After spending a long time in the crypto world, you will realize a harsh truth: pursuing the applause of the majority often marks the beginning of collective delusion.
Look at those who follow the trend. They are not buying into conviction, but into emotion. When rumors of a Federal Reserve rate cut emerge, they rush to buy; when the market pulls back, they all cut their losses together. What is the consensus of most people? Simply put, it's another way of describing the herd mentality.
$BTC, $ETH, $BNB — those truly making money are not the ones following mainstream opinions. Independent thinking is becoming a luxury — you must have the courage to question seemingly ironclad facts and the bravery to endure loneliness.
This is not arrogance, but clarity. The approval of the majority often proves that your decisions might be flawed.

Honestly, most people lose money because they listen to too many voices.

It's the same old rhetoric... Following the trend is indeed foolish, but independent thinking must be based on in-depth research. Simply going against the grain doesn't mean you're awake. I've seen too many people get liquidated directly due to "contrarian strategies," which is just as deadly as herd mentality.

That's true, but I think most people simply can't listen.

You're not wrong, but I still follow the trend. I'm not lying to you, self-discipline is ridiculously expensive.

Exactly right, the herd effect really works every time in the crypto world.

You're absolutely right, this wave of follow-the-leader retail investors are about to get caught again.

There's nothing wrong with that, but how many people can truly think in reverse? Most people oppose the herd verbally, but turn around and follow the trend.
