People repeat the same pattern every cycle.
They get impatient when nothing's moving, panic sell way too early, then chase pumps at the top when FOMO kicks in.
The move? Buy the dips and sit tight. That alone beats most traders.
The hard part isn't finding the right entry—it's doing nothing after you buy. Most can't handle the waiting. They need constant action, constant validation that they made the right call. So they sell at the first sign of boredom or doubt.
Then when everything rips, they convince themselves "this time is different" and buy back in at 3x the price they sold at.
The cycle repeats because emotions don't change. Fear and greed drive the same behaviors decade after decade.
If you can buy when it's quiet, when sentiment is dead, when your timeline is full of people saying the bull run is over—and then just hold through the noise—you're already ahead of 90% of the market.
Patience isn't passive. It's the most active decision you make.
