Being early isn't about being wrong—it's about perspective. In crypto markets, timing often trumps precision. You could nail the fundamentals but exit too soon. You could spot genuine value yet watch it sleep for months. The real skill isn't predicting the exact bottom or top; it's staying positioned while others second-guess themselves. Many projects looked overvalued before their next cycle. Many trades seemed pointless until they suddenly weren't. What matters is maintaining your thesis through the noise, adjusting for new data, not abandoning conviction at the first sign of drawdown. Early and right beats late and obvious.

Getting caught early is common, but those who can really hold on end up making a fortune. The key is maintaining the right mindset and not being too soft with your hands.

Entering the market early really tests your mental resilience; you have to endure the dull period of a few months, otherwise you'll always want to cut losses and escape the peak.

nah this is just copium dressed up as wisdom. i've watched positions die slow while "maintaining thesis" - that's called bagholding with extra steps. the real skill? knowing when to fold instead of pretending drawdowns are just noise.

Entering early means getting trapped early, but as long as you hold your mindset, you'll win. The key is not to be scared off by the pullback—many people die before dawn.

Entering the market early is really a mindset game. I especially dislike those who say I timed the bottom wrong; it's clearly just a matter of timing.

Ha, you're right, but my problem is that I keep "persisting" in losses until the very end.

I've already said it, rushing in early isn't a mistake; it's about perspective. Those shouting "it's dead" can't see the next cycle. I never follow the crowd to buy the dip.

Entering early is really torture. Watching others overtake later makes me want to get in, but I also feel both resentment and envy.

Entering the market early is indeed better than late, but the key is to maintain the right mindset... How many people will cut their losses after a 20% drop in this wave?
