Chasing hot topics and luck, can it really help accumulate wealth? This question is worth serious consideration.
In fact, many people make a common mistake in the crypto market—always thinking about buying the next skyrocketing project, afraid of missing out on any "absolutely unregrettable" opportunity. But what is the reality? With a 99.99999% probability, betting like this is just a recipe for getting chopped.
The true big opportunities are never found in the "sexy" hot topics that make people go crazy with hype. They are hidden in the underlying logic that requires patience to study, in the infrastructure that needs time to develop, and in ecosystems that can survive and truly go far. The value of Bitcoin is not created overnight; it is accumulated and validated over many years.
So next time you feel the urge to FOMO, ask yourself: do you really believe in that one-in-a-million chance, or are you just trying to take a gamble? The former requires accepting the risk, while the latter might be better approached with a different mindset. In the crypto market, acknowledging probabilities is actually the most rational choice.

That's right, this year I was hit so hard by FOMO that I became numb.
But your Bitcoin example is a bit ironic; many people only got in by chasing hot topics...
Honestly, everyone understands the underlying logic, but the key question is how many people can resist the temptation? Anyway, I couldn't resist.

As someone who has been liquidated again and again, I want to say a heartfelt word: buying the dip on those "guaranteed to rise" crappy projects is really a fancy way of giving away money. My liquidation price can testify to that.

That's right, I was cut like that before, and I regret it to death now.

Exactly right. I am also an old hand who got caught by FOMO. Now I am holding onto Bitcoin and Ethereum tightly, and I ignore all other hot topics.

ngl, pattern analysis on this one screams classic survivorship bias... let me pull the data real quick. 99.99999% rugpull rate? those numbers flagged as statistical anomaly in my threat database.

That was really harsh, hitting too many people's pain points.

That's correct, but I will still chase new coins, just not go all in like that.
