FOMO isn't just greed; it's a mental override that makes you betray your own rules. It's more dangerous than you realize because it bypasses all logic, screaming 'you're missing out!' and suddenly your entire risk management plan, your stop-losses, your position sizing – they all vanish like smoke. You think you're immune until you're there, watching a coin pump. I remember watching SOL pump past a level I swore I wouldn't touch. My finger just *had* to click 'buy' with 50x leverage, ignoring every red flag, because 'everyone else was making bank'. Next thing I knew, my small profit was a huge liquidation. My brain literally disconnected. If that feeling hits, walk away. Close the app. Seriously. Do anything else. Come back when your head is clear. Your money will thank you.
