Always wanting to buy at the dip, but ending up chasing at the high. I didn't dare to buy at 8.4M, and I was hijacked by FOMO. It felt like it was about to break through the sky, but in the end, I couldn't resist and chased in. At that moment, I really thought if I didn't get on the train, it would go straight to 100M. But as soon as I got in, I lost momentum and got trapped directly.

Honestly, the project team is really clever. After the article came out yesterday, the response on Base was lukewarm, and it wasn't until the evening that they moved to BSC for issuance. The new move in the morning coincidentally caught a big V retweeting. Perfect timing, location, and people’s support combined, and the public opinion heat suddenly surged. And I just happened to buy in at this point.

I'm writing this because I really got trapped. The lesson this time is: FOMO is indeed the biggest killer in trading, especially when market sentiment has already heated up. Chasing the high often comes with a heavier price than expected.

Another story of being cut like a leek, a classic FOMO script --- The project team’s coordination is indeed top-notch, which means us retail investors have become stepping stones --- Didn't dare to buy at 8.4M, but still couldn’t resist when it hit a high point... Honestly, this is gambling --- Buying at the low point? Bro, that’s called idealism. The reality is always chasing highs and getting trapped --- That move on BSC was really brilliant, the timing of the repost was nailed, we simply couldn’t react in time --- FOMO can blow up your account even more than leverage. This time, it’s a lesson learned the hard way --- From this rhythm, you can tell it’s a carefully planned scheme. Retail investors are doomed to be the bag holders --- If I had known earlier, I would have closed my eyes and not looked at the market. The more I watch, the more FOMO and chasing highs, a vicious cycle --- The project team is making a killing, and we just lie down and get trapped. This is the current state of Web3

Tsk, this is the legendary perfect sucker's scene They played from Base to BSC and coordinated with big V, their tactics are indeed brilliant, but you just happened to step on all the landmines FOMO is truly a poison, one after another claiming it's "so good"

The smart move this time, a textbook example of being cut off. --- 8.4M didn't make it, had to wait until a fever to rush in, this is the fate of the crypto world. --- The project team's public opinion manipulation this time is truly an art form; you are the one being precisely harvested. --- FOMO feels great for a moment, getting trapped and cremated, always learning this lesson over and over. --- Honestly, I totally understand the feeling of catching the bottom and chasing the top; looking at the chart feels like being cursed. --- Base reacts coldly, BSC shares rapidly, big V accounts perfectly timed; they are just more professional than us. --- Lick the screen at the low point, chase at the high point—this is a must-know lesson in the crypto circle. --- If you don't get on the train now and head straight for 100M? Brother, how much FOMO do you need to say that? --- The project team really played it smart; retail investors like us are always late to the party. --- The moment you get trapped should be the clearest, but it's just too late.

This trick is obviously carefully designed. Base Cold Field BSC just became popular, and a single repost by a big V can make it take off, perfectly hitting the spot for the bagholders.
