Whenever someone sighs about the past in front of me—how crazy Meme coins were back then, how altcoins just doubled easily, how early NFTs were so profitable—I always have the same question: and then what?

I only entered this circle later and missed that wave of dividends. But it’s precisely because I missed it that I understand one thing clearly—rather than dwelling on those "what ifs," it’s better to stay grounded and adapt to the current market.

I’m only in my twenties, with plenty of time ahead. Instead of repeatedly reliving past glories in memories, it’s better to invest energy into the opportunities of today. The market is moving, the world is racing, and opportunities are changing. Those who are stuck in the past have already been left behind.

Since I’ve chosen this path, I must move forward.

Well said. I missed the boat on Bitcoin that time, but instead of constantly saying "if only I had..." it's better to think about how to earn profits now. I'm already tired of those who boast every day about how much they make; in the end, they still end up losing everything. There are actually more opportunities now; it all depends on whether you're willing to go all in. Instead of reminiscing about the past, it's better to study the narratives of tomorrow—that's the right mindset. Web3 is still in its early stages; those who blindly praise history are indeed out of luck. Taking action is much more effective than feeling regret. Truly.

That's right, constantly reminiscing about how things used to be won't change your current holdings. It's better to think about where the next opportunity is. What's the use of regret? This circle is all about quick in and out; those who can't stand the pressure have already dropped out. Really? Those who keep reminiscing about the past are eventually abandoned by the times. It's pointless. Instead of sighing and lamenting, it's better to get on board. Opportunities are always there; it all depends on whether you can seize them. To be honest, newcomers aren't necessarily worse. The key is whether your mindset is right. Current opportunities can still turn things around.

Well said. It's those people who keep saying "If only I had bought back then" who haven't caught anything now. Alright, instead of dwelling on the missed opportunity, it's better to focus on how to play the hand you have now. Really, those who just entered the market are less burdened and clearer-headed than those trapped by their own memories. Complaining is useless; action is the real key. This mindset is correct, but I'm afraid most people will just say it and then continue to lie flat.

You're right, just talking without action is useless... The opportunities are right in front of us, but we’re not grabbing them. Honestly, those who keep bragging about past market conditions should have already gone to sleep. Missing out is just missing out; the key is what to do now, don’t live in "what ifs." Hey, wait, what can those old hands do now? It feels like they’re all done for. Is it really too late to enter now, or are there still plenty of opportunities? Jumping in now is possible, but it’ll make the wallet hurt... Instead of dwelling on the past, it’s better to study the current market trends carefully.

Really, hearing people talk about how things used to be every day just annoys me. If you missed out, you missed out; what's there to keep bringing up now? The opportunities for the next wave are still plenty; stop drowning in memories and self-indulgence. The chance to buy the dip in this wave is here, yet you're still dreaming of past wealth. Well said, looking forward is the way to go. Bitcoin is still rising; don’t live in the past. Someone should have burst this bubble long ago; dwelling on the past is a waste of time. The market doesn’t wait for anyone; those still telling stories need to wake up. Youth is an asset; wasting it on regrets is really pointless.
