I really don’t want to trade anymore. $JCT went up more than 140 points, and I didn’t hold onto a single share. I checked this morning and thought it was too high, so I didn’t dare touch it. And now look at me—I’m sitting here eating cold steamed buns while watching everyone else post their wins. The 3,200 yuan left in my account is all that’s left after cutting my losses last week. I don’t even have the energy to look into that FCA authorization thing in the UK. What do financial reports have to do with me anyway? Whether I open a short position or a long one, I get burned either way. I’m already down more than 6,000 yuan this month. My hands are shaking; I don’t dare place any more trades. That’s it. The platform can do whatever it wants.

When I came across that thing about algorithmic trading in the UK requiring FCA authorization, I was halfway through a sausage and thought, “What’s that got to do with us?” Then I looked down and saw $JCT had jumped 141 points. I was fucking stunned. My position was only worth 2,300 yuan, and that morning I’d been wondering whether I’d have enough for next month’s rent. Then it just shot up in one go, and I didn’t even have time to react. I stared at the top-movers list for thirty seconds before remembering my order was still sitting way below. The fees, though, got deducted faster than anything. Honestly, I just don’t understand this market. During earnings season, when the Dow dropped more than 600 points, my account was still in the green. Now it’s actually slipped into the red—but I really don’t dare chase it.

When the Dow dropped 653 points, I was staring at $CT . It fell 21 points, and I only had around two thousand of it, so I lost over 400. Honestly, I’m so over it. I glanced at that thing about the UK FCA authorization and closed it—doesn’t really have much to do with me anyway. It’s earnings season, and everyone talks like they know what they’re doing, but look at the state of my account. It’s been hovering around 80,000 for two days. My unrealized profit went from 7,800 down to 1,200, and the fees are more than what I made. This $CT fell so much, and I still added another lot. Regretted it as soon as I did. Well, that’s that.

$ANIME I’m honestly so fed up with myself. I checked this morning and it was still grinding away there. I figured earnings season had nothing to do with me anyway, and I didn’t understand that FCA stuff in the UK, so I casually put in an order at 0.68, thinking I’d catch a little if I could. But it never came back down. Those few points of unrealized profit I had? Now I’ve given it all back and I’m down another 320. Anyway, I just don’t want to look at it today. ORDER is up 124 points on the futures leaderboard, and that has absolutely nothing to do with me. I’m just stuck babysitting this stupid $ANIME . At least the fees have only taken nearly 40 from me. Seriously, the more I think about it, the more I lose. Someone like me should just stash their money under the mattress. Why am I messing around with futures? I stare at the charts until my eyes hurt, and this is all I have to show for it. I’m done for today. Calling it a day.

$ERA I only had an order sitting at the 0.42 level, and it actually hit it. It went up 19 points before I remembered I’d canceled the order ages ago. Seriously, the fees were more than I made.

$LIGHT 23 points—I’m so done with this. I checked in the morning and it was still dawdling along. I figured earnings season had nothing to do with me anyway, and the UK’s FCA couldn’t touch me, so I went to make some instant noodles. Came back and it had shot straight up. My limit order missed by twenty cents—literally just twenty cents. Tell me that’s not infuriating. It wasn’t that it couldn’t move; it just had no intention of waiting for me. The funding rate was insanely high, too. I couldn’t go short or long, so I just sat there watching that line poke higher and higher, while my unrealized gains and losses bounced all over the place. In the end, I was left with scraps, but they still charged every last cent in fees.

