

Currently, the market is in a certain position, and my personal judgment is that we haven't reached that critical point yet. Instead of following the herd to chase highs or getting shaken out by volatility, it's better to observe for now. Once the situation becomes clearer and signals are strong enough, I will act immediately.

This is the trading logic I always believe in — better to miss out than to misjudge. There are only a few real opportunities, and focusing on the most certain ones will yield much better long-term returns. No need to rush, let's wait together for this wave.

I think the same way. Chasing the high now is just a pure gift. Can't wait any longer, I'm already FOMO to the point of insomnia. Well said, but whether you can hold on when the opportunity really comes is another matter. That's why most people lose money; the mentality is really too difficult. You're right, but on the other hand, how long can you wait for this method, maybe until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse. Patience is easy to talk about but hard to do; I can only stick to it for three days at most. Alright, I believe you this time, you said the same last time. There's some truth to it, but it feels like the missed opportunities are really more.

I'm completely convinced by this mindset, really steady. Wait, I also want to learn how to grasp this "degree." Alright, let's keep watching the show. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. This is the difference between a gambler and a trader. Last year, I got wiped out for chasing highs. I'm convinced. Honestly, I'd rather miss out than misjudge. I need to engrain this in my mind. What are we waiting for? Give me a timeline. It's really rare for someone to stick with it; most can't wait. When this wave comes, remember to @me. With reason and evidence, I believe in your move.

This logic makes sense; I do it the same way. But it's easy to say, and there are only a few who can really stick it out.

Wait, wait, wait, this logic sounds like you're making excuses for yourself. But on the other hand, it's not a bad idea to prefer missing out; this statement still makes some sense. Real profit opportunities are indeed rare; most of the time, they're traps.

Damn, this mindset is really top-notch, much clearer than those who chase and sell every day. Wait, are you hinting at when to move? Give me some clues. To put it nicely, it’s actually just not seeing the trend clearly haha. This round really makes people uncomfortable. I’m also observing, but your patience is truly unmatched. Better to miss out than to misjudge. I need to screenshot this and send it to my friends. This is what you call a master; not being greedy allows you to live longer. The problem is, wait and wait, what if you chase high again at the end and lose everything? I agree, but should we also stop now with the altcoins?

I agree with this mindset, but it depends on how long you can endure. Better to miss out than to misjudge; that's really the principle. Wait a moment, it seems like everyone is waiting, so who will be the one to pay the bill? If this wave really becomes clear, those who buy the dip will probably be lining up. Sounds nice, but actually they just haven't made up their minds yet.
