Have you ever thought that market fluctuations are essentially a psychological game? When panic hits, a large number of retail investors are driven by emotions to sell off, but in reality, the true value of these high-quality assets has not changed. Essentially, those who rush to sell are just giving opportunities to those who remain rational.
That's why many traders say: "Be greedy when others are fearful, and be fearful when others are greedy." It sounds simple, but it's very difficult to do. When most people are cutting losses and fleeing, holding back to buy the dip truly requires mental resilience.
But let me clarify—buying the dip is not a Hail Mary. The truly smart approach is to plan and discipline your layout. It could be building positions in batches, setting stop-loss levels, or only testing the waters with idle funds. Those who go all-in recklessly often end up hurt the most.
Mainstream coins like ETH and SHIB also offer many opportunities amid volatility. The key is whether you can maintain rational judgment even when the market is at its most pessimistic.

Nice words, but when a crash really happens, who can hold? I've seen a bunch of people talk about discipline but go all-in with their hands.

It sounds good, but in reality, only a few can really endure. I've seen too many people who talk about being rational, but panic and lose their way at the first drop. The strategy of building positions in batches is good, but when it comes to execution, everyone wants to take a big gamble...

It sounds good, but when it comes to dumping, how many people can hold steady? I, for one, tend to sell with a shaky hand.
DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) sounds good, but the problem is, who knows where the bottom is? Instead of guessing, it's better to go all in and gamble.
I think ETH is indeed cheap, but now it's a 50/50 chance to buy in, and luck plays too big of a role.

It sounds good, but there are really not many people who can truly hold their ground. I've seen too many people who claim to be rational, but panic at the first drop.

Sounds nice, but when panic really sets in, who the hell can stay rational? I'm that retail investor who cuts losses.
