You'd think people fear losing everything most, but that's not what keeps them up at night. The real terror? Missing out. Watching something skyrocket while you're sitting on the sidelines—that haunts investors way more than the actual risk of blowing through their savings. It's backwards, honestly. That FOMO-driven panic is probably the biggest trap in crypto. Fear of missing gains overrides fear of missing money. That's when people make their worst decisions.

Honestly, FOMO is the biggest killer. How many people have seen their accounts blow up because they chased the high?

ngl, the game theoretical implications here are kinda wild—arguably we've just described the core incentive misalignment that keeps most retail trapped in sub-optimal cycles. path dependency is real.

NGL, FOMO is really more terrifying than losing money. How many people have gone all-in just to chase the high?

NGL, FOMO really can make people lose their minds. I've seen too many old-timers go all-in because they're afraid of missing out.
