My experience playing RIVER in this round of the market has completely awakened me. I initially still held onto the hope of breaking even, but now I just think about how not to lose so badly. To be honest, the difficulty of this market far exceeds expectations—trading is hard, mentality is hard, choices are hard, and I keep hitting walls everywhere. I used to think I could control everything, but now I understand what market education really means. Instead of苦苦纠缠于这些代币, it's better to recognize your own level early and accept some inevitable losses. There are more opportunities worth paying attention to outside the market; why insist on fighting a project to the death?

Haha, RIVER definitely taught people a lesson this time. The dream of breaking even is shattered. The market is just like this; no one can escape this education. Instead of stubbornly fighting, it's better to cut losses in time. I'm slowly realizing that now. It's about time to recognize your own strength, so you don't fall deeper and deeper. Anyway, there are plenty of opportunities, why stick stubbornly to one coin? This time, I guess I paid for a lesson. I'll be more cautious in the future. Honestly, the hardest part is mindset; greed can be deadly. I agree. Some projects are really just scams. Losing so much made me realize how important risk management is.

RIVER this pit, I also fell into it, and woke up a bit late --- The market is indeed a tough teacher, and the tuition is ridiculously expensive --- That's right, letting go earlier is better than anything, why bother struggling with yourself --- Uh, this wave really taught me a lesson, and I regret not running away earlier --- Instead of stubbornly holding onto tokens, it's better to get a good sleep. Once the mindset is gone, everything is gone --- Haha, this is my annual collection of lessons learned, already archived --- Now I realize how big the cost of greed is, RIVER's pit took half my life to fill --- Alright, everyone is talking about letting go, but the next project will still be pursued. We are all like this --- Market education is still useful, but the tuition is a bit too harsh --- That's a valid point, admitting you're bad at this is really not shameful

RIVER this time is really a living negative example. Your awareness is much better than mine back then, haha. --- To put it nicely, it's market education; to be blunt, it's only after getting beaten up enough that you wake up. I understand this feeling. --- Recognizing your own level is truly the key. How many people are stuck in the mindset of "I'm just one step away from breaking even." --- But to be fair, letting go now is already quite fast; many people are still stubbornly fighting it out. --- Instead of entangling with these coins, it's better to look at other tracks—there are plenty of opportunities.

RIVER this time really broke my defenses, I should have listened to the advice earlier.

RIVER this wave is really fierce, it's the hardest to cut losses and sell off Market education costs are truly expensive It's never too late to wake up, the key is how to adjust afterward Sticking stubbornly to a project is really pointless, let's just give up The more you lose, the clearer you see yourself, but unfortunately the price is too heavy Choosing coins is difficult, cutting losses is even harder, this is crypto, right?

ngl, this reads like someone finally grasping network effects after betting on liquidity that wasn't there—classic adoption curve miscalibration. RIVER had zero cultural convergence happening, protocol sustainability was never the play here

RIVER this wave is indeed fierce, the cost of market education is too high Sticking stubbornly to a project is really pointless, I should have let go earlier My mindset has collapsed, but I still have to keep exploring The difficulty of the market lies here, no one can avoid it Cutting losses in time is much better than holding on stubbornly, to be honest