Whenever I hear “be greedy when others are fearful” now, it just pisses me off. I fell for that back in April and kept buying around 80k—three times. I turned 120k USDT into 79k, and paid over 2k in fees on top of that. The Fear & Greed Index was only in the 40s then, and people were telling me “neutral” meant opportunity. What opportunity? I was the opportunity—I was the one catching the falling knife. BTC is still hovering around 80k, and my account balance hasn’t budged. If anyone brings up long-term holding or diamond hands again, I’m gonna lose it. Can long-term holding really leave you with negative returns? $TICKER

Bro, I honestly can't make sense of this market anymore. It's been hovering around 80,000 for two days, and my unrealized profit has dropped from 7,800 to 1,200. Meanwhile, I've paid over 300 in fees. I checked the Fear and Greed Index this morning—it was 45, neutral. Neutral, my ass. I lost the ability to feel greedy ages ago. I was eating instant noodles when I saw the news that the Dow had fallen 653 points, and after reading it, I lost my appetite. Earnings season doesn't matter to me anyway; I don't have any money to buy stocks. I'm just sitting here holding this crappy position, not doing a thing. If I do, I'll only lose money. Last week I got trigger-happy and closed a trade, then chased it back in and lost another 2,000. I really am my own worst enemy. Now I've been staring blankly at the candlestick chart for half an hour, too scared to even place a trade. Maybe I should just quit while I'm ahead—well, not that I am. $SOL

Earnings season is here and all I can do is fucking laugh. What the hell does earnings season have to do with my BTC chopping around 80K? I don’t give a shit how much those companies make or lose. I just see the Dow down 653 points and get a little freaked out, then look back at my own position and it’s still up $470. I’m really in that state where I’m too scared to add and too scared to cut. The Fear and Greed Index is sitting at 45, stuck in the middle—just like me. Honestly, I was thinking of making a move while earnings season volatility was high, but after thinking it over for ages, I still couldn’t even decide which way to trade. My hand just sat on the mouse while I kept staring at the screen. $TICKER Never mind, I’ll stop talking.

Seriously, what does the Dow dropping 653 points have to do with my 80k worth of BTC? My position wasn’t even that big, and now I’ve lost over 2,000 in a single day. I was hoping to play it safe during earnings season, and this is how that turned out. $TICKER

Watched it all day and only made 470 yuan—not even fucking enough to order takeout. What does the Dow dropping 653 points have to do with you? $TIA

People keep saying, “Be greedy when others are fearful”—do you even know how much money you have left in your account? I did exactly that: gritted my teeth and bought 0.3 BTC around $80,000 to average down. And now? The Fear Index is stuck at 45, going nowhere. After I got greedy, my account went from 110,000 to 60,000. You call that greed? That’s just giving your money away. Seriously, back then my whole feed was full of “diamond hands, diamond hands.” My hands may have turned to diamonds, but my money disappeared. I hadn’t even figured out that OCC stablecoin thing with the seven-day redemption period, and people were already saying to just hold and not sell. What’s the difference between holding and just giving up? Anyway, when I see anyone saying that again, I honestly can’t keep it together. $TST

You people really have the nerve to say “be greedy when others are fearful.” When my account plunged from 110k to 41k, where was all that greed? It’s been stuck around 80k for almost two weeks now, and the Fear & Greed Index is at 46—neutral. Neutral my ass. Should I try being greedy or what? I’ve tried buying the dip three times, and all three times I bought halfway down. My last buy was 1,900u, and I’m now down over 400. I’m the kind of person who gets even more fearful when others are fearful. I don’t even have the headspace to look into the OCC ending automatic extensions for seven-day stablecoin redemptions. Anyway, with the tiny position I have, I wouldn’t be able to redeem anything worthwhile. Diamond hands, diamond hands… if I keep holding on like this, my hands are really going to turn to ash. $MAGMA

I was scrolling through the futures gainers list until after 2 a.m. last night. Seeing BIRB up more than 180% had my eyes popping out of my head. Then I locked my phone and told myself I definitely wouldn’t touch it tomorrow. But today I opened my eyes at 8:50, hadn’t done a thing, and just watched it shoot up again. My finger kept hovering over the buy button—I’d press it, let go, press it, let go. In the end, I just couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger. Honestly, I’ve only got a little over 3,000 USDT left in my account. Even if I lost it all, it’d only be about a month’s wages, but I just can’t take that step. Seriously, every time I’ve jumped into something that was pumping hard before, it’s turned right around on me, like it was watching my account. The market’s just been grinding around 80,000, and I don’t even feel like reading the news about XRP’s 150-million deal. I just want to lie low and stop caring what anyone says. I can’t even be bothered to calculate the fees. $BIRB

$ORDER At 69 points, I really didn’t dare touch it. I just watched it climb up from the bottom, my hand hovering over the order button, but I just couldn’t bring myself to press it. Now I’m kicking myself. Anyway, I missed that whole move.

