Some people say they are "guarding the faith of the K-line," but in fact, they are just putting a plaster on themselves. The harsh truth about holding positions is even more painful—rationality has long been offline, leaving only self-deception narratives.
"Not willing to cut losses" has become "the courage to fight against the market," and the illusion of "hoping time will heal" has turned into "waiting for a miracle." Every percentage point of loss in the account reinforces a stubborn obsession: you must turn it around, or it’s a surrender. But the problem is, this mindset itself is a bottomless pit. You’re not protecting your position; you’re fighting with yourself—refusing to admit the self that made wrong decisions.
When the market trends of $BTC, $BNB, and other coins turn into a battlefield for personal dignity, the market is no longer just a market but a game of souls. The shackles of sunk costs tighten more and more, until one day, you realize that the real enemy has never been the market.

If only I hadn't been so greedy back then, I'm still here brooding over it now.

Haha, this is me. I always say this time will be different, but it turns out to be the same loss again.

Well, that hits close to home. I have people like that around me, stubbornly holding on and refusing to give up.

That hits too close to home. A bunch of people around me are like this, treating losses as a test of faith... It's really time to wake up.
