I Will Definitely Not Miss the Next Bull Market: The Time Illusion Trap of Cryptocurrency Retail Investors
Almost everyone who has survived the bear market has said one thing: "I will definitely not miss the next bull market." But when the bull market actually arrives, they still miss it, or rather, they don't even recognize that a bull market has begun.
This is not a matter of cognition, but rather a trap of time illusion. During a bear market, the human brain constructs a "future ideal state": by then, I will be more mature, more calm, have more capital, and be better at judgment. But the reality is that when a bull market truly arrives, the intensity of emotions and the heat of the market far exceed your rational capacity, and you will still be greedy, fearful, and hesitant.
Even more dangerously, the early stages of a bull market are often a combination of "uncertainty + obscurity"; real opportunities arise when things are the least lively. Most people only FOMO in after "the whole network is shouting bull"; by then, valuations are high and risks are great, making them part of the tail end of the bull market's food chain.
So stop fantasizing about having too much preparation time for the "next bull market." How you train your system during a bear market, how you cultivate judgment and execution habits, is the real decisive factor in whether you can seize the next round.
The cryptocurrency world is not about becoming rich through plans, but about being prepared in advance, laying out a strategy early, and believing beforehand—by the time you "confirm before entering," the bull market is already over.
