Have you ever heard this saying: "If only I hadn't sold those coins back then."

But upon closer reflection, this logic simply doesn't hold up.

Life is never determined by a single "if." The decisions you regret now are actually the final result of a series of similar choices you made in the past. It’s your attitude towards risk, your control over desires, and the courage you show at critical moments—these things accumulate over time and ultimately shape who you are now.

So, what truly changes you is not the whims of fate, but every judgment you’ve made along the way. Seemingly accidental mistakes are, in essence, the sum of your various psychological states and choices. Once you understand this, your perception of the market will truly shift.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. I've long come to terms with it—rather than blaming others or the world, it's better to reflect on oneself.

That sounds comfortable to hear, but who can stay this clear-headed when it’s time to spend money? --- No, every time I say this set of words, but in critical moments, it's easy to panic. --- You're right, but I still regret selling early haha. --- It's a typical case of hindsight bias; the real situation is just greed plus fear. --- Hmm... it does seem to be like that; mindset determines returns. --- This logic is correct, but when it comes to execution, the brain short-circuits. --- No matter how good the psychological preparation, a bear market is hard to endure.

I've heard this kind of talk too many times. It sounds nice, but when it really hits rock bottom, how many people can still remember it?

You're not wrong, but I still have a bit of regret haha Actually, I just couldn't hold on and my mentality collapsed, it's not just about the coin I should have realized long ago that I don't have that kind of resilience

That's right, regretting it just doesn't help at all. The key issue is still your mindset.

I've been wanting to gain enlightenment for a long time, but I sold again with a shaky hand. Life is built on a pile of bad decisions, there's nothing to regret. That's true, but when it drops 20%, who still remembers that? It's just a mindset issue; next time, I'll do better... probably. It's all psychological; the hard part is that I can't change myself.
