【Missed WLFI, missed Plasma, and missed the $3000 Ethereum, do I still have a chance to get rich?】
"If I had known ETH would hit a new high, I should have gone all in at 3000."
"At that time, I thought OK would pump, but unfortunately, I bought too little."
When we see the price rise, we regret, "If only I had bought at a lower point"; when we see the price drop, we lament, "Why didn't I sell at a higher point?"
Why do we always regret missed opportunities?
The result? Time and again, we fall into self-blame and anxiety; next time we trade, we either hesitate to act or impulsively chase high prices, making ourselves more vulnerable to the market's whims.
In fact, this is exactly what is known in financial psychology as regret aversion and hindsight bias.
You always use the result to negate the decision made at that time, forgetting that the market is inherently full of uncertainty.
No one can consistently buy at the lowest point and sell at the highest point.
To escape this psychological trap, you might try three steps:
- Write a trading journal: record the logic at the time, rather than the result.
- Distinguish between decision and result: correct logic can sometimes lead to bad outcomes; this is a matter of probability.
- Set rules rather than act arbitrarily: buy in batches, set take-profit and stop-loss orders, and manage your emotions according to the rules.
Similarly, you don't need to seize every opportunity to make money; capturing just 1-2 big opportunities is enough.
0xSun missed Pnut before catching Trump; the wizard suffered multi-million U liquidations before achieving fame with Ordi+Act.
What matters is not seizing every chance to make money, but improving and growing with each trade, summarizing trading experiences and enhancing mindset, ultimately leading to a decisive victory.
The market never rewards regret, it only rewards those with discipline.
There will always be opportunities in the market.
