When the market is declining, I could have run away. I could have given in. I could have escaped.

But I chose to take the opposite action—adding to my position and buying, sticking to my conviction.

This experience has taught me an important lesson. Friends who are optimistic about this position, remember this clearly: the next time you’re about to press the exit button, stop for a moment. Too many people panic and sell at a low price, while the real gains are often reserved for those who can hold on. That’s the difference.

actually, per my analysis of panic-selling patterns... statistically speaking, survivor bias is doing heavy lifting in that narrative. let me pull up my spreadsheet—most hodlers don't survive the next drawdown, they just get louder about the ones they did. taxonomically incorrect framing if you ask me

Alright, I’ll come clean — I didn’t sell.

That's correct, but what is the prerequisite for increasing your position? The fundamentals haven't collapsed, the token deflation model is still in place, and player retention hasn't plummeted? These indicators haven't been checked; relying solely on faith to increase your position can easily lead to a failure.

That's true, but I don't know if you'll be able to fully capitalize on this wave of adding positions.

Damn it, it's the same logic again. Have you ever heard of survivor bias?

Damn, this is my style. It really feels great when adding positions at the bottom.

It's the same old story... Adding positions at the bottom sounds impressive, but why not talk about those who got caught holding the bag?

Damn it, it's the same old story. Every time there's a dip, someone comes out with a story, and when it rebounds, they start preaching about holding to make money. The problem is, do you even know if it will rebound?
