This past year has been quite an intense investment experience. Watching the mainstream coins surge fiercely while my heavily invested altcoins kept going down, the feeling of being trapped was truly uncomfortable. At the beginning of the year, I was still dreaming of earning quick money with a hundredfold coin, only to realize by year's end how naive that idea was. The most painful part was only later realizing that it wasn't a lack of selection ability, but being led by emotions—buying the dip at high prices, panic selling—classic reverse operations. A careful review revealed that, often, decisions were not driven by rational analysis but by current emotional fluctuations. This emotional reversal trading pattern was doomed to make the account look worse and worse. The real lesson isn't about the rise and fall of coin prices, but about recognizing your own psychological blind spots in trading.

Oh no, isn't this just a reflection of last year... The way I chased the highs at the top was really ruthless. I was so envious when BTC took off, but in the end, I dumped all into small coins. Now I look back and can't help but laugh through tears. The most frustrating thing is that I knew I should be rational, but as soon as I panic, I sell, and then it rebounds. It makes me so mad I want to stomp my feet. I still have to admit, choosing the wrong coins is a minor issue; a total mental breakdown is the real fatal illness. This round of reflection is pretty good, better than me. I'm still in numbness...

Damn, this is exactly what I experienced last year. Chasing the highs at the peak, I really got kicked in the head by a donkey.

Really, emotional trading is the biggest enemy. That hits too close to home.

The old habit of chasing gains and selling losses is easy to talk about but really damn hard to break.

Honestly, seeing this kind of thing is a bit upsetting... Isn't that how I am too? Knowing I should be rational, but still impulsively chasing highs.

ngl the emotional trading bit hits different... technically speaking, most retail positions fail because they lack sufficient validation of their own bias patterns before entering. basically you were running deprecated decision-making protocols while market conditions shifted. should've implemented a stricter risk framework instead of chasing liquidity on garbage alts tbh