$IRYS You guys are really bold chasing a coin that’s up 206 points in a single day. I watched the gainers list all afternoon and couldn’t bring myself to make a move. I just wanted to know when the people who were already in got out—did they sell after it doubled, or hold on until they’d collected all the funding? Last time I chased a hot coin like this, I put in over 2,000 USDT and gritted my teeth through six hours of wild swings that had me on edge. In the end, I took an 80 USDT profit and got out—then it pumped another 40 points. I was so mad I couldn’t get over it for hours. Today the Fear and Greed Index is at 46, neutral, and Bitcoin’s still hovering around 80,000. Honestly, I can’t even imagine what price would be a safe entry. Do you guys really have that kind of market instinct, or are you just taking a gamble? My position’s practically gathering dust.

$DOOD I've been watching you all day, seriously. This morning I saw the news that the IRS might lower that tax-disclosure penalty and thought the market would have to react somehow. But there you are, just lying there doing nothing. Meanwhile, $IRYS next door pumped over 200%, and $BIRB is up another 170%. This little bit of $DOOD I’m holding is still green—the kind of green so dark it’s practically black. I got caught up in the moment and bought in at 0.018. Now I’m down about one big bullish candle’s worth, and then some. It’s not that I haven’t thought about cutting my losses; I just can’t bring myself to tap the button. Anyway, the Fear & Greed Index is at 46, neutral. Tell me, where’s the neutral in that? My mindset is anything but neutral. And earnings season’s whole pile of nonsense is still ahead of us.

$BMT You’ve quietly climbed 50 points—seriously, you’ve been making your way up without a peep. This morning I was reading the news about the IRS lowering tax disclosure penalties for crypto cases, thinking it was good news and the market might steady out. Then I looked back at the futures leaderboard and you’d already shot up this much. I’m sitting here with nothing in hand, just watching. I actually came across you yesterday, but those three letters looked so bland that I didn’t dare touch it. And now here I am, watching you climb 50 points from the bottom. How do I put it? I just regret it. I really do. I can understand you fluctuating around 80,000—neutral at 46 and all—but how come you just went and turned halfway around without saying a word?

$JCT You're down 38 points—I can't say anything about that, but I really couldn't keep my hands off it. This morning I saw the news that the IRS was going to lower disclosure penalties and even thought it was bullish. I figured the Fear and Greed Index was at 46, neutral, and BTC was stuck around 80,000 without moving, so I thought I wouldn't dare chase the contracts that were pumping on the leaderboard. I just casually took a punt on this one that was falling, thinking I'd get out after a two-point bounce. But as soon as I got in, it got slammed straight down. Now I'm sitting at -38 points, and I'm just a little short of getting liquidated. I've been staring at that red number all afternoon. It's that feeling where you know you should cut your losses but just can't bring yourself to do it. I know I'm being greedy; I just don't want to admit it. Now I'm stuck in this position, not moving at all.

$BMT You really just quietly grind up 50 points without saying a word, huh? This morning I was reading that news about the IRS lowering penalties for tax disclosures, wondering if it counted as bullish, then I looked back and your contract had already shot up 50 points. I didn’t have a thing in it—I could only watch. The funding rate is practically eating people alive and you’re still pumping. You’d been moving sideways around 80k for so long, I honestly didn’t expect you of all coins—the one nobody usually talks about—to be the first to move. I’ve accepted that I missed IRYS’s 250-point run, and I’ve accepted missing BIRB too, but how did I not get on board for your 50 points, BMT? It’s that feeling of watching something pass right in front of your eyes. My limit order is still sitting down below, not moving an inch.
