#数字资产生态回暖 Buying altcoins in a bull market is a big learning experience.



I’ve seen two complete cycles, from making huge profits to losing everything and crying on the ground. The moments that truly change your account balance all happen during the bull market. Here are some hard-earned lessons for everyone.

**First Pitfall: Always Waiting for the Bottom**

As long as the upward trend is stable, small early corrections are not risks; they’re actually opportunities to buy in. But most people? Stare at the candlestick charts every day, waiting for that "perfect" price. And what do they get? Missing out. Watching others make money and drooling in envy.

**Second: Don’t Put All Eggs in One Basket**

The ironclad rule. Public chains, AI, gaming, DePIN—you can never predict which sector the next wave of capital will flood into. Diversification sounds like common sense, but it can save your skin. Balanced allocation, rotating profits—that’s the right way.

**Third: The Power of Holding**

The biggest gains in a bull market come from one word—hold. People who trade frequently in short-term are usually the ones who end up selling at a loss. Once you get out, it’s hard to get back in. Less trading, let the market trend work for you.

**Fourth: Counter-Intuitive Thinking is Key**

When everyone is criticizing a sector, opportunities are brewing. Conversely, when the entire community is celebrating and shouting buy signals, it’s time to be cautious. Accumulate during disagreements, observe quietly during consensus.

**Fifth: Corrections Are Normal**

A true bull market will experience several sharp corrections. Every time, someone will think "This is really the end," and then get shaken out. But if you hold assets with solid fundamentals or strong consensus, after the volatility, new highs are often possible. Don’t be scared into selling during washouts.

**One sentence summary:**

A bull market is a gift for those who can wait. It doesn’t care who’s smart; it rewards those who pick the right direction, dare to hold, and can withstand volatility. Use position management instead of gambling mentality, and long-term holding to cure trading anxiety.

Really, I still regret missing out on that opportunity. Hey, wait a moment, this fourth point about reverse thinking seems more crucial than anything else. There's nothing wrong with that statement, but it's easy to lose clarity of mind when executing. Another article persuading people to hold their positions, I don't believe you for a second. Diversified allocation sounds good in theory, but in reality, you still need to dip into one or two assets at the bottom.

That's right, missing out is the most painful. It was exactly like that in the past two months, waiting for the bottom every day, and it took off directly.

The people who missed out are probably crying the hardest now, really. Frequent trading is like suicide; I know this firsthand. Counter-trading has saved my account several times. Those who waited for the bottom didn't make any money, that's the truth. Diversification is very important, I’ve learned this the hard way. Hold on and don't move, it's the hardest but most profitable.

That's right, but I still can't shake the habit of chasing highs, I'm already defeated.

To be honest, missing out is more painful than losing money.

Missing out is really more painful than losing money, I deeply understand this. Frequent trading just makes things worse for yourself, just hold steady. The loudest curses during a big drop usually come from those who are trying to bottom fish the hardest. Wait until this round of correction stabilizes, no need to rush. Reverse positioning is the key, don’t follow the trend and chase highs, everyone.

The meaning may be rough, but the key is to be able to endure it.

It's the same old story again; missing out feels even more painful than losing money.

That's really spot on. I'm just the first lesson in the trap, always missing out every time.
