We’re clearly in a fear phase right now. This is usually when people say they want to buy, but don’t actually pull the trigger.
Think back to not long ago. Everyone was convinced there would be a huge alt season or a Bitcoin bull run in late 2025. It was all over the place. Then nothing really happened. Now those same people are suddenly sure everything is going to zero. Do you really think this time they’ve got it all figured out?
Keep piling into shorts if you want. One random day, maybe when nobody expects it, the market will wake up and you’ll see a +30–40% move overnight. People won’t understand it, they’ll wait, hesitate, then after a few parabolic days they’ll jump back in at much higher prices like always.
Don’t be that person. Buy when fear is high, sell when everyone is euphoric. You don’t need to nail the exact bottom. Even if it drops another 20%, that doesn’t change the bigger picture if you’re buying during the “sale” phase.
Just remember, taking risk is part of making returns, but only risk what you can afford to lose. Personally I’ve got about $15k in right now and yes, I’m deep in the red. That’s nothing new. I haven’t forgotten the plan. Panic selling now has never helped anyone.
Stay calm. Stay disciplined. The ones who make it through these periods are usually the ones who don’t panic when it feels uncomfortable.
