Watching certain project communities make decisions this year has been... educational. Here's the real talk: getting access to fresh liquidity right as we enter a potential bear cycle? That's actually a gift, not a curse.

Missed your exit at the hype peak? Time to be honest about your trading execution. Were your entries solid? Was your exit strategy clear from day one? These are the fundamentals that separate consistent traders from the rest.

And throwing liquidity at overhyped platforms without a clear thesis? That's how people get trapped. Before you commit capital to any venue, ask yourself: What's my real reason for being here? Is it the fundamentals, or just FOMO?

Bear market bottom-doubling is afraid to move, and at the top of the bull market, go all-in—really outrageous Wait, this guy is right... I need to reflect on my exit strategy He's giving us a lesson again, but it hits hard... most people probably just FOMO in New liquidity is indeed a pie in the sky, the problem is you need money to buy the dip Clear entry point? I'm still confused as hell... Argument? I just saw others buying, so I bought along Has anyone truly asked themselves why they are investing in this project... or are they just throwing a tantrum This wave really taught me a lesson, next time I dare to FOMO, I won't be a human anymore

Uh... Honestly, not running at the peak was deserved; can't blame the market. --- The liquidity given away in the bear market is really sweet; it all depends on whether you're brave enough to take it. --- The money invested due to FOMO... nine out of ten suffer heavy losses; this is a lesson learned. --- Exit strategy? Many people probably haven't even thought about this question. --- Fresh liquidity is indeed a gift; just worry that people don't understand its value. --- Entry point, exit point, stop-loss point... missing any one of these will lead to being harvested. --- Platforms that are overhyped are mostly for those who haven't done their homework, to be blunt. --- The bear market is actually a good time to build positions, provided you truly understand the project's fundamentals. --- Throwing money in without a clear reason? Then just wait to be trapped; there's no one to blame. --- Looking at the community's operations over the past year... it really opened my eyes, though not all of it was good.

Bear markets are actually a good opportunity to increase your positions; it all depends on whether you're willing to get in. --- Those who constantly shout FOMO haven't really thought through why they're buying. --- Brothers who have never had an exit strategy should reflect on that. --- If you've been burned once by an overhyped platform, do you really want to get burned again? --- If you rush in without a clear entry point, who’s to blame? --- This is where the true difference between a trader and a gambler lies. --- Having plenty of liquidity doesn't matter; what's important is whether your mind is clear. --- Most of those who bought out of FOMO are probably trapped now. --- Watching the wild moves in project communities, I've truly learned a lesson in what not to do. --- Still afraid when new liquidity enters a bear market? You need to change that mindset.

ngl, the "history rhymes" part hits different when you're literally watching 2017 tulip mania 2.0 unfold in real time... those entry/exit points? yeah, that's where 99% of people fail their own audit lmao

Is liquidity coming with the bear market? It’s indeed an opportunity, just depends on whether you dare to get on board. --- Sounds good, but most people go all-in without even thinking about their stop-loss levels. --- FOMO-driven entries never end well; that’s the truth. --- Those who didn’t run at the peak of the hype? Now they blame the market? Or should they first ask themselves what they were thinking? --- More liquidity actually leads to more chaos, with many people getting completely wiped out. --- Is the entry point solid? Ha, most people haven’t even considered this question. --- Platforms that are overhyped are just ATMs, but the cash they dispense is your money. --- Fundamentals vs. FOMO—this choice reveals who the real bagholders are. --- This bear market has taught me one thing: trading without a plan is gambling. --- Seeing others’ crazy moves in their communities, I am truly speechless.

ngl, the whole "liquidity in a bear market" framing is lowkey a cope. but yeah, if you're actually building thesis-driven positions instead of chasing narrative peaks, suddenly the macro makes sense. most people just don't have the discipline for it, tbh.
