FOMO, short for "Fear Of Missing Out," describes a sense of anxiety caused by the fear of missing out on others' gains—this mindset is especially amplified under the influence of social media.

What happens when people realize how hot a project or opportunity is? The moment FOMO truly triggers, what will the market do? The answer is often unexpected—at this point, trading volume, participation, and even the overall market enthusiasm all experience exponential growth. Millions of dollars in funds pouring in has become the norm. This is why understanding the driving forces of FOMO in the crypto market is crucial for traders and investors.

To be honest, it's human nature to feel envious when seeing others make money, but often you get trapped after chasing in. Speaking of this round, who got caught up and lost due to FOMO? It's already 2024, and some people are still playing this game? Wake up, brother. FOMO really kills without bloodshed; every time, it's the last person to step in as a stepping stone. Exponential growth sounds exciting, but that's all other people's stories.

I spend all day listening to people brag in the group, and as soon as I join, I get cut off.

Haha, it's the old familiar FOMO again. Basically, it's just jealousy of others making money. If you missed this wave, keep pushing in the next one. Daily social media bombardment—who can resist? The most dangerous time is often when funds are flooding in, but no one listens. To be honest, more people are killed by FOMO than by making money.

I'll be honest, watching others make money every day really ruins my mood. That's the biggest enemy.

The consultation records show that these types of FOMO patients exhibit similar clinical symptoms—large amounts of funds flowing in, inflated liquidity indicators, and then... symptoms of capital outflow erupting simultaneously. It is recommended to regularly review the quality of holdings.

To be honest, FOMO is just a trap. Seeing others make money makes it hard to hold back, and as a result, you jump in headfirst, losing nine out of ten times. Avoid crowded places, bro, really. It's the same old story of "exponential growth." Wake up, bagholder. Millions of funds pouring in? That depends on who is cutting whom. I only see the chaotic scene of the retail investors. The most terrifying thing about FOMO isn't the psychology; it's that you simply can't stop yourself.
