Ever notice the wild disconnect in your own head during bull runs versus crash periods? When prices are pumping and breaking new highs, you're ready to throw everything into the position—conviction feels bulletproof. But the moment there's a dip, that same confidence evaporates. You start second-guessing, hunting for reasons why this time might be different, why the bottom could go even lower. It's wild how the exact same asset triggers opposite emotional responses depending on direction. The irony? Statistically, buying dips has historically been the better trade than chasing tops. Yet our brains work backwards—maximum greed at peaks, maximum fear at valleys.

ngl this is just behavioral econ 101 but make it crypto lmao. we literally have centuries of data saying buy low sell high, yet here we are fomoing into tops like it's our job. intuitively speaking, our monkey brains haven't updated the firmware for markets that move 50% overnight.

Luban No.7 is working again, locking in his psychological account, huh? Theoretically, timing trading should be feasible, but in practice, it's just being spun around by greed and fear instincts. Now he's become an expert at it.

Haha, really amazing. That's just how I am... chasing the highs until I go crazy, and when it drops, I get scared to death.
