We’ve all said it. When Bitcoin hits a new All-Time High (ATH), the most common phrase in crypto is: "I wish I had bought in early." But as CZ recently pointed out, being "early" isn't a matter of luck or timing—it’s a matter of temperament.
When the market is green and everyone is celebrating, it feels safe to buy. But that "safety" comes with a premium price tag. The people who are currently sitting on massive gains didn't buy when the headlines were glowing. They bought when the market felt broken, when the "Fear and Doubt" were at their peak, and when most people were calling crypto a failed experiment.
If you are waiting for "clear skies" and positive news to enter a position, then you are mathematically choosing to buy at a higher price. You are paying for the comfort of certainty.
However, if you can train yourself to see "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt" (FUD) as a discount tag rather than a warning sign, then you are finally thinking like a market maker instead of a retail follower. This mindset shift is what separates those who fund the exit liquidity from those who profit from it.
History shows us that the best entry points are always the most uncomfortable ones. Whether it’s Bitcoin’s recent volatility or the shift in Ethereum's price levels we discussed earlier, the principle remains the same: Fortune favors the bold, but it specifically rewards the patient.
The next time the market experiences a major dip, the majority will panic-sell. A small minority will remember this tweet from CZ and see it as an opportunity. The question isn't where the price will be in 24 hours; it's where you want to be when the next ATH arrives.
