What's the paradox here? A quality token gets hyped and pumps to 100k–200k, then everyone starts saying the same thing: solid project, but the price is too steep right now. So they wait. And wait. But then—how do we ever create multiple million-dollar runners if everyone's sitting on the sidelines waiting for a better entry? The FOMO kicks in once price starts moving, but by then people regret not getting in. It's that classic tension between not wanting to chase pumps and not wanting to miss the move. The market keeps cycling this way: early believers diamond hand, late arrivals wait for dips that might never come. Question is—does this mentality actually hurt liquidity in the long run?

Basically, it's greediness, always thinking you can buy at a lower price.

Wait, wait, wait, isn't this the same script played every time? Good projects need someone to take over, right? It can't be that the whole world waits for the lowest point.

Nah, this is the fate of retail investors. Just wait and wait until the end of time.

Wait, isn't this a self-fulfilling prophecy... The more you wait, the more you miss out; the more you miss out, the more you regret. In the end, no one will want to make money.

Basically, everyone is waiting for someone else to make the first move, but no one dares to get on the train. In the end, those who miss out are filled with regret.

To be honest, this is the common problem in the crypto world—always waiting for lower prices and missing the entire wave.

Basically, it's greediness—wanting to have both the fish and the bear's paw.

ngl that's why I always fail to buy the dip... by the time it's cheap, it's already sky-high
