I came across a joke and couldn't help but share it. A friend initially bought a few small Chinese series coins in their early holdings, and the more they looked at them, the more they felt there was potential. On a whim, they decided to add to all their main positions, and in the end, even bought more of the one they believed in the most — anyway, buying more as it drops, and expecting to break even once it hits the daily limit up next time. 😂

This logic sounds interesting, but back to reality, anyone who has chased small coins has probably experienced this. Watching the "Chives Zero" generation in the community add to their positions to catch the bottom, I can't help but ask everyone a real question: how much do you need to earn to truly let go of the desire to chase the rise? Or does this obsession never really go away?

The more it drops, the more you buy—I've heard this phrase too many times, and in the end, it just leads to more losses. --- Honestly, no one can really let go; that's the gambler's mentality. --- I see this logic is full of flaws, but I'm doing the same thing haha. --- The dream of bottom-fishing is always more glamorous than reality. Wake up, everyone. --- No matter how much you earn, you can't let go—that's our fate. --- By the time you add to your position, you've already lost, yet you're still comforting yourself.

The more it drops, the more I buy. I've used this strategy... and I'm still waiting to break even. --- Honestly, I haven't doubled my profits, so I can't let go of that greed. --- Everyone who has taken losses knows that, obsession is more valuable than coins. --- I'm very familiar with this move, friends. In the end, it's either liquidation or lying flat—there's no third option. --- Good question. My current answer is: it always exists, unless you go bankrupt once. --- Seeing people add to their positions in the community, I know this wave will again teach someone a lesson. --- Just keep adding and cutting losses repeatedly—when will this cycle end? --- Skipping Chinese small-cap coins, those who have skipped these pitfalls are all doing well.

Haha, isn't this just me? I've heard the excuse of "buying more as it drops" how many times already. --- How much profit is enough to let go? Honestly, there’s no specific number. Once obsession takes hold in your mind, it’s hard to shake off. --- Eyes light up when bottom-fishing, but no one has ever fully walked away unscathed. --- Small altcoins are just like this. Every time they say this is the last time, but then they turn around and open a new position. --- I can understand increasing positions in main assets, but adding to the one you’re most confident in... brother, are you investing or gambling? --- I’ve heard "next time it hits the limit up, I’ll break even" so many times that my ears are calloused. And then what? There’s always a next time. --- Good question. I can only say that some people have made profits but still can’t let go, while others who didn’t make any money find it even harder to move on.

Isn't this just my daily routine? When the technical indicators are all green, I start adding to my position, only feeling comfortable when the MACD crosses gold... but the more I add, the more I'm trapped.
