The legendary investor Warren Buffett once shared a maxim that has endured for decades on Wall Street and now resonates strongly in the crypto markets: "Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful." This contrarian principle defines the game of trading. While most chase highs driven by FOMO, those who master their emotions accumulate during dips. And when panic sells positions at a loss, those who stay calm capture the opportunities. It's not magic, it's market psychology. The volatility that scares some is exactly where others build fortunes.

That's right, that's the logic. While most people are still chasing the high, I've already laid my trap.

To be honest, Buffett's statement is a joke in the crypto world; most people simply can't do it.

That's right, FOMO selling is the perfect opportunity to buy the dip.

Honestly, the idea of greed and fear has been overused. The key is still having spare money to buy in.

That's right, but very few people can actually do it.

Wait, is this theory really useful in a bear market? I feel like most people just can't do it at all.
