The crypto market is a fascinating mirror of human psychology. People aren't just chasing gains—they're seeking belonging, validation, and the thrill of participation. When a token gains momentum, it's rarely pure fundamentals driving adoption. Instead, you see FOMO, tribal identity, and the very human need to feel part of something bigger. The speculation isn't really about the coin itself; it's about what it represents to each person involved. Understanding this behavioral layer might be more useful than analyzing charts alone.

Exactly, I just got painfully cut by this sense of belonging.

That's so true. Instead of looking at candlestick charts, I care more about what I'm actually chasing.

Really clever, I am part of the group that was played to death by this psychological game.

ngl that's why I always lose money, it's not really a chart problem... I just get easily brainwashed.
