Ever notice how everyone becomes a quant trader the second Bitcoin starts pumping? It's wild—suddenly everyone's got sophisticated strategies, complex models, the whole nine yards. But here's the thing worth thinking about: the moment the market cools, so does the confidence. Says a lot about what we actually understand versus what we just think we understand when things are going our way.

When the bull market arrives, they're all experts; when the bear market comes, they're all novices. That's just how it is—nothing to pretend about.

When the bull market arrives, everyone is a master; when the bear market comes, we're all just leeks. LOL

The bull market is here, everyone is a trading master; when the bear market comes, everyone collectively forgets. This is the crypto world, bro.

Ironically, everyone is a trading master in a bull market, but when the bear market comes, everyone collectively forgets [cold laugh] --- Data speaks for itself. Check the liquidation leaderboard to see how many "quantitative geniuses" died in the last cycle. --- Here we go again. This set of words is said every cycle, yet no one truly learns the lesson. --- Objectively speaking, confidence is more unstable than K-line charts. Who dares to call it a strategy? --- Interestingly, those who truly understand have long since shut up, and most of the braggarts are just second-wave entrants. --- We've discussed market irrationality for so many years, but the pattern remains the same every time. We are truly forgetful. --- I'm not criticizing, but anyone who has experienced a complete cycle should understand this principle. Yet every time, newcomers think they are different. --- From a technical perspective, mastering the model is easy; the key is psychological resilience, which is the hurdle most people cannot overcome.
