Why do investors always keep falling into the same traps?

Look at what has happened over the years: today, last week, and more than a hundred times last year — the same routines, the same outcomes. Repeatedly, this issue is right in front of us.

Participants in the market seem to be following the same script. From FOMO-driven surges to panic buying at lows, from chasing hot projects to buying at high prices, these classic moves are played out year after year. Is the market too cunning, or is our memory too short?

Perhaps the real issue is not that market rules have changed, but that each new group of entrants is simply repeating the path taken by the previous ones.

Honestly, new rookies keep coming, and old tricks will always fool someone.

Basically, it's just a continuous influx of new rookies; there will always be someone paying tuition fees.

To be honest, new rookies keep coming in endlessly; there's always someone willing to step into the trap. It's a weakness of human nature, brother—greed and fear are just cycling. Every time, we say this time is different, but the same old story repeats. It's that time again when newcomers come to send money. Those who have lost money know best, but those who have made money forget the fastest.
