Sometimes you just gotta remember—being early isn't the same as being wrong. That's the difference between those who panic sell at the first dip and those who actually get it. In crypto, timing matters, but conviction matters more. If you believe in the tech, the adoption, the fundamentals... then maybe you're not making a mistake. You're just playing a different game.

That's true, early entry indeed makes it easier to get caught, but those who hold on have all made profits.

Early investors are tested the most when they are trapped; true believers never regret their entry timing.

Arriving early and being wrong are two different things; that's a spot-on statement.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have paper-handed. Watching others bottom fish while I panic here.

Arriving early and being wrong are two different things, and there's nothing wrong with that. What I worry about are those who shout for help at the first drop, without really understanding what they believe in.

I've already said it, those who are not panicking in this wave are the real winners.

Entering early doesn't mean you're wrong. I agree with that, but it depends on what you're trusting, right?

Entering early is synonymous with getting cut. Is there still a need to say this now?

I've already said it, a big drop is not the end game, it's a buying opportunity. Those people who run at the first sign of green are really wasting their time.
