A group member once went all-in on a dog coin, and it skyrocketed twenty times without selling, saying he wanted to wait for fifty times. Later, it went to zero, and he posted, "Feels like I just had a dream."

Yes, it’s just a feeling. Think about it carefully—the euphoria of making money during the last bull run, and the despair of staring at your phone during the margin call that night. What’s left now? Just a vague emotional memory. Price fluctuations themselves aren’t painful; it’s the greed of chasing gains and the obsession with missing out that hurt.

There’s an old saying in crypto called "Diamond Hands." It sounds cool, but many people are actually trapped into being Diamond Hands. True Diamond Hands know what they want; it’s not about being unwilling to sell. Recognizing whether you are aggressive or conservative, and being able to hold your hand during FOMO, is much harder than understanding candlestick charts. Buddhism teaches "subdue the mind," and in crypto, that means—you first need to control that part of you that always wants to buy the dip and sell the top.

Market ups and downs, the rise and fall of circumstances, and the numbers in your wallet are ultimately just numbers. Take profits when you can, treat losses as tuition, don’t be too greedy, don’t be too attached.

Contentment is not about lying flat; it’s understanding that some money was never really yours.
