You've heard many warnings in the crypto world, but when you finally listen, it's often already too late. I've seen people sincerely share investment logic and risk warnings, no matter how earnest their words, it’s all in vain—because when someone is full of confidence, they simply can't hear those voices.

This is actually an interesting paradox. The ones who need to be most alert are precisely the ones who are least receptive. Truly heartfelt advice only shines after you've suffered a loss and calmed down. If someone had told me this a few years ago, I would have cherished it immensely.

So instead of obsessing over whether a certain coin is worth buying, ask yourself: are you truly in a mindset that can accept unwelcome truths?

Blood-loss veteran's ramblings... If only someone had told me this two years ago --- If I hadn't been so confident back then, I wouldn't have lost so much, haha --- The most heartbreaking thing is, I understand the principles, but I just can't take them to heart --- Now I regret it all; those advice back then really was good --- Isn't this just me? Only after losing everything do I realize what unkind words mean --- By the time I could listen to advice, it was already too late to act on it --- If only I had this self-awareness earlier, what was I waiting for? --- No doubt about it, I am the one most in need of a wake-up call, yet I am the one who refuses to listen --- Ironically, understanding the principles and being able to execute them are two different things --- A big dream in the crypto world, waking up to find myself in a pit --- Look at this, reflecting now, it’s really both sour and frustrating

Really, it's easy to say take advice but hard to do when it comes to actually following it, especially when the profit-making effect kicks in. Honestly, I find it hard to listen now, but I'm glad I was caught before to realize it. The biggest enemy is really the mindset, much harder than choosing coins. It's just that missing that one liquidation lesson, no one listens. This statement is a bit harsh, I have to admit that sometimes I get a little carried away.

That's exactly right, it's so heartbreaking. I've been through it too, refusing to listen at the time. A bloody lesson hit me hard before I finally understood what clarity really means. The hardest part isn't choosing the right coin, but recognizing your current mindset. Really, when you're greedy, everything you hear is just noise.

I've heard it too many times haha, only realize after losing money myself each time --- Basically, greed blinds the eyes, and all advice is useless --- That's why I laugh every time I see someone calling a trade now --- Really, only after losing can you understand; there are no shortcuts --- The most toxic thing is overconfidence, more deadly than any risk --- If I had known earlier, I would have listened; now I can only painfully pay the tuition --- I'm the kind of person who can only climb out after falling into a pit --- Having the right mindset makes everything easier; if your mindset is off, all advice is just background noise --- The truth in the crypto world is: regret always comes faster than warnings

That's incredible, just like me right now... holding coins in my hand, ears pressed with cotton Listen to advice, you have to go through a bloody lesson before it sinks in That's why some people keep asking me when to sell. The more they ask, the less I want to tell I should have listened when I had the chance; my mind was full of gains, and only after the fall did I remember someone warned me Can you really accept the mindset? Ha... you’d have to ask about the color of the account After losing once, you understand. Really, don’t ask me how I know The most ironic thing is, now I’m advising others, and the way they look at me is the same as I looked at those who advised me back then

I hear you, I understand, but I still can't help but click and buy... That's the magic of the crypto world, isn't it?
