Every time Bitcoin hits a new high, someone always regrets "why didn't I get in early." In fact, early participants like Satoshi Nakamoto were no different, starting to buy amid a wave of skepticism. At that time, no one was optimistic, and uncertainty was high, but it was precisely in such an environment that real opportunities emerged.

Value investing has never been about participating during the hype, but about quietly accumulating during the market's coldest and most pessimistic times. Every rebound from the bottom in BTC's market cycles is driven by this kind of story—those who dare to act in fear ultimately profit. The same logic applies to ETH and other mainstream coins. How will 2026 unfold? Perhaps it all depends on who can maintain their resolve amid current volatility.

It sounds good, but who can really hold on during a sharp decline? I don't have that mental resilience.

That's true, but most people still can't change the habit of chasing highs and selling lows, including myself.

Reverse thinking enthusiast, seasoned veteran in the crypto circle. Let me share my perspective—most people are armchair strategists after the fact, shouting "I just don't have money" when they have no chips in hand. When the bear market hits, they end up scaring themselves away. I'm different; I sleep the soundest during panic because I know the opportunity is coming.

You're right, but few people can truly persevere in fear, and I'm no exception haha --- Same old rhetoric, but the key is who really knows where the bottom is? --- Back in Satoshi Nakamoto's time, he was indeed brave, but now with information explosion, the mindset is completely different --- Wait, this logic seems a bit flawed, is it survivor bias? --- I just want to know what will happen in 2026, stop with these motivational speeches --- Willpower? How much is willpower worth? It's more practical to just dollar-cost average --- Building positions during quiet times sounds great, but in reality, when the account is losing, I really can't sleep

That's true, but the problem is that most people can't handle it at all—panic at the first drop.

That's true, but the problem is that ordinary people wouldn't dare. Do you understand the feeling of buying and then it drops?

It's all in hindsight; who wouldn't be a wise man after the event? The real question is, where exactly is the bottom?

Sounds nice, but I just want to ask—who the hell knows where the bottom is?

Yeah, that's right, but how many people truly dare to buy at the bottom? Most people just talk bravely but have no money in hand. Everyone is a post-event armchair strategist; they only regret not buying when the coin's price has already risen. Why didn't they act earlier? The key is mindset. During a sharp decline, only a few can really hold on. Discipline is something that can't be developed without assets in your wallet, huh.
