Traders often get bombarded with requests to analyze every token that pops up. Here's the thing though – not having a strong opinion on most coins isn't a weakness, it's actually smart trading discipline.
The real skill? Knowing when to sit on your hands. When there's no obvious chart pattern forming, no compelling setup screaming at you, that's your cue to stay out. Chasing every shiny object in crypto is how portfolios get wrecked.
The best trades reveal themselves. They don't need forcing. If you're squinting at a chart trying to convince yourself there's an opportunity, there probably isn't one. Patience beats FOMO every single time.

That's so true. I'm exactly the kind of person controlled by FOMO. I want to jump in on everything I see, and now I'm almost left with nothing.

No chasing, no FOMO—that's what it feels like to be truly alive.

What you said is absolutely right. I got trapped by FOMO in exactly the same way.

It's true, watching too many coins just makes you unhappy. You really need to have some self-control.

That's a really strong statement; it's truly the lesson most people are missing.

So true, I've been troubled by this "wanting to buy everything I see" syndrome several times.

You're absolutely right, I just can't control myself. Whenever I see a new token, I want to go all in, and end up losing everything in one shot.
